Illness on the trail was every family worst nightmare The most dreaded disease was cholera which killed healthy adults within days of the onset of symptoms and spread quickly through wagon trains In communities with doctors and adequate medical supplies, families would witness friends and neighbours pass away from illnesses that could have been prevented.

“Since medical assistance was frequently hundreds of miles away, and folk remedies had to be used in place of professional medical care. Illness on the trail was every family worst nightmare The most dreaded disease was cholera which killed healthy adults within days of the onset of symptoms and spread quickly through wagon trains In communities with doctors and adequate medical supplies, families would witness friends and neighbours pass away from illnesses that could have been prevented. From injuries from falls, animal kicks, or mishaps with cooking fires and tools to digestive issues brought on by changes in diet and water. Children were especially susceptible to the health hazards of trail life. As a result of necessity, parents learned how to treat wounds, set broken bones, and distinguish between symptoms that needed to be treated right away and those that could be handled with rest and simple cures. When replacement parts weren't …”

“That will bring us to the final game of the day. The Portland Trail Blazers just got okay seed, simple as that, 124-95, they're still without Holiday, Grant, Scoot, Matisse-Thibeault, Denny Avdia was fine, bad field goals, good free throws, sometimes you get good field goals, bad free throws, he's been incredibly good over this stretch of time, but I do think that when players return, you're going to see some of the production pull back, which makes sense. 17-7-7 for Avdia, Sidney Sissoko, 19 with five threes, 70% …”

That's great, he's been on a really strong run, with Holiday, Grant, Scoot, Thibeault all out. I don't think it's got any shot of being able to hold when at least Jeremy Grant …”

Not only do they own the Bucks future picks, but they just handed control of the team to Tom Dundon. We just watched Matt Ishbia completely gut a fun finals contender for Kevin Durant.

And he's basically worried that this new owner is going to get new owner syndrome right away. trade all their assets for Giannis to go with Drew Holiday, Dame, Giannis, Denny Abdiah, and whatever else. So they can swap picks with Milwaukee in 28. They have their 29 pick, and they can swap again with them in 2030. I do feel like this is the stealth Giannis destination now. It's a fascinating test of your market theory. You advanced this in the last 10 days or so around what is the market for Giannis? What will Giannis fetch in …”
