A Large Regular

Some quotes I hope may resonate with you.

"If you raise the price of the hotdog combo, I'll fucking kill you." - Costco CEO Jim Sinegal 

"I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass." - Roddy Piper

"For if I ask you for advice about what objectives to pursue in life, it is no good telling me to do what the laws of physics mandate. I will do that in any case." - David Deutsch

"Study logic and math, because once you've mastered them, you won't fear any book." - Naval Ravikant

 

July 31st in kind of a big deal in Boston and in my life. Including Garnett's picture because he was my favorite NBA player until the day he retired:

Boston Celtics trade for Kevin Garnett in 2007.

Rowdy Roddy Piper dies in 2015.

Celtics icon Bill Russell passes away.

Nomar Garciaparra is traded from the Red Sox in 2004.

JK Rowling's birthday.

EDIT: Should have added trade with Seattle where Boston got Varitek and Lowe in 1997.

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

I would love to watch a documentary on Internet trolls narrated by David Attenborough... A major study finds little evidence that eating red meat is linked to cancer, diabetes, or heart disease. Yay meat!... Who knew? During Prohibition Walgreens grew from 20 stores to 500 in large part from sales of "medicinal" whiskey... Really looking forward to the NBA season - not just to see how Kemba Walker fits with the Celtics but also to see how Russell Westbrook fits with the Rockets... Roddy Piper set to Peter Gabriel's In Your Eyes. Rowdy Roddy was the best... "It is requisite for the relaxation of the mind that we make use, from time to time, of playful deeds and jokes." - Thomas Aquinas... I would love to see Larry Bird made head of USA Basketball...
