915. Mudd's Women (1966) We get to meet Harry Mudd who is one of the most fun characters in the Trek universe. It's pretty obvious that he is a space pimp right down to his hat. The episode deals w/the attractiveness & how women have to make themselves beautiful for society and to attract men.

918. Choose to Live (2021) The episode tries to cover three plots and muddles itself. Burnham looks for a murderer, Stamets goes to Ni'var to solve another apocalyptic mystery, and Book's grief over the destruction of his planet.

On this day in 2012, Gary Carter passed away at the age of 57. I really miss that golden smile of his. This painting was done for the Baseball Assistance Team to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Mets’ inaugural season.

919. Among the Lotus Eaters (2023) The episode is difficult to watch because of the repeated high pitch ringing throughout the adventure. Apparently, it blew out some hearing aids, caused migraines, and hurt others with hearing sensitivities. It became quite annoying to others without those issues.

I worry there is going to be violence soon if the Dems don't get their act together. People feel helpless and will lash out whether it's against Tesla or Musk or the GOP. I am seeing more Luigi references online as of late.

Mickey Stanley was one of the finest defensive centerfielders in baseball. He played shortstop replacing the light-hitting Ray Oyler in the 1968 World Series. This allowed the Tigers to play Al Kaline in right, Jim Northrup in center, and Willie Horton in left.

Ray Oyler batted .135 in the 1968 season. So, the Tigers benched him in the World Series.
