New Game For Light Exercise: Bucket-Disk...
Set up buckets with openings facing each other 15 feet apart. Stake bucket handles so goals don't move. Stand behind your bucket and toss at the other bucket. Teams take turns, 1 throw each. First 20 duckets wins. Disk must be more than halfway in the bucket to count a ducket.
Teams toss at one bucket to see who goes first. Closest to bucket OR most duckets goes first.
Lose two duckets for your team if you hit another player, or physically get in front of your bucket while the other team is throwing. (Off-sides rule; throwing team must declare a throw starting and do a 5-count to let other players clear the target bucket. IE: "THROW-2-3-4-5")
Advanced rules: Get a 2nd disk. The off-turn team may attempt to throw a block at the throwing team's disk AFTER it has left the thrower's hand. Next person up on the off-turn team is also the blocking disk thrower. Lose a ducket for your team if you throw your block before the disk leaves the thrower's hand.
Skips off the ground still count as a ducket if the disk goes all the way into the bucket.
You get a very satisfying "THUNK" sound when the disk bounces off the back of the bucket.
It's very easy to pack up and carry to the park or the beach.
Let fly!

FOOD FOR THOUGHT FOOD + FARMING FROM TOM PHILPOTT | |||
THE MAIN DISH The Scary Truth About China's Hog Farms Since the dawn of the Great Recession, Americans have been eating less meat, including pork. Yet in Iowa, by far the nation's leading hog-producing state, there's been a recent boom in state-issued permits for new factory-scale hog confinements. Why would the meat industry be investing so heavily in new hog capacity if the economics aren't working out? The answer is that the industry is looking toward a boom in pork exports—and our biggest customer may soon be China. To read about what all this means for the US pork industry—plus China's frightening plans to convert all of its family-run hog farms into US-style factory farms, click here. [READ MORE]
