Tokyo is shutting down, due to 2400 new cases in one day in a population of over 9 million. New Jersey has 8 million people in a larger geographical area and over 5300 cases yesterday, which is worse than at any time during the entire pandemic. Yet, New Jersey has made no adjustments whatsoever...

If this were any truer, it would be axiomatic. The Rangers are basically a high school all-star team this year. I guess we'll see how it goes. (My hopes are not high, especially so long as they've got David Quinn coaching them. The guy's a nightmare. How did he get renewed for another season?)

My 2011 Fender American Standard Precision Bass, Blizzard Pearl, with Fender replacement PG in Pearl White:

I have a 2011 American Standard in that same color. It is, indeed, Blizzard Pearl. I changed out my pickguard and it looks amazing with white pearlescent MOTS. Cheap mod that makes a world of difference. Something to think about! Here's mine:
