I am a women's athletics admirer. My deceased wife was a professional athlete and later a coach for women and girls sports. That stuff wore off on me permanently. Thus I admire women who are dedicated to their particular sport in spite of the sacrifices and difficulties.

Here is a story about a Hasidic woman who dispatched her ultra strict beliefs that had been thrust upon her.She became an athlete and an atheist.

Some of you may find the following article worth reading.

So a complexity-loving The Asmo went and watched Himself-self the Trump v. Biden ""debate"" this weekend.

...And currently, He is also a God of disappointment. :snicker1: That shit was comically painful.

That was indeed painful, especially that segment about playing golf. Any way it was amusing to see that finally the legacy media had to admit that Biden has mental "issues". Trump just had to keep Biden talking so that he would dig his own grave. BTW: what astonished me most were the amount of lies and half truths told on both sides.

Tom; by most counts, the score was Biden 9 Trump 30,  Trump won the prevarication contest decisively.
