It is 63.3°F now but when I got up at 6:00 am it was a cool 53°F. For mid June that is really cold.
Cotton Nash had it before Big Dan and Billy Ray Lickert had it before Cotton. That was an era when 44 usually meant the best player on the team.
The 50's were a great time to be a boy and a baseball fan. I lived in Clearwater and within a 40 or 50 mile radius we had some of the greatest. Clearwater had the Phillies with Robin Roberts pitching, St Pete had the St Louis Cardinals with Stan the Man Musial, also had the Yankees with Mantle, Berra, Ford, etc. Over in Tampa you had the White Sox and Reds with Frankie Robinson, and "BigTed Klu" who had arms like a lumberjack. Lakeland had the Tigers with Al Kaline, Sarasota had the Red Sox with Ted Williams. Quite a time to be a kid. After school we would jump on our bikes and ride over to Jack Russell stadium to watch Spring Training where all of these super heroes would play in exhibition games.
Players were very fan friendly in those days. They would give you a baseball and an autograph with a smile. During batting practice an outfielder would tell us to back him up and if the ball was hit over his head we could run it down and keep it. I once had an army footlocker full of them. I collected sports magazines in those days and still have this Sports Illustrated Spring Training Issue with the Mick. We didn't have any money but were as happy as a boy could be. Who needed money when you had baseball in your back yard
Going through some of my old basketball magazines and found this one from 1961. Can you name the players on this team? Number 44 made All American and number 50 became a coach at UK. There were a lot of Kentuckians on this team.
There was a time when Adolph Rupp was the most respected coach in college basketball. Even in 1966, then the history revisionist took control. Here is a nice picture of him on the cover of Sports Illustrated. The story inside was one of the best ever written about him. Nothing but respect was in the article.
Morning to all.
Well, looks like me and little bit will hold the fort down next week. Wife and 2 boys are going to a church youth trip to Chicago. She already has our week planned out, typed and printed out. She's a dandy. Critter girl too. 8th grade this coming year. Doesn't want to play basketball anymore. Seems to be firm on that. And the band plays on.
Sawnee, man, good pictures. Coach was looking good. FCC.

Jeremiah 31:31-34 New International Version (NIV)
31 “The days are coming,” declares the Lord,
“when I will make a new covenant
with the people of Israel
and with the people of Judah.
32 It will not be like the covenant
I made with their ancestors
when I took them by the hand
to lead them out of Egypt,
because they broke my covenant,
though I was a husband toa]">[a] them,b]">[b]”
declares the Lord.
33 “This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel
after that time,” declares the Lord.
“I will put my law in their minds
and write it on their hearts.
I will be their God,
and they will be my people.
34 No longer will they teach their neighbor,
or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’
because they will all know me,
from the least of them to the greatest,”
declares the Lord.
“For I will forgive their wickedness
and will remember their sins no more.”

Thank you Don. I suppose with a little prodding, everything in the Bible rests in those 4 verses. For 14 years the only thing I could see in those verses was the old covenant and the new covenant. And surely both need to be understood. Trying to keep this from going very long, I'll just say that after 14 years I was given some insight. Within the old covenant God had a particular way of communicating with humankind. Within the New Covenant the way of communication from God to people, would dramatically change. One glaring example is the disciples. They didn't get who Jesus was under old covenant thinking even though they walked with him for 3 years. It wasn't until the fullness of the New covenant happened that they finally understood. OK, thanks for letting this pea-brained country boy get that out. FCC.

Time to take a cruise through the Galaxy. Have a GREAT weekend everybody!
Okay. I must agree with Ymmot. If 44 would have meant the best player then Ymmot would have been 44.
Take it to the bank!
That NS stallion is a gelding. CSX did the operation!
I hear ya. After a pin prick I have to weigh whether or not to go to the Emergency Room.
They're watching us...all of us!
The only consolation is the fact that the people who know everything about us have people who know everything about them as well.
What a day. I've been in meetings with lawyers half the day. Another half hour of this and I'm going to need a lawyer.
I hope all the D-Leaguers are easing into Father's Day weekend. I'll get to see two out of three kids, so I'm luckier than some, and maybe than I'll be in a few years as my kids get fully out into the world.

I saw a story today, it says they may have found the Snoopy module from Apollo 10 from back in 1969! They have just been searching for it for 8 years!
Mowed the grass today but didn't feel the need to weed eat. Afterward I sat in the workshop and had a cold beer. Didn't even turn the lights or the music on. Went in the house and started watching golf. Been doing that ever since. Whew. Gotta pace myself.
Checking in!Good morning from ATX. Currently 73°F, clear and expecting 92°F for a high today.
Bunch of us in this thread served.
We'll check back later. Y'all behave.
Dja go ta Oxford?
Then never go to a DNC convention, there's a prick around every corner.
Sure did, clear through to the 8th grade. It was a long 3 years but they learned me how to cypher.
Next door neighbor's tree in the back alley fell down and took out the power line. Big damn tree too. Damaged his privacy fence and garage. This is the second time. I've had to take out 9 trees since we've owned this house and 4 of them were in the common way. Technically it's not part of our property but we're responsible for the maintenance.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 76°F. Expecting mid to-upper 90s later today. Hot. Humid. Ugh.
We'll check back later. Y'all behave.
