- @Willy, my uncle got bilateral hip replacements in the space of six weeks a couple years ago, and he's aged in reverse since. Orthopedics has come a really long way and can be an enormous boost in quality of life. (I think he went to OrthoCincy, fwiw, although NKY/Cincy is loaded with really good orthos so you definitely have options.)
- I thought surely Ruggs just posted 150k because a percentage would be less appalling, but no, the judge really set the bond that low for a) killing someone b) severely injuring his passenger and c) having a gun in the car. I know nothing about bail in Vegas, maybe they have weird rules; but a DUI fatality with multiple aggravators and a defendant with deep pockets has to be good for at least half a mil, even if they don't have significant history. Absurd.
I want to know how the hell he and his gf weren't killed instantly. They were going way faster than Terence Clarke (although I know he didn't have his seatbelt on correctly) for instance, and it appears Ruggs didn't swerve away at all. Everything about the story is just awful.
- As I've said previously, I want the University of Tennessee to be vaporized into a pile of ashes. I hope Mark Stoops has similar hate in his heart, and that this hate doesn't cloud his gameplanning decisions. Beat. The. Vols.
- Thank the Lord that Saturday is fall back day, because apparently I'm going to GameDay at UC before we head to Lexington. (I will be wearing my Kentucky gear, obviously.) That's a long day for this old lady, especially since I compete again the following Saturday. So, again: **** the Vols, smd, let us pray.
