Rainers Balodis saw Eveliina Salonen's round this morning and said "Yeah, that's the way to win. I'll do that." #PDGAWorlds #DiscGolf

So now the big question: Will Anyone challenge Eveliina's 4 round score after 5 rounds? So far, this is just a victory lap. #PDGAWorlds #DiscGolf

It was almost the Back to the Future soundtrack, but that was too expensive for what I had in my pocket. So later it ended up being The Hooters Nervous Night

One thing I saw quite a long time ago, and think about on the road, is that there is a known correlation between people's trust in government and obeyance of traffic laws. I don't know that I'd say it's a 'sudden decline', but I do think... 1/2

Ski Mountaineering Mixed Relay is a lot better look at the sport, imo. This is way less fraught with just the transitions, and shows the training, skill, and strategy with these athletes.

Ok, that's enough competition. Time for the ice resurfacing discotheque party at the Speed Skating rink.

Of all the things we are doing in MN, this one is just beyond. Imagine being released from hell alone in the cold. And a total stranger has waited all night with a blanket just to be ready to hug you and carry you home. Every job we do is crucial, but this one is what restores humanity and dignity.

I know he's getting ready for 2-man Run 3, but I just wanted to thank @thekenchilds.com for helping me get more invested in sliding sports. Catching up on Runs 1 and 2, and realizing I am aware of more than half the field, and even with some of the traits (like Tentea's ability to throw down a run).

Random 2026 Olympics thought: The second week, they seem to have figured out how to do audio that minimizes the buzzy drone sounds. Nearly every venue I was hearing it on the first week is much better, frequently to the point of not hearing it at all.

I can appreciate the technical skill, but something in me just revolts at having extra people actually on the competition surface, in any sport. The camera guys running onto the field in football after a touchdown may have started it, but I really feel like it's not a trend I want to see continue.

If it's wrong to not root for someone because they're engaged to Jake Paul, I don't think I can be right...

I have to say that a lot of the teams that NBC has calling the Olympics are very good. Bill Spaulding and Joey Cheek doing a good job with the big track speed skating. Leigh Diffey and Erin Hamlin were great in Luge, and Bree Schaff good in Skeleton.

time and time again, MAGA Republicans are more excited to target and root against American athletes who have spoken out against them (or, in this case, merely expressed ambivalence) than they actually are to celebrate winning American athletes

My freshman year roommate tried to change himself to a 30-hour day (missing classes every 3rd day), played CSNY incessantly, and never came back for spring semester. So not great, but not traumatic.
