Ten deaths is the law. Denis Law

A Florida man has been declared missing after allegedly attempting to jet ski from south Florida to the Bahamas. Charles Walker, 52, was last seen on Pompano Beach around 5 p.m. on Sept. 23, according to the Broward Sheriff’s Office. Walker’s family said he was planning on jet skiing from the beach to Bimini in the Bahamas, a distance of around 115 miles. While in the water, Walker’s last known location was 15 nautical miles off the coast of West Palm Beach, per the Coast Guard. (insert Ron Obvious jumping over the English Channel) SC

I didn’t collect them all by any means (I have about 15 from 1972-73) but here are the living baseball players on 7-11 Slurpee cups I do have. Jim Lonborg, Reggie Jackson, Brooks Robinson, Reggie Smith, Denny McLain, Al Oliver, Wilbur Wood, and Willie Mays. There’s a theme team (or better yet, a poll) in there somewhere. SirC

One of the greats in all he did. RIP

Last week I drove through Kokomo (Indiana; just to say I was there; see: dreadful Beach Boys song) and had no idea I had driven into a Mayor Tyler Moore reset!

OK but this is the thread on academia, so you need to tie it up with a pretty bow: “Professor Kripke was well-known for his work in philosophy of language and logic, with his Naming and Necessity, the book version of lectures he delivered at Princeton University in 1970, widely recognized as one of the most important works of 20th Century analytic philosophy. At the time of his death, Kripke was Distinguished Professor of Philosophy and Computer Science at CUNY Graduate Center.From 1977 to 1998 he was a professor of philosophy at Princeton University. Prior to that, he held positions at Rockefeller University, Harvard University, and Princeton, and even before he earned his BA from Harvard in 1962, he taught courses at Yale and MIT.”

Phew! No mention of University Presidents! That’s a win! Wordle website decided it didn’t remember me after 100 or so wins, making me start again at game 1. It sucked the fun out of it and I basically quit after a couple goes. I’m surprised it hasn’t happened to anyone else.

Official welcome is now in the books. SirC
