For the first 5 years of his new contract, Juan Soto is making $60,000,000/year. If he plays 150 games/year and bats 4 times/game -> $100,000 per at bat. Feels like a jump-the-shark moment. #baseball #mets #yankees #soto

With all due respect to Steven Wright ... I lost my #Apple #AirTag The Find My app points to the corner of a square closet with many jackets, sweaters and pants. Lots of pockets to search. And all the clothing bunched together muffles most of the sound. Ugh.
