Day 773

• For the third time this postseason, PETA protestors have tried to stop an NBA playoff game involving the Timberwolves.
• The fact that their owner had to put down millions of chickens with the avian flu in farms his company owns is the situation.
• And let's make zero mistake about this right now:  PETA and it's supporters would rather see a meat-wipeout situation of the absolute elimination of all foodstock meat due to avian flu and similar than the disease be dealt with.  They believe the multi-state avian flu outbreak is a signal to force the American population off of meat -- VIOLENTLY IF NEED BE!  There are far more reasonable vegans out there (Tara Strong being one), but, being an old ex-Wisconsinite myself, I take, more the Shawn Michaels approach that the humane and controlled use of animals for meat also allows for the flourishing of those who remain.    
• It appears Coach K's retirement is leading to an exodus:  At least FOUR Duke Blue Devils have declared for the 2022 NBA Draft.
• There is already taunting of one of the Cleveland Guardian outfielders in today's series finale between the Yankees and Guardians.  Security has been increased, and, if you access MLB.com, the game is available to watch for free.  The Yankees are trying to keep their fans happy with an early offensive outburst.
