IMO, there is nothing - absolutely nothing! - better than a 3-pointer at the buzzer to win (or tie) a big game. Only thing comparable that I can think of in sports would be a walk-off home run.
I know it wasn't right at the buzzer but an underrated one might be Donovan Jackson's 3 at Kansas. The crowd was loud and expecting to win in that arrogant Kansas crowd way and suddenly it was quite and everybody was leaving.
Outside in the cold distance
A wildcat did growl
Two riders were approaching
And the wind began to howl
Now back to my never ending fall lawn work. Cannot find the little mini-rake I use to pull leaves out of the Japanese yews. Figure it got "bagged".

Since it is looking rainy and crappy this weekend I am heading home soon to clean the gutters, rake and maybe even put the Christmas lights up (not turning them on) just so it is done. Also planning to have a fire with some friends tonight to get through some wood before I do more tree trimming next year.
I'm having a fire because it's the best way to kick back and relax with the vixen after a long, stressful work week. The Christmas lights will be up this weekend at my house, too.
They were interviewing some basement dweller this morning. His answers were basically "it's the new iPhone"
How come I don't have neighbors like this?

I really hate putting up lights this early, but it's hard to pass up a 70 degree day in November. I may be doing the same.
Okay lawn work is snowed out but not before I cleaned the leaves off off the dozen yews and cut off the squirrel highway (big crabapple branch that extended over my birdfeeder). The Bob's are going to be frustrated tomorrow and this pleases me.

Read: next brother-in-law that tries to pull that with me knows he's going to need a nutcup. They have been warned.

You're right. Usually I use "translation". But I figured we both know English. Of course, I could be overestimating you...
Some people just move the mouse over and use their left hand. I learned on a computer set up for a lefty so the buttons are reversed (left index finger for primary click, left middle finger for secondary click). I would recommend swapping the buttons if you are going to do it regularly for a while. I think it is a little easier for your brain to make the switch if you are always primary clicking with your index finger regardless of which hand is operating the mouse.
I will admit that I have used a mouse the other way (without buttons swapped) as well when just using my left for a few minutes and I can be effective, but it seems to take a little more concentration.
I know I am nit-picking, but I have an issue with this statement:
There are over 7 billion humans on the planet. While they may be pushing out the rest of the great apes, the total number of great apes on the planet is skyrocketing due to the explosion of the naked ape.
We humans tend to forget we are also part of the great apes.
