My 12-year-old was mad at me for structuring reading time as a break from his new PS5, exclaiming I DON’T LIKE TO READ. But he settled in and we read together. He started Buddha Takes the Mound and I’m reading The Best Minds.

In the cafe section … presumably the “no hot foods” SNAP policy. There shouldn’t be restrictions on food items for SNAP.

For those interested in crowd behavior it’s worth watching The Saint of Second Chances on Netflix for the example of the Disco Demolition Night promotion by the Chicago White Sox (July 12, 1979).
