Do you remember in "It's a Wonderful Life" when Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed fell into a pool hidden underneath a retractable gym floor? Here's the scene to refresh your memory.

This is an almost shockingly wise essay. I'm glad I've finally read it.

The week ahead: The Pittsburgh Penguins just had a baffling, insane week. How will they bounce back? Are they an overachieving bad team? A broken good team lost in their own heads? How will they play this week?? www.pensburgh.com/analysis/703...
The week ahead: How will the Penguins bounce back from a baffling, insane week?
It is hard to even describe the week the Pittsburgh Penguins just had. They were in position to win. Then did not.

“The Little Movie That Couldn’t”: ‘Mallrats’ Turns 30
In the fall of 1995, Kevin Smith’s second film was a box office humiliation. Now, it’s become an embarrassment of riches. We chat with Smith about the movie and how it forever altered his career.

This is a 100% True Story, based on me and STAR WARS: LEGION, by the way. I had dozens of expansions for it, until it became overwhelming.
I still have the starter set, btw, and may just paint it up.

Just look at photojournalist Linda Tirado (killermartinis here, though I'm not tagging her in), shot in the facce by a pepper round in 2020 while covering the George Floyd demonstrations in MPLS.
She not only lost her eye, but suffered brain damage which will be fatal to her (she's in hospice now).

A journalist shot by police while covering the 2020 protests is dying of her injuries
Linda Tirado, 42, lost her eye and suffered a brain injury after being shot by Minneapolis police in 2020. The National Press Club said she developed dementia as a result and "is at life's end."

Fabulous 3 points off a good team. And a 3rd clean sheet in 5 games. Sometimes laboured in the second half and there were moments of luck but there were moments of class, everyone worked hard and the subs brought new energy and shored it up and overall a deserved victory. #COYS
