My afternoon “job” was to help Coconut Line. A community project to set up resource stores where donations of clothes toys items of different needs are available to fire displaced families. They happened to be short handed and I basically manned the second store. Folded and hung up new clothes donations. Helped customers. Also did some Orthopaedic counseling as one of the founders sons has a football injury.

Dive trip to Maui. Did three days of diving mostly in Lahaina. Trying to support local businesses recovering from the fire. The city and the island need more tourist to come. Spent this morning working at a food warehouse sorting out donated food. Feed my sheep. Will help distribute the food tomorrow in Lahaina.

The other shoe has dropped. They say timing is everything. Volvo not pursuing all electric cars now. New live for the S60 PHEV? Too late now for me to consider.

09/04/2024

I guess it's official, as I was warned, that my previous car is on the chopping block. Volvo S60PHEV 2025 will be the last model. Interesting how Volvo is pushing all electric despite it's small SUV EX30 can't sell in the US and has had software problems. Several other brands have announced they're abandoning select electric cars due to poor sales. Also PHEVs are a strong market now for other brands. Make sense of all this?

Surprising? My first concerts were in high school when my sister took me to Neil Sedaka and Manhattan Transfer. We’ve taken the kids to Chicago for the horns. I’ve been to Van Halen (can’t remember why) when we first moved to LV. Usher due to professional courtesy. This is the biggest stretch for me but it was a great show even if I didn’t know any of the songs or lyrics.

As the starter’s blast echoed through the cobblestone streets of Maniago, Italy, in May, Charles Moreau and his fellow World Cup competitors in hand-cycling surged forward. Then, less than 100 feet into the race, Moreau and 50 other cyclists suddenly stopped to protest a system they say enables ch...

I have not prescribed this simply because it had so many potential side effects to manage. Most people I meet feel it doesn't help with pain and they don't like the effects.

Mary Peart, 67, a retired nurse in Manchester-by-the-Sea, Massachusetts, began taking gabapentin a year and a half ago to reduce the pain and fatigue of fibromyalgia. The drug helps her climb stairs, walk her dog and take art lessons, she said. With it, “I have a life,” she said. “If I forget ...

If updated COVID vaccines are now real time adjustments (accounting for summer strains) this seems the most "flu-like" that they've become. Flu vaccines are annually adjusted for current strains that are active in the southern hemisphere winters that are expected to translate up to the northern hemisphere winters that follow. My understanding.

The new shots are designed to better protect against the variants fueling this summer's surge of COVID cases.

Afraid to put their head in the water. I recently posted that my first lesson is (for the true novice) to play games underwater. goggles, torpedos, hand games, spiderman crawl on the bottom, blowing bubble rings, etc. Make the new swimmer forget that they're afraid of the water and make it their friendly place by making the first experience fun.

Melon Dash has been teaching swimming to adults afraid to get into the water for decades, in a world where swim instruction focuses mostly on kids. But three out of four drowning deaths involve adults, and she says that calls for a renewed focus on water safety skills for grownups.

In 1984, we swam in the USC McDonalds pool that was built in 1983. It seems from this video that they're going to build a temporary pool in SoFi stadium? Also, people back then were so worried about traffic that many people made plans to be out of town which made a wonderful impact on reducing traffic for the games. I drove my own car to the swim pool and village from my home in Eagle Rock (15 min drive). Only using managed transportation sounds interesting and dubious.

By no means unique and it's hard to say you really know what you're getting yourself into at the start. The hours she notes, however, aren't that daunting (I trained in the era before training hours were limited and averaged 100 hours a week which calculated to lower than minimum wage). More than anything, I think as society's definition of working hard or working too hard changes, individual person's concepts of what is acceptable change. You definitely change your tolerances based on what others tell you is normal or extreme.

Can't say it better than that.

Fancy does not equal success. It can, but just plain hard work and dedication to one's vision is the right path. Reminded my conversation with a British swim coach in Lima Peru who said the pool in Lima (not fancy) was hopefully an advantage for his swimmers who trained in a (not fancy) pool.

Hampton Morris, who trains primarily out of his garage, became the first U.S. man in 40 years to win an Olympic medal in weightlifting.

Her first nickname was "Nation's little sister" given her personality, singing and musical style. Over recent years, she has transitioned to a more grown up style and presentation which was well done and has maintained her status as one of the most popular entertainers in South Korea. Her encores ran almost an extra hour. We worth the effort to attend.

I've said this before, these are probably the most amazing athletes given they do variations of other sports upside down and underwater holding their breaths. Had the fortune of watching Tracy Ruiz and Candie Costie 1984 as we trained together at the USC McDonald's pool on the runup to the Olympics held there. Also have had the opportunity to watch Bill May (Cirque du Soleil's "O" performer) train on the runup to Brazil 4 years ago at the Henderson Multigenerational Center pool to the tunes of 2NE1. As well, the privilege of helping several "O" performers over the years. A different talent level.

What does it take to be a U.S. Olympic artistic swimmer? At a minimum, it demands endurance, power, leonine grace, hair gelatin, dance lessons, mastery of the eggbeater, flamingo, scull and rocket split, daily seven-hour practices, the limberness of fresh linguine, abs of granite, exceptional breath...

the law needs to catch up to technology. Adults and kids alike speeding as fast as or faster than car traffic, usually no helmets, sometimes no shoes, shorts and t-shirts instead of protective gear, equally in amongst car traffic as on sidewalks. These instances are going to increase as riders think they're using toys/recreational bikes and not envisioning them as moped/motorcycle modes of transportation.

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) – A record number of children attending Clark County public schools were hit by vehicles in the 2023-2024 school year, some resulting in serious injuries, according to Clark County officials. The data from the county also revealed a combination of e-bikes and reckless driving may ...
