Eddington number. Looks like I'm at 34 for the year, but 50 for all of Strava time, which goes back to 2014 for me.

Yes, you don't get that 'extra' protection with the vaccine, but also, you don't die.

Star Trek premiered on this day in 1966. I was a young, impressionable lad of 8, and I was hooked!

No, the Salt Monster. The green slave girl was the first pilot, which was incorporated into a 2-part episode in the first season and set 15 years earlier. The studio, or maybe the network, thought it was too cerebral and asked for something more action-packed, so they shot a SECOND pilot, this time with Kirk as Captain instead of Chris Pike and Spock as First Officer instead of Majel Barrett's 'Number One', because the same clowns didn't like the idea of a female First Officer.
And somewhere between the pilot episodes and the series itself, the uniform for women changed from a cowl-necked top and black trousers to the minidress and high boots.

And everyone, in every era, expected flying cars. Nobody seemed to realize that would mean all the problems of street traffic, but in 3 dimensions.

Ohh - I didn't notice the yearly number in the chart. Looks like I'm currently at 37 and I've been around 40 each of the four previous years, so par for the course.

2. Not particularly, but high school ball is not nearly as sophisticated as college or pros. There are typically one or two really good running backs and one or two good receivers on a team, so it wasn't hard to learn a team's play patterns. Add to that some really fast camera equipment designed for sports. It wasn't like shooting with a cell phone.

My eddington number is 62. Now, what do I do with that? Anything?
Thought so.

Been to a bunch of crawfish and shrimp boils, crab bakes, fish fries, etc., but never a fish boil. Doesn't sound too good. Maybe reason enough to continue to avoid Wisconsin.

- You need 2 more days (of 90 miles or more) to achieve an Eddington number of 90
- You need 43 more days (of 100 miles or more) to achieve an Eddington number of 100
