Early In third period. Playing Pittsburgh Steelers.
Zeke Elliott: three carries in the game so far; eight yards.
Last week, ten carries (or may it was eight) -- but either way, a career low.

Word of the day: beeves. Plural of beef. I first came across this word in Prairie Man by Norman E. Matteoni, page 60.
The plural of words with a "trailing f" such as hoof, calf, wife get their plurals by converting the "trailing f" to "ves" as in "calf" to "calves."
The question, of course, is why is the plural of "roof" not "rooves." As usual, social media has the answer:
Missing, of course, is "beef" to "beeves" but you can follow the thread here. Pronunciation here (don't overthink this).
One might blow this off as an archaic term but this was the word used by the lawyer that authored Prairie Man, c. 2015.
This made my day. LOL.
The other day, Sophia was telling me that her teacher gave the students each a word with multiple meanings and the student to provide the multiple meanings: Sophia's word -- "season" and she immediately came up with three meanings of the word "season."
Another word with three meanings given to another student: "seal."
So, now, "beeves" is the plural of a specific "beef." I can think of three meanings of "beef."

Commodities: commercial vans, pickup trucks -- they can only compete on price. Period. Dot. Except perhaps Tesla. This is even worse that ICE sedans, pickup trucks, etc. where they, too, are pretty much commodities -- only able to compete on price -- the difference being loyalty, brand recognition, and 100 years of building a legacy.
Photoshoot: commodities.

Tesla Foundation Series
Quick: what's the Tesla Foundation Series?
Not much written on it.
Basically, $20,000 extra to get to the front of the line.
In our neighborhood, I generally see two Cybertrucks on the road daily. I assume they're the same ones I see every day. They really stand out.
And, those folks paid $20,000 extra just to be first in line.
And, wow, if you thought the F-350 was a big truck, the Cybertruck is a huge behemoth. Yes, it can fit in a standard parking space, but just barely and completely obstructs view of drivers parked alongside it.
Other than the "cool" factor, I don't see the attraction ....

Final CNBC interview / graphic just before the close: interview with Cathie Wood while showing this graphic:
Having said that, it was a must-see interview. Her top four AI choices, IIRC: xAI. META (Llama), GOOG (Gemini), and OpenAI -- I could be wrong on those, but I thought that's what she said. See this post.
What was the most interesting thing about this interview?
Answer: Microsoft's ChatBot was not even mentioned.

From an essay, "What The Ocean Holds," Verlyn Kllinkenborg, from current issue of The New York Review of Books, October 17, 2024. The books:
Jargon:
"some of the deepest ocean trenches -- called hadal trenches (after Hades) ..." p. 48.
"Saying the ocean is terribly big is like saying it's totally wet. It doesn't get you very far. So let's talk about the deep ocean, one thousand meters and below, in the zones called bathypelagic, abyssopelagic, and hadalpelagic -- the midnight zone, the abyssal zone, and the hadal zone. Together they add up to three quarters of the ocean's depth ... it is now estimated that Earth's biosphere is '95 percent deep ocean.'"
Wiki -- layers of the pelagic zone:
Pelagic birds:
Pelagic birds live on open seas and oceans rather than inland or around more restricted waters such as rivers and lakes. They feed on planktonic crustaceans, squid and hunt fish far from land.
