    Barcelona Avocado Shortage & the Illusion of a Bilingual City

    I have an RCTB shirt that one of my daughters bought the first time she went to Barcelona. She said that the club told her they only sold to club members, but she told them she had walked a couple of miles to get to the club, and begged and they acquiesced.

    Tournament Stringing Price Fiasco

    Two things SHE could have done to improve her results are

    Sharapova 1 (by a huge margin over 2): Don't let anyone change you from leftie to rightie. Her shoulder problems might never have happened if she had stayed on her dominant side, and let's face it, southpaws have a definite advantage at any level. 2: Improved footwork. She seemingly never...

    Heel slippage in ASO Ankle Braces... HELP!

    Search for nylon self-adhesive repair patches. I cut them to fit over any part of the shoe's collar that is getting rubbed by the braces. It may not look great, but it is better than ripping the shoe fabric.

    What do the TW members think of this Alien stuff ?

    I'm pretty sure that 'Oumuamua was in fact an alien probe looking for intelligent life in the solar system, and having found none it accelerated away.

    Titan Ball Machines

    Right, but Boeing and car companies have a few orders of magnitude more software engineers, and budget, than a tennis ball machine company. Yet they still seemingly use consumers as their beta testers. As did Crowdstrike. I could also give examples of software development for defense...

    Titan Ball Machines

    Hmm, how long did it take Boeing to fix the software on the 737 Max? Or any number of BEVs with initial software problems. And I'd point out that in those cases lives were at stake, and in the case of the 737s, lives were lost.

    Martin Mull has passed. In the article I read there was no mention of one (well, two) of the greatest comedy shows ever, Fernwood 2 Night and America 2-Night. Yes, he was on Roseanne and Arrested Development, and my daughters only know him from Sabrina the Teenaged Witch, but Fernwood and...

    See whether your place will be flooded if the whole ice on earth melts

    Mine will be fine, as will my oldest daughter's place. My youngest will be about 10 blocks from the water. And my tennis club will be fine as well. As has already happened in a number of countries, the US capital would need to be relocated, so both my daughters would likely need to move due...

    USTA league tennis, pay to play?

    When I was in high school in the early 70s in Colorado, Cherry Creek High School (public) was in the midst of 19 consecutive state championships. The district feeding that school was reportedly the wealthiest in the nation at the time, certainly in the state. Most of the varsity team had...
