Wednesday night I watched Amare Stoudemire score 42 points as the Suns scored 140 and 141 on successive nights against the hapless Clippers.  It seemed that the Suns might have a chance to climb back into the playoff picture after all, as they returned to their trademark uptempo style after changing coaches.

I was pleased that the Suns decided to keep Amare rather than trading him.  Then we learned today that he underwent surgery this morning for a partially detached retina, and will be unable to resume physical activity for about 8 weeks.  Arrgggh!

We do wish Amare a full recovery and will be interested so see what the Suns can do without him for the rest of the season.

BBC News reported yesterday that police in the Irish Republic mistakenly established separate identities for over 50 individuals named Prawo Jazdy, seemingly a notoriously illusive violator of traffic laws, before anyone realized that “Prawo Jazdy” means “Drivers License” in Polish!  Thanks to @rjhorniii for sharing the article reference on Twitter.
