#booksky I listened on audiobook. The narrator did a solid job. She has a British accent, but it didn't make it harder to understand. This is a detective type book, but the detective is a really smart 12 year-old girl. It has the laugh to yourself quietly type humor. Recommended.

#Seahawks At this point, it seems that Trey Lance should be a cheap option as a backup QB. I would like to see the Seahawks sign him to compete with Howell. The Hawks should ensure they have the best option available that can grow behind Geno.

#booksky Recent Reads: Blood and Thunder: An Epic of the American West by Hampton Sides. A history of the American SW. I learned about aspects of the Mexican War and Civil War I didn't know. The history moved along quickly, but with human interest to make it interesting even for a fiction reader.

#booksky My recent reads: The Final Solution by Michael Chabon - Under 200 pages -Book club choice. I found it a bit hard to follow and not a rewarding read. Spotted Horses by William Faulkner - I've heard of the author, so I tried a short book by him. It was interesting, but not very fun.

#NFL #Seahawks If you could guarantee that by trading your first round pick, your team would have a good enough record to get into the playoffs that year, would you make the trade? If the answer is no, at what round should you take the trade?

#Seahawks #NFL Can the Steelers have provided a model for getting compensatory picks by signing QBs to one-year contracts as a backup? The team would have to do it in a year they don't expect to earn compensatory picks. Then not go heavy in FA the next year to keep the picks.

Yep. I bet you need to click on it to see it in full, but it's a good Non Sequitur for this year.

#NFL Is the floor of a (functional, no big cap hit) player's trade value set by the compensatory pick that the team would get if the player was paid well in FA? With DK, it seems the Seahawks would be silly to trade for anything less than the highest compensatory level for 2026 (2026 3rd?).

It is nutty that Trump's Exec Order lead me to ask my stepson if his dad was a U.S. citizen when my stepson was born. I have since learned the EO only affects those born 30 days from the EO and into the future, but the fact that I had to question whether my stepson is a US Citizen is insane.
