Too bad, so sad, David, you decided to follow your relatives' sleazy footsteps instead of going into honest work.
No sympathy for you.

Civilization has indeed hit rock bottom, I am afraid:

Former Republican Majority Leader Tom DeLay will join 15 celebrities from the worlds of entertainment and sports in kicking up their heels on the new season of “Dancing With the Stars.

Here is more about the would-be successor to Fred Astaire:

DeLay, while he's not dancing, is trying to get criminal charges against him dismissed. The Houston-area Republican insists that the political corruption charges against him were drummed up by a partisan Democratic prosecutor.

In other words, fancy footwork he displays on Dancing With the Stars could benefit him in his legal troubles.

More girls than ever before are participating in sports, and injuries, especially knee injuries, are dramatically increasing:

Girls and boys diverge in their physical abilities as they enter puberty and move through adolescence. Higher levels of testosterone allow boys to add muscle and, even without much effort on their part, get stronger. In turn, they become less flexible. Girls, as their estrogen levels increase, tend to add fat rather than muscle. They must train rigorously to get significantly stronger. The influence of estrogen makes girls’ ligaments lax, and they outperform boys in tests of overall body flexibility — a performance advantage in many sports, but also an injury risk when not accompanied by sufficient muscle to keep joints in stable, safe positions. Girls tend to run differently than boys — in a less-flexed, more-upright posture — which may put them at greater risk when changing directions and landing from jumps. Because of their wider hips, they are more likely to be knock-kneed — yet another suspected risk factor.

I was correct some scenes of the 1961 film The Misfits were shot just east of Dayton, Nevada, as well as in Dayton, Reno, and other areas of northern Nevada.

There is an area near Dayton with dry lakes, and when we drove by there on the way back to Reno from Utah and Arizona last June, I wondered out loud if this is where the crew shot the airplane and roundup scenes of the film. Indeed it's so, and the area is known as "Misfit Flats."
