Day 392

• The slog is going well, almost a day after the first shot.  Tired, pain at the site, nothing much else.  Posts, etc., will come as energy, etc. permit.
• There does appear to be some serious discussion of boycotting the Beijing (2022 Winter) Olympics by the Biden Administration.  Both Biden himself and the State Department have announced, in the last couple of days, that they are open to discussing it.

• It appears as if the Dodgers' Trevor Bauer was one of the first to get at least a look at the baseballs under new enforcement policies on substances on the baseball -- several balls from his game on Wednesday in Oakland were confiscated.
