Well holy shit. There is a greater than 90% chance I am referenced in this article. I say 90% because I would never say OMG out loud non facetiously, and I think I kept my cool until I was outside...but my buddy swears this was me. (And she looked better in person)

Nice.

So think I officiated Anthony Scalia's grandson today. Name matched, fancy private school in the DC area helmet (I think 2 of Scalia's kids are partners in big law firms in DC).

Also....Shirley's school is an impressive facility. Fields upon Fields of perfectly manicured grass and 9 hole golf course, I did not see much more..but considering the schools I have officiated at, this was a nicer one than lots.

Yes, but the lede for me is starting a business with a new boyfriend. I’m riddled with anxiety reading that.

They got called in by Nike. Someone they'd worked with in the past is now running a new division at Nike (not being announced until October) and Barkley is part of that deal.

Yeah...its causing anxiety for my GF as well. They've only been officially a couple since about January, but they've been a business since April.

Almost 100% positive I saw the Georgia Tech Rambling Wreck being towed by a Rivian today in this tiny town outside of Asheville where we visit every year. Passed it on a two lane road, so I didn't get the best of looks at it.

ETA - Wiki tells me there are several replicas

Rivian is the only thing I recognized in any of that. I’m picturing party RVs. Rivian is a new brand if electric trucks, mostly see pickups and and occasional SUV. They have some crazy camping features that are cool. One trim line has a tent that folds out and sits on a platform over the pickup bed.

ETA: not RVs, but a longhorn steer, a horse, a buffalo a covered wagon and 1930 Ford Model A.

Yep, the Rambling Wreck is a gold Model A with GT on the side. I always remember the first line of their fight song, "I'm a Rambling Wreck from Georgia Tech and a heck of an engineer"

I wonder why their teams are called Yellow Jackets instead of something more aligned with a Rambling Wreck.

Because engineers are usually kinda stupid outside of their expertise.

Dude! You went to the Forest. Yeah, it's a stunningly beautiful campus for a high school. The fields are much better than the rocky clay lumpy ones I had.

I'm in California for my partner's father's 90th birthday. Her brother, who's an artist in San Francisco, is here also. The brother is also a member of the Bohemian Club, the private club that has been in the news recently.

He told me last night that he met Jeffery Clarke, currently known as co-conspirator #4, when Clarke was a guest there back in 2016, shortly after Trump won election. The brother told me that Clarke was a major asshole.

He also told us about watching Kid Rock (there as a guest of someone) say something racist to another member, and promptly getting escorted from the property, along with the guy who invited him.

Not much of a brush, but George Thorogood and the (Delaware) Destroyers are playing a couple of shows down here and we happened to be walking by post-show as he came out the front door got into a city-provided golf cart and was whisked away.

George Thorogood’s childhood is about 3 miles from my house and I used to jog past it frequently. There’s a state historical marker there. The next door neighbors to that house have a giant Trump banner on their lawn that I consider pissing on or defacing with spray paint when I drive past it but reject that because it’s his property values he’s tanking.
