Tide would derive from gravity with the moon impacting that most here, magnetism within each mass.
There is great power in the movement of interstellar bodies. Having satellites orbiting gas giants generating power is something we'll probably not see in our lifetime but it'll happen.

I'm still riding high from back to back ACC victories. But one thing is still nagging at me:

WE HAVE TO LEARN TO SHOOT FRICKIN FREE THROWS.

Honestly, UVA shouldn't have been a nailbiter. It seems like we have been an awful free throw team going back to Seth Greenberg. What gives? Why are so so bad at something that should be so easy?

That moment VT has a better basketball record than wisconsin. I seriously never thought I'd see that moment especially in the two seasons I will have spent up there yet here we are. Watching the hokies last night we look like a different team from the games I watched earlier this season! We're fun to watch which is something I have never been able to say. Even during the greenberg "glory days" we were pretty predictable on offense with a great defense

Much like Annakin was born of the Force, so too was Rey by...LUKE! He thought it was just a bad batch of bantha tacos giving his stomach the business, but lo and behold out pops a micro Jedi master. Naturally the galactic paparazzi would have eaten this up and Luke would've never heard the end of it, so he ships her off to summer camp in Jakku and heads to the high hills for the next decade or two.

Great point on Luke - the entire rescue of Han was anti-Jedi. Han should have been given to Jabba due to his prior transgressions. None of Luke's actions were under the guise of peacekeeping, protecting the republic, fighting the dark side or anything else. It was purely a selfish, aggressive attack for personnel benefit - similar to what Anakin did to the Sandpeople. Damn I'm a nerd.

He reads three books from three genres, 3 chapters a day of each. Usually one is on leadership, one is about someone who thinks differently, and the last is happy sports related.

He has answered that questions at various times. I'm sure he changes it up but that was the gist the three times I've read his answer.

He's so much fun to watch and observe. My favorite anecdote to date was when he first came to Blacksburg he was working on memorizing the presidents. Because he thought that was something everyone should know. So he purposes himself to do it.

I love his transparency, humility, and encouragement with his coaching and team. The answer is never "this guys great because of his length and athleticism," but rather something along the lines of "I love this kid because he was raised right by his parents and will put in every last bit of talent into this program and getting better. He may not do the right thing but he will give his best effort"

We should be incredibly grateful for Whit and Buzz for this venture, I hope it is for the long haul.
