Missed this somehow, Ron Rash, a Carolina’s author of note has a new novel out (Sept ’23), “The Caretaker”. Nice reviews and if you have read his other works you know it’s going to be good. I’ll read it soon.

I am watching College BBall right now and a player on Michigan is playing with a bad case of the flu.
In 2020 they shut down the rest of a season and 2020-21 they cancelled hundreds of games because “Flu” even when there were no symptoms.
The WuFlu Scamdemic was so extraordinarily insane and yet I bet most of the Maskers and Crazies watching today completely ignore the implications of what I see today as this player goes to the bench dehydrated and exhausted, but looks to come back in after a short rest.
In the past, players have routinely played while ill. Just not allowed when there is an election to scam with hysterics…
Of there is the famous Jordan “Flu Game” but that was the Pros.
But of course the “pros” also Scammed the Seasons…
Testing something. If the change I just made in the Admin page worked, admins will not get email about this comment. Mike will, because he created this post.
EDIT: Well, so much for that idea. Back to mucking through the settings.
I did…
Just had a thought: what email software do you use? Because what I did in Thunderbird was, I set up the endless parade of emails I still get from Porretto’s WP install informing me of new user registrations over at his place to just be dumped out as spam. They still arrive, but IU never see ’em at all. Works like a charm, you might consider trying that, maybe.
Oh, I can filter them out at my end, but the point is that they shouldn’t be getting sent in the first place. It just started up sometime last year, IIRC. Not a major crisis but annoying. Not as annoying as the typical teenage daughter, mind, but still something to stomp if possible. I noticed the emails when I happened to have a few minutes free so I fiddled with it … and bounced. No big deal.
Whatever happened had the same effect on us all I think. I believe it started when the Halloween update was made. But I’m not sure about that.
Agreed.
Although we can’t rule out a WP or other change that happened coincidentally.

Spring is breaking out in my area. Tree’s are budding and the redbuds are already dropping to the ground.
This year spring comes a day “early”, March 19, due to leap year adding a day to the calendar.
The high today (Charlotte NC area) is projected to be 73. Near perfect.
Just for Mike:
Scha-WEEEET!!! 😉
Knwoing the old-school biker community as I do, I’d bet anything this ain’t the only one out there.
