weekend diversion / Final Four edition

signs the apocalypse may be upon us
Among the bizarre elements of this AP story this week out of a kidney dialysis clinic in Kentucky: (a) that the pugilists were 68 and 71 years old; and (b) that the Associated Press used the euphemism “flipped off”.

You could look at the whole incident as an indication of how stressful it is to undergo dialysis, or how stressful it is for two college basketball Final Four being in such close proximity, or of the dangers of giving someone The Finger (to use another euphemism).

Or that we are hurtling towards hell in that handbasket. I’ve got no dog in this hunt, but it would be nice if somebody ends Kentucky’s season with a loss, real soon.
