Angel Reese was traded from the Chicago Sky to the Atlanta Dream. Creates a twin towers situation with Brittney Griner. Atlanta gave up a staggering TWO first round draft picks for Reese. The city rejoiced in the news, as if she were the second coming of Michael Vick. She probably is. Perhaps Angel will have an impact on attendance.
Evidently Angel had burned bridges in the Windy City, and the trade wasn't unexpected. So why give up two number ones?
I learned about the trade when I went looking for the Dream's upcoming schedule. They'll be playing Caitlin Clark's Indiana Fever in State Farm Arena. Want to go? Man, the cheapest Dream tickets start at like $70. Goodness.
The Gamecocks lost the national championship game. Women's basketball used to be a different brand of basketball than the men's game. More passing. More movement without the ball. Working to get an open shot. Sadly, nowadays the women's game is much worse. The women beat each other up inside, especially in the WNBA. It's the survival of the biggest. Instead of taking advantage of the resurgence in popularity over the past year of two, the women's game continues to receive bad press.

It's Masters week, so I'm seeing lots of interesting articles.
Brookgreen Gardens is just southeast of Murrell's Inlet, just north of Litchfield Beach. Might have to visit the next time we're at Pawley's Island. What I'm doing these days instead of watching woman's basketball.
Saw Rick Ross on Celebrity Wheel of Fortune. He mentioned that he hosts an annual car show at his house, the spread he bought from Evander Holyfield. I looked it up - it's a big deal. Probably not my thing. Tickets are pricey, though they find a charity. I noticed Ross named the property The Promised Land. I was learning this while studying Joseph's story in Genesis, where as Pharoh's lieutenant was able to save his family from famine. Joseph's elderly father was happy to be reunited with his long lost son - but still chose to be buried back in the land of his fathers - the true promised land.
Cars I like, in no particular order: Ford Ranger, Bronco, F150, and Raptor. Teslas, Honda's CRV, Passport, Pilot, and Ridgeline pickup. Toyota's RAV4, Highlander, Prius, and 4Runner. Nissan Frontier. Jeep Ricon. Subaru Crosstek and Forrester.
Denison on using AI to form opinions: "When we delegate our thinking to machines, we become like them. We stop doing the hard work of seeking to understand the world and our place in it. We outsource the procurement of information to the apps on our phones. We lose what it means to be made in the image of God—the feeling, relating personally by which we love our Lord and our neighbor as our purpose in the world."
