From an American men's entertainment magazine, July 1977...some things change, some stay the same....
Black & white cartoon of a run down looking male/female couple shopping in a grocery store. The shelves are lined & the couple's shopping basket is filled with with boxes & cans labeled "shit", "crud", "barf", "crap", "junk", "blah" & there is an ad on the wall behind them for "merde" - New from France. The caption is: "And everyday it's costing more & more!"

Saving this to forward to the Grizzlies coaching staff re: dealing with Caruso. 😂
Screenshot of Kevin Durant answering a fan question about dealing with smaller, pesky defenders: Question: "What's the adjustment in that moment knowing the refs gonna let the smaller defenders get away with more?" Answer: "Great question. Play at a slower pace and get lower in an athletic stance, don't think too much bout the physicality. The refs can see their aggression a lil better if i play at my pace."

Understandably, there was no 2025 Grizzlies calander put out at the end of 2024. I wound up buying calander date stickers so I could repurpose old ones for my office.

Anyway, these are the selections for July & I have my little sheet of stickers out, but I'm having too many feelings to pick one. 🥹
2022, 2023 & 2024 Grizzlies player calander, all flipped to the month of July. July 2022 is Kyle Anderson, July 2023 is De'Anthony Melton, 2024 is Tyis Jones. Memphis Grizzlies themed office space.

I'm sorry but, how is Amazon considered "national broadcasting"??? 🤢
Screenshot of WNBA League Pass page for Indiana v. Minnesota for tonight. The game is being broadcast on Amazon. A PAID subscription-NOT national television.

Okay, it's recently reported that they're finally looking at *available* coaches...and evidently Jenkins is on that list?? I don't think he'd make it in the Big Apple. 😬
Screenshot of search results for "Knicks coaching search" Several stories including them striking out 5 tiles in a row, suggestions that they recite Thibs, and Mike Brown & Taylor Jenkins being possibilities.

Dunno why my ride was so hard to get through today, but just when I thought I'd stop short of 10 miles, Antibalas comes on & saves the day! If you need motivation, I highly recommend!! 💪🔥

This morning, I went on my first proper bike ride since slashing my my leg open while being careless at the hardware store 16 days ago. 🤕
I've missed it so much! 🩷🧡💛🩵

My rooster is tiny, but he's full of energy. He *stays* busy with his flock. 😂

The pullets in the enclosure are only 2.5 mo old & they're already bigger than him. But he will still try to mount them so they can't be integrated w/the flock yet. Plus, the 2 hens in the first pic are MEAN AS HELL! 😵‍💫
My rooster, Squiggy, preaching to his flock. Description: tantamount rooster perched on a cement block overlooking a narrow side yard. Two large hens are in the dirt below the perch. Clumps of Johnson grass in the background. My rooster, Squiggy, talking up the young ladies. Description: fenced backyard w/a small enclosure off the main fence. Inside the pen are three black sex link pullets. White & red feeder & waterer are in the pen, which is covered in a blue fleece blanket to provide shade. A small black & white rooster is just outside the pen.

Not relevant at the moment, but YouTube TV needs a WNBA/NBA multicast option.

Three good games right now on WNBA League Pass right now, btw. 😁
Screenshot of WNBA League Pass home page. 3 games are available to watch right now: Chicago Sky/L.A. Sparks, Washington Mystics/Phoenix Mercury, Las Vegas Aces/Seattle Storm. Less than $40 for the annual pass!!
