Good morning from ATX. Currently 80°F. Guess we'll see yet another 100°F+ day later. Ugh. Our big dog, Summer, woke me up at 3:30 AM. Double Ugh.

We'll check back later. Behave.
 
If a person from Germany married a person form Maine and they had a child would it be Germain to the gene pool?

If Iran attacked Turkey from the rear, do you think Greece would help?

Woke up a little earlier than I intended to today but that's ok because I went to sleep earlier than I needed to.

Today is going to be a good day!

@UK_fan_41102 Thanks again for all the links! I don't have time to read them all this morning but I'll be on em this evening. Cam'Ron? What is wrong with people? Yeah, you named your special baby a special name because it's more special than any other special baby, but now your special one is going to have to deal with no one being able to pronounce or spell the special name for the rest of its special life. Well isn't that special.

Yes, Greece would be bringing up the rear as lubrication.
 
Good morning D League

Looking for a wet day according to the radio weather girl. Current temperature is 72° and the high will be 83° Rain 50%

Listening to the radio man and getting news on all of the crazies down state in the big cities. We sure have some doozies. Sometimes I think people come down here on vacation and leave their crazy uncle or their looney teenage girl and just go back home without them. So we have to put up with them.. We see some strange things around here. Going North on I 75 and all of a sudden here comes the "Batmobile" headed south on I 75. I am sure Wonder Woman is not far behind.

  • Good Morning, D-Leagueanites.
  • 72º in Johns Creek. IFR. Overcast.
  • QB is selling our stuff.
  • Happy Birthday if I missed anyone.
  • Have eaten most of those Southern dishes.
  • Dad loved Souse and Gizzards. I never could go for those two.
  • Tried Alligator Tail in Baton Rouge one time. It was awful. I couldn't get it chewed.
  • Glad Tom Leach is back. I like him.
  • My old fishing buddy had a raccoon encounter and got scratched in the deal. Had to take it to the Vet and put it down and send its head off to find out if it was rabid. Ymmot, you be careful dealing with those critters.
  • Y'all take care. Be careful.
  • Carry on. As you were.
 
I remember this well. My Mom was having knee surgery and ji was staying at my maternal grandparents for the week. Little did we know how this would trigger the events that changed the country in many ways.
I remember it too. I was still a kid in single digits but a big reader the newspaper and Time and Newsweek magazines -- a nerd in other words.

For whatever reason I have a clear memory of asking my 4th grade history teacher around late 65, early 66 why they called the guys Americans were fighting "Viet Cong." He said "because that area is known as the Congo." I was pretty sure that wasn't right. But it shows how ignorant even somewhat educated Americans were about Vietnam back about 1965-early 66.

In the Spring 1964 I needed a few non major credits so I signed up for a World Geography course. I picked it because I thought it would be easy and interesting. What should have been an easy course was made difficult by the professor but it was interesting He had a huge world map in the front of the class and one day he called out someone and ask them to find Vietnam on the map. Nobody had ever heard of Vietnam and after 5 or 6 students couldn't find it, he stopped his little game and said. "In a very short period of time Vietnam will be the hot spot of the world and everyone in this room will not only know about it many of you will go there". Boy he sure was a prophet.
