From Distance: Vlogging Kawhi to the Clippers
2019-07-06four point play….
1. I wanted to wait for Leonard’s decision before From Distancing it up this week. Boy, am I glad I did.
2. The Clippers got the job done late last night, signing Kawhi Leonard and acquiring Paul George via trade.
Wow.
3. I give my initial reactions to the NBA landscape altering event in this week’s Vlog.
4. What do you think? If you had to rank the fortunes of the teams involved, who would you have on top?
BUCKAROO—CHUCK TAYLORS/ PETE MARAVICH FLOPPY SOCKS / PLAIN WHITE / WRIST BANDS
outstanding 60s-early 70s fashion statement my man
A team entirely drafted by the Cavs
NOMAD bro.. chuck taylor’s or jack purcells? or keds?
high-tops or low-tops? (don’t think JPs came in high-tops though)
white socks with stripes or no stripes?
You’re really getting your paint brush out, with all these questions for Nomad…
FOR THOSE OF US WHO WERE AROUND AND CAN STILL REMEMBER : )——-WHERE WERE YOU / WHAT WERE YOU DOING WHEN WE LANDED ON THE MOON ………………………..FOR ME IT WAS JUST GETTING DONE / HOME FROM BASKETBALL OPEN GYM / HAD MOST OF THE PLAYERS OVER TO MY HOUSE / WATCHED ON OUR BLACK AND WHITE T.V. / SET OF FIREWORKS AFTERWARDS —HAD A ” SANDLOT ‘ SLEEPOVER GAZING / FANTASIZING / TALKING ABOUT THE MOON —WHAT JUST HAPPENED AND YES …………” MORE BEER PLEASE ” : )

Yeah if you’ve ever seen one of the Mercury or Gemini capsules up close it really puts things into perspective as far and how small they were. Crazy to think people rode those into orbit. I mean the Atlas and Titan rockets for Mercury and Gemini were basically converted ballistic missiles which is insane to think about.
I also like to think about what it must have been like for people born in the 1890s or pre-1905. To go from pre-atmospheric flight to walking on the moon. Horse and carriage to cars becoming common. Telegraph to commercial telephone networks and TV broadcast. Must have been mind boggling for anyone that lived through those transitions. Internet and cloning are probably the things that compare in my life. But I do wonder in my life if there is a jump that would be as mind blowing. Maybe human flight to mars, a colony on the moon, true AI. Discovering… Read more »
Was watching at my grandma’s house…we lived in Columbus at the time, but our entire family was at my grandma’s in western Ohio. I barely, but distinctly, remember it, even though I was 3 and change at the time.
Not born yet.
Close, but not quite.
