Byron Buxton is still having trouble decelerating when running, which appears to be slowing his rehab down. Won't immediately go on a rehab assignment. #MNTwins
Sandwich podcast update. As part of the getting of my shit together health wise I decided to undo the breads and have settled on some flaxseed flat “bread” cardboard bs. The stuff inside now really matters. Today’s entry is a bit o chipotle mayo, romaine, Monterey Jack, left over hoisin ginger green beans, a slice of smoked turkey, and the chargrilled corn off the cob from last night. Winner winner turkey dinner.
Man, that is just wrong. Eat the bread, go for a walk. Or just accept your fate.
Life is too short to give up on good bread.
That said
Costco Ciabatta roll slathered with mayo and toasted
Chevre with lemon thyme
Leftover grilled portobello
Lettuce
It was top-notch. Grilled portobello is sooooo good.
I can't eat those anymore because of a food borne illness that had me both sitting and kneeling at the same time. Balsamic marinade, grilled onions, sliced avocado, jack cheese, toasted buns, barf.
If it makes you feel any better, these late-occuring covid side effects mean I can't eat most things... I grilled these beautiful burgers the other night and to me they tasted like if garbage had died.
Actually, sandwiches are about the only thing that has been working consistently for me lately. That and sugar.
I got up at 4am this morning to watch the progression from cancun. It was worth it.
trying to figure out what this means; fails.
Does anyone read the CoC posts anymore?
I figured it out!
Well, "progression" isn't the word I'd expect in that context.
Sad news from the children's book world. Both Eric Carle and Lois Ehlert (illustrator of Chica Chica Boom Boom and many others) have passed away.
Ugh.
Apparently the onion headline about the only nation where these things happen is evergreen.
Seattle Wolves anyone? Taylor claimed the new owners wouldn't be allowed to move but maybe that was a pinky promise.
The complaint filed by Orbach includes a significant revelation: Despite Taylor’s public statements to the contrary, there's no provision in the $1.5B sales agreement with Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez that requires the new ownership group to keep the franchise in Minnesota. https://t.co/BXaIPJetwK
Gawd please move them and release me from this pain.
Just start fresh and pretend the whole thing was a bad dream. Never happened.
Nice Dallas reference there, Mr. Green.
I'm not...was this really something said at the time?
are you not familiar with the Dream Season??? I mean, I know I'm old and all....
😆 Train of thought was...franchise moving...Dallas...Mr. (Norm) Green!, derailment.
You got it. Franchise relocation --> dream sequence --> Dallas --> Norm Green.
Taylor bought the team for $94 million in 1994 and he's selling for $1.5 billion. That's a total return rate of 15.9% if I did the calculation right. In that time, regular investors have weathered three significant recessions - the dot.com bust in 2001/2002, the mortgage bond collapse in 2008, and last year's COVID-19 contraction. Between 1991 and 2020, the stock market had an average annualized return of 10.7%. So with his Wolves investment Taylor basically outperformed the stock market by somewhere around 50% (again, I'm not confident in my math skills).
I got 10.8% for annualized rate of return using Investopedia's formula. The S&P 500 had a 10.08% increase, if you reinvested all dividends.
What Sean said. (1+rate of return)^years gives you the multiple.
94*((1+X)^27) = 1,500. Solve for X.
It doesn't really matter because that isn't an apples-to-apples comparison.

We have found Vroom Vroom Guy.
Buxton is definitely Vroom Vroom Guy
In the past, he'd let the wall do that

The Saints jump into the hat game.
Marvelous
They needed a Prince, perhaps Grain Belt sign, and maybe “Fargo” for maximum snark.
Now we’re talking.
The duck duck grey duck is chef's kiss.
The hot dish reference pushes it beyond.
Oh no, the zipper merge is truly the best
I would buy this hat.
Came here to say this.

Yes, because did he reinvest the dividends?
