I wrote a feature about how seriously NBA refs study to perfect their craft, and how conspiracy theories about ulterior motives are largely groundless. 

Two of the experienced refs I spoke to in the column, Marc Davis (20+ years) and John Goble (10+), are featured in the photographs above, getting yelled at by Draymond and LeBron.

Lemonade stand robber on the run; DNA could help track him

MONROE, N.C. (AP) — Authorities say a teenager who held up a North Carolina lemonade stand for $17 is still at large. They're hoping to track him down through surveillance footage

MONROE, N.C. (AP) — Authorities say a teenager who held up a North Carolina lemonade stand for $17 is still at large. They’re hoping to track him down through surveillance footage and possible DNA and fingerprint tests.

Union County Sheriff’s Office Spokesman Tony Underwood said Monday that investigators are still looking for the suspect, who the 9-year-old lemonade vendor said pointed a black gun at him and took his cash box.

Underwood says deputies have asked neighbors to check their home cameras for clues. He says a camouflage hat and BB pistol found nearby may be checked for fingerprints and DNA.

The stickup happened Saturday steps from the boy’s home in Monroe, about 30 miles (50 kilometers) southeast of Charlotte.

Neighbor Kelly Smith says the boy opened his stand at the neighborhood pool Sunday.

ive ripped three pairs of jeans in the last two months. a quip about aging is low-hanging fruit, but most of the ppl I love on tumblr are older me and a really smart woman once adroitly pointed out to me that every time you make the “gosh, I feel old” jest there’s always someone older than you in your timeline and you just made them feel awful.

mainly, I just wanna complain that I sew slowly as the specter of my home ec teacher smirks (she was lovely).

while bending down to pick up dog poop today, my jeans ripped in the perineum—known colloquially as grundle—area. it marks the second time this week my jeans have ripped while I was contorting to pick up dog poo.

On Wednesday I spent three dollars on a hot dog bun and 12 oz. water from a street vendor across from Fifth Avenue on 47th St. I also spent $4.50 at a confusing storefront a block from my pad in the burbs where I once had passport photos taken. The proprietor has a couple of Dell desktops and charges 50 cents a page to print, plus $2.00 for “computer time,” as he told me. This is what I spent my last bit of savings on after getting laid off.
