The mighty Ethereal burst onto the scene 25 years ago in the Queensland Oaks 💙🤍

A 6 month old, endangered, Shy Albatross found himself a long way from home recently, and was taken in by local legends, Mosswood Wildlife.
Unfortunately, the wind not strong enough to get him going today, but any albatross on course is a good one.
It's disturbing how many times Scottie has acted like a 15 handicap at a resort course with caddies this season
Or maybe it's just disturbing how many times 15 handicaps at resort courses with caddies act like Scottie

In 1972, a French enrichment plant noticed something weird in a shipment of uranium ore from Gabon.
The U-235 fraction was 0.7171% instead of the universal 0.7202%.
A 0.0031 delta doesn't sound like much, but in nuclear, it's significant.
Something had been "eating" U-235.
Starting in 2008, former professional gambler and EchoStar co-founder Charlie Ergen went all-in on wireless spectrum, betting that scarce wireless licenses would become more valuable over time and that he could either build a viable wireless business or force a strategic buyer to pay up in the future.
For years, his hand looked shaky as he faced massive risks including crushing debt, FCC buildout deadlines, repeated missed milestones, and near-bankruptcy pressure. Charlie didn't falter with the bluff of a lifetime.
Finally, after 18 years, the river card came through as $SATS monetized the spectrum in massive deals with AT&T and SpaceX, turning a long, painful, and highly leveraged $30 billion bet into a payoff north of $40 billion.
His persistence and self-belief is truly legendary.
@nickohern It IS so good, I think that I counted 11 different holes on my two visits.. 100m shorter or longer or firing at a green from the opposite direction, it's refreshing!!!
No doubt it will be busy so a smart way to spread the wear too??!!
Following continuous messages and calls on the 25 crop [current 2yo’s], here is data like a “league ladder” sorted by ROI of the entire crop sold.

Wayne Bennett has revealed the heartbreaking toll Jai Arrow’s MND diagnosis has taken on South Sydney, with the veteran coach admitting the Rabbitohs knew around a month ago the popular forward would never play again.
Bennett said Arrow underwent “every test in the world” before doctors confirmed the devastating diagnosis, with the former Maroons enforcer already showing signs of muscle deterioration.
“Of course it has rattled me,” Bennett told The Daily Telegraph.
“I see Jai standing there in front of me every day and I can see what’s happening to him. It’s so sad. We’re all hurting.”
Bennett praised Arrow’s toughness and determination throughout his career, insisting South Sydney will stand by him through his fight with MND.
“Jai won’t fight this alone. He knows that.”
“Jai Arrow just got there by sheer determination and hard work and he always put his body on the line for the team.”
The Rabbitohs coach also confirmed Arrow will remain involved around the club, attend training and travel with the team as Souths rally around one of their most respected players.

En 1973, ante un público que iba esperando "Harvest", Neil Young tocaba entero el disco "Tonight's the Night", que abre y cierra con la canción homónima. En los bises decía "ahora voy a tocar una que ya conocen". El público festejaba. Y entonces tocaba... "Tonight's the Night".
🇵🇪 A mayor in Peru just tasered his own advisor during an office demonstration.
Turns out the city had just purchased 150 Tasers for municipal police, and the mayor decided the best PR strategy was apparently “let’s test one on Arturo.”
