BMX Racing was added in 2008.  Freestyle BMX is new.

We experimented with not watering our lawn. The biggest problem is once the grass died, the weeds moved in. A healthy lawn is fairly good at keeping the weeds out. Now we water just enough to keep the grass strong enough to defend against the weeds.

Karate is not really similar to Judo and makes for a poor comparison. Tae Kwon Do would be a better comparison, or even boxing is closer to Karate than Judo.

There are 6 new sports in the Olympics this year, not 4.  You missed 3x3 basketball and freestyle BMX.

The one thing that’s reduced the most food waste for us is to designate one of the shelves as a “leftovers shelf”. Previously, finding leftovers was a complicated game of cat and mouse, with quiche hiding behind the milk, cooked chicken behind the Gatorade bottles, and a container of chili working its way into the…

I put a ring on the top of our hummingbird feeder to keep the ants from getting into the juice. I think I’ve had the same Vaseline on there for 3 years now.

The TikTokers likely didn’t think it through...

This is also important if your state dragged their feet on RealID compliance. In Oregon it’s faster to get a passport than a ReadlID-compliant driver’s license.

This post should really mention the World Health Organization announced in August that people should avoid routine dental work while Covid spread is high. Of course that was in August and we all know how the US has done since then. 🙄

Beth:
It’s... likely—that it completely shuts down transmission.

And garlic to get the soap smell off!

I have an Xbox and the thing eats batteries like I eat pie

With respect to ergonomics, I already had an acceptable chair in the home office. The kiddos had no such luck. It occurred to me - I have a really good office chair that I’m not using... back in the office. I went to work and grabbed my company-provided chair for one of the kids.  Then I contacted some co-workers…

Those GameStop sweaters get more outrageous every year!

The country and the states have completely failed on testing. Who thinks the underfunded schools are going to fare any better? I understand there is significant value to having the kids in schools but many “plans” seem to potentially trade away human life to get them there.

Yep, I got a little over zealous with the red pen.

The top seed from both divisions conferences will have a bye the first week of the playoffs...
