Thank heaven for science:
Do Lefties Have an Advantage in Sports? It Depends
The CW is that lefties have an advantage in many sports, generally because of an oddity value (both lefties and righties normally face righties, so in a lefty-righty showdown only the righty is making adjustments). But what does science say?
Violins, cameras, school desks, computer mouses, can openers — these are just a few items that demonstrate how routinely disadvantaged left-handers are in this world.
One notable exception may be sports. Whether it’s Lou Gehrig in baseball, Wayne Gretzky in ice hockey, Martina Navratilova in tennis or Oscar De La Hoya in boxing, some of the best athletes in history have been portsiders.
But even in this realm, the southpaw advantage may vary, being more pronounced in sports where a player has less time to react to an opponent, like table tennis, according to Florian Loffing, a sports scientist at the University of Oldenburg in Germany and author of a study published Wednesday in Biology Letters. In such games, he found a higher proportion of lefties than in those with longer intervals between players’ actions.
Hmm. Reaction time? I am anticipating a minefield since I read many years ago that left-handed bowlers have an advantage (The righties are overlapping each other's paths in the oil coating the lane but the lefty generally has the left side to himself, enhancing predictability and consistency). However, as in other sports lefties have equipment issues in bowling (left-handed bowling shoes? Who knew?)
And here we go!
This “nurture” idea is supported by studies that have found a higher incidence of left-handers in professional interactive sports compared with the general population, but not in non-interactive ones like darts, bowling or golf.
Golf? C'mon - how many people will choose to find the special equipment and coaching for an athletic ten year old lefty who wants to try golf? Teach 'em righty! And I recall reading about southpaw baseball players who golf righty saying that having the stronger arm in the lead provides an edge. I don't golf, so what do I know?
As to bowling, lefties may not be over-represented in the overall bowling population among college students, as per the cited study but they are over-represented in the top ranks of bowlers.
Geez - send better Fake News.

I played soccer in college, and was recruited to punt and kick on the football team.
The HEAD coach saw me punting and kicking field goals with both legs. He said he'd never seen an ambidextrous field goal kicker. Apparently soccer was FOREIGN to him. I kicked right footed in games. I throw darts lefty, I shoot a basketball lefty, I shoot a gun ABSOLUTELY righty. In soccer, it didn't matter, I was a center forward, so which ever foot could put the ball in the back of the net, was the one I used.
Heh!

Back in my day in DC, Joe Barton was a chief member of the Energy committee (1987-1992). Energy was in my portfolio and I attended many a hearing, many a PAC reception, many an away weekend to play golf, cards, drink and give money.
Hey its a job. Never saw any of that in Joe. In fact, I have never seen any of that in any member but staff is another story. I guess I lived a secular and blind life.
I believe Joe is from the same part of Texas that Jeff Dobbs is from.

Here is what I did this afternoon:
Spent HOURS attempting to find a friend of my son's who is best friends with the Indy prosecutor who maybe could speed up his release since he is to be let go with no bail. I think that guy might be in the witnes protection program. Finally I texted my daughter who was ALSO friends with him on Facebook, it turns out, so she sent him a message.
Son called back and I couldn't take the call because it required a credit card since he had used up his free 2 minutes. I did hear him say to keep trying the friend because they are so backed up he might be there all weekend.(Til Monday.)
I called the restaurant where he is now working and spoke to the manager. He asked me if Chris was in the hospital and so I broke down and told him no, jail. He said not to worry that his job was safe, and that he has known my son for 4 years and knows about his problems. (This is shameful to me that he didn't feel like he could tell me.) At least I won't worry about his job.
I will go to the car lot on Friday with my sister and get all of the stuff out of the car, so it doesn't get scrunched up when the poor thing is put in the car smasher for scrap.
And that's my day, except for doing laundry.

I read every one of the Tony Hillerman mysteries, which I found fascinating. This is a high compliment because I usually only read British mysteries.
I was especially interested in the Navajo traditions and religion, which seemed strange yet very mystical. I may check those out of the library to re-read.
The book on places from the books sounds interesting, I might look for that as well.

"The picture of the Cuyahoga River on fire that ended up in Time Magazine a month later- a truly arresting image showing flames leaping up from the water, completely engulfing a ship - was actually from a much more serious fire in November 1952. No picture of the ‘69 river fire is known to exist."

On the whole lefty versus righty thing:
I have an identical twin brother. He's a lefty, I'm a righty.
We used to run this jumping scam in college at house parties at I.U. in the '80's.
He can jump about 6 inches and not a 1/16 higher.
Jumping is big in Indiana 'cause of basketball and 1:30 AM jumping contests at house parties was all there was left to be done once the chicks had left and it was nothing but bros left waiting for the keg to run dry.
The most common jumping contest was trying to top your head on the ceiling.
My brother would get in first and lose a fiver and then a ten spot. Doubling down and faking desperation, he'd invite me, he's spitting image to participate. This always produced howls of laughter and an immediate taker plunking down an Andrew Jackson for the double.
I can, well... could, jump.
I'd get in the circle and jump.
On hung tile ceilings I'd just knock the tile out but plaster ceilings were hell. I've a few handsome looking scars on the top of my head from those.
$20 was a couple of cases of Pabst or Olympia back then and well worth the effort.
My take away from the whole thing is southpaws can't jump.

"That's some story Bub. You'd think the basic physical stuff would be more identical than anything else."
I always assumed it was technique. I am a little taller, he's a little broader. Pretty much the exact same weight though. He picked up weightlifting in the '90's and got built to a degree I couldn't come close to. This is when he lived in DC and preying upon interns by the way!
The boy just could never get off the floor though.
When I got to I.U. and started playing ball at the HPER, I had to leave my wingman behind.

"I have an identical twin brother. He's a lefty, I'm a righty."

We are 'mirror image' twins.
We were part of a study of twins my Mom signed us up for with I.U. when we were born until we were 12.
The peeps who could tell us apart were the ones that realized he parted his hair on the right and I parted on the mine on the left.
The guy is very artistic and I'm very much process oriented. I have no artistic bone in my body. He couldn't program if his life depended upon it.
I'm 56 and can still 'touch' the rim with a good run and the wind blowing in the right direction. I used to be able to get both wrists over without a good wind blowing. Though I'm wistful at this development this is much to the chagrin off my 13 year old boy as off this past Saturday afternoon.

We looked ELSEWHERE. Our PROM DATES kept standing us up and kept banging our enemies.
We looked ELSEWHERE.

It occurs to me that the Never Trump gang is much like the sexual predator democrat.
Both pretend to care about your cause, when in reality all they are looking to do is screw you.

God bless everyone with troubles and even those without (as far as they know, at the moment)--
and please those in the latter set to aid those in the former, and then may when everything reverses, may the formerly afflicted step up to the plate. We all know we will have our times of misery!

Kev,
Yes I saw it. I think the author stole about 75% of it from the guy I follow on Twitter, Thomas Wictor. @ThomasWictor
He has been pointing out the steps in this change for several months, probably since the Sword Dance.
No one in the foreign policy establishment, nor the democrats, nor the Never Trumpers get what's going on at all. I first noticed Melania apearing WITH the men at the Sword Dance dinner, hair uncovered. That was a big sign of change.
Wictor follows all of this stuff. He thinks the Saudis and Israelis are going after toppling the Iranian regime, but not by conventional methods.
There is a lot of stuff going on over there that simply doesn't get covered, or it gets covered as some simple business deal, when the events are really more significant.
Highly recommend following Wictor. He also writes about metaphysical subjects.
The events in the Middle East are why I don't worry about Mueller.

Lovely Miss Marple. I have NEVER been a REPUBLICAN. It is BECAUSE, I WAS a Democrat, that I have always refused to call myself a Republican.
The GOP....e....was obvious to me. When W.Bush is the standard bearer, when Mitt RoTney, John McStain, and Bob Dole are you A-TEAM of core Conservatism. I am not a REPUBLICAN.
"That's not who we are" Is a SUICIDE NOTE.
I'd rather that Republicans pointed out ABORTION, MORE ABORTION, scandal after scandal, generational dyfunction, family disintegration, keeping people in GOVT DEPENDENCE for 50 plus years, ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION......and DEMOCRATIC SLEAZE....AND SAY.....
"That's WHO THEY ARE".

On last nights legends the team went to Vietnam 1967, where gorilla grodd is causing trouble.
I saw the trailer for that while watching The Flash and was somewhat interested before opting for Bull, which I'm hooked on.
