Post something just for the heck of it

[frankfrank]

For all you sports fans out there (OR EVEN IF NOT):

This is a LONG read, but when the story "brought on the waterworks" in a big way (i. e., YES I did cry), it reminded me of how grateful I am to have been gifted with a strong sense of empathy.

Friends don't know me of "all that much" of a sports fan - and even if so, football is NOT my "default" sport. I learned quite some time ago not to summarily ignore something simply because it's about sports.

If I hadn't learned that already, this story would have schooled me not to ignore this stuff.

This will surely be the coolest thing I read in all of 2018, I find it hard to imagine anything better.

Quite the family photo, and the man makes pink look good!

I loved this most of all, though: "Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it's thinking of yourself less."

Fuck me! As if I'm not stressed out enough. I dropped my daughter back at uni yesterday and today they already found a body on camus. Classes dont even start until tomorrow ��.

Is it somehow more expected to find bodies if classes have started?

No: it is expected to start suffering for your soldiers when they are actually at work in the fields.

Was it a 'student body'?

That was actually funny.
On campus suicides is a sad reality at many colleges, but they don't happen till after classes start .
In this case it was an accidental hit and run.

And now for something different:

^ No way in hell! (Some of those bike tricks I've seen, also like the bike acrobat in Scotland...makes me wonder if the bike could catastrophically break?)

"Le discours n'est pas la vie ; son temps n'est pas le vôtre ; en lui, vous ne vous réconcilierez pas avec la mort ; il se peut bien que vous ayez tué Dieu sous le poids de tout ce que vous avez dit ; mais ne pensez pas que vous ferez, de tout ce que vous dites, un homme qui vivra plus que lui. En chaque phrase que vous prononcez -et très précisément en celle-ci que vous êtes en train d'écrire à l'instant, vous qui vous acharnez à répondre depuis tant de pages à une question par laquelle vous vous êtes senti personnellement concerné, et qui allez signer ce texte de votre nom -, en chaque phrase règne la loi sans nom, la blanche indifférence : «Qu'importe qui parle ; quelqu'un a dit : qu'importe qui parle.» "

Bikes break...and so do some riders. Martyn Ashton had Danny McAskill and Chris Akrigg finish a video he was making as he had a fall doing a show and was paralyzed. Still gets out and around on special bikes and seems to have a good attitude.
