Me too! I whole-heartedly agree with these sentiments. It seems maybe all living things contain that devine spirituality of sorts, they are our food and we share lives as part of the blessing of a living earth.

I hope all is well with the D-League crew. I just got back from a mini-vacation in Vermont. Really spectacular. We hit the fall foliage change perfectly. My wife and I hiked up to the peak of a small mountain outside Woodstock, Vermont and had a terrific time.
That said, I missed not only the football game but midnight madness. Spent some hours yesterday catching up. Sounds like the first impressions of the hoops team were -- as always -- very strong. We'll know a little more after the Blue-White game.
Happy Columbus Day, or as the useless city officials here in DC call it "Indigenous People's Day."
Did you know that two cities claim to have Columbus' remains? I've been the the tomb in Santo Domingo, DR, and also the one in Seville, Spain. It's a complicated story: https://lflank.wordpress.com/2018/08/21/where-is-columbus-buried/
As Columbus very clearly stated he wanted to be buried in the New World, I hope he's in the Dominican Republic.

Congrats to BKO! I have no doubt you'll spoil that baby like every good Grandmother does.
Good win last night for the Cats.
I've been really busy this week taking care of my Dad who had hip replacement surgery Wednesday. He's doing well but IMO a hospital is no place to rest. I slept on the couch in his Baptist East north tower room and maybe had an hour sleep both nights.
Somber note. We had to put our dog Chloe down Thursday. Liver failure. This happened way too fast and we weren't ready. I haven't kept up with the D so forgive me if I missed a big event from any of you wonderful people. Grieving to say the least. Special gal.
Sorry for your loss. It's hard to lose a member of the family, even though they have fur. But, glad your Dad's hip replacement went well. I may have to have one myself, maybe after Christmas.
Nice picture Rooster. Thanks. I love that basketball jersey. That to me is Kentucky blue and I love the KENTUCKY curved over the chest. Nice
I hate liking these kind of posts because of a loved one passing on. But, what a great looking family member!This is Cookie, the family dog we had to put down yesterday. She was a good dog. RIP.
We have been blessed with a gorgeous day down here so I decided to do a little "gardening". I planted a kumquat tree, transplanted a lemon tree, planted 5 cactus flowering plants, put down 3 bags of mulch and a croton plant. Now I am ready to relax.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 78°F and clear. Looking at a 92°F high and more beautiful rain + another cold front coming tonight. We'll take it.
Blue/White game this coming Friday, October 18. Be there.

Good morning D League
Enjoying a strong cup of coffee in the cool of the morning. Our temperature is 63° and we have clear skies. The high should reach 85°. As I do every morning I have the radio on a disturbing story of a 10 year old who met some man on something called snapchat. She agreed to "go out" with him and ended up at his house where he raped her. TEN YEARS old. Who is watching out for these kids and where he a rope when you need it?
Oh well, the law has him now so I am going to concentrate on some good news the rest of the day. There is a lot to be thankful for. Have a nice day all.

Today is the start of stone crab season. This is always one of the best seasons of the year. Remember if you are out there crabbing to only take one claw and throw the live crab back in the Gulf. The crab will grow another claw. This is my favorite seafood of all. Enjoy.
Good morning D league. Supposed to get up to 77 in suburban Ashland today, but it all changes overnight. They say we will wake up to rain in the morning, with a low tomorrow night of 35, so it will be our first frost. I hate cold weather. 
Almost forgot. Not sure what Ymmot's sentence was, but if it was 30 days, he may be back on here tomorrow, or Wednesday. Hopefully, we will see him posting again, in the next couple of days.
They sentenced me once to life. I made a new user name and re- registered
Good morning D, I have been up since 3 this morning, crazy thing is I woke up thinking about how I am going to get the part of my deck stained that is under my steps, I think I will just have to take the step part off and use a sprayer to get under there.
It's strange how things work out in life, We were at the O'boro mall yesterday and we ran into a couple we knew from Central City and he ask if I was retired and what I was doing? I told I was retired and any place I could find to metal detect I was enjoying that.He asked me if my detector would find a hearing aid? He said he lost a $3,000 hearing aid, I told him it would, so I am going to go hunt for it today. He said I'll pay you hunting it, just told him no that, that is the part I enjoy metal detecting. So wish me luck!
Congrats BKO, grandchildren are wonderful!!!
Sorry to hear about losing dogs, we went thru that a couple years ago, we will not do that again!!! We had a Beagle named Briar Patch, great dog. Was not vocal at all, the only time he barked was when the doorbell rang, even if it was on tv!
Ya'll have a great and safe day! Prayers for the D!

I woke up yesterday morning with a surprise frost. Went to get in my car for work, and I had to scrape the windshield. I was prepared this morning though.Good morning D league.

That is my second best sea food; second only to scallops.Today is the start of stone crab season. This is always one of the best seasons of the year.

It is 52.7°F and cloudy. I got my yard tilled yesterday afternoon and I would like to get the seed on and rolled in before a rain. Here is hoping, for once, that we do not get rain today.
BKO is loving on that grand baby and is totally ignoring her D-League buddies. We got her this far and now she forgets us!

Good morning D-League. Cool and clear in the east. One of those days where I feel a cold coming on, but it isn't strong enough to justify missing work during a busy time.
Which leads me to today's outrage: We have a robust medical kit in a little alcove down the hall which has, among other things, generic aspirin, ibuprofen and acetaminophen.
Or had. I went there for a couple pills to fight off a headache and it had all been removed. When I checked with the office manager I was told it was a company edict to avoid "pill abuse." We'd had access to those benign, non-addictive and cheap medicines for six years. Now some nerd safety officer has decided to misuse his tiny amount of authority and take them away. Of course, I can just go down to the CVS and buy some, which I will during lunch hour. But for now I have a throbbing headache and a chapped azz over the stupidity of it.

Lol sorry Mdcat. As a former addict I can assure your misinformed safety officer that pills in a first aid kit are 100% harmless. Hell if I wouldve stuck with those I wouldve been fine.
That really is beyond stupid. It amazes me that addiction is still so misunderstood by most people like the safety officer in your office.

That's a tough pill to swallow alright.
Good Morning D
You should have posted that information in pig latin, in case a mod saw it and wants to seek revenge.
Scallops are our favorite, too. We had some in Hawaii that were 2 inches in diameter and an inch thick. They were broiled to perfection, at a restaurant called Lahaina Fish and Steak. Nothing better than sitting out over the ocean, watching the sun set and eating great scallops.
You're probably right. It was years ago
Scallops are one of the most bountiful things we get out of the local waters. Scallop season starts in July. The local stone crabs are a nice size., for example. Those claws put out some of the most succulent sweet meat of any crab,
Hey Ace I would have loved to have read what your explosive post contained. Now that was awesome. Glad you out smarted them. I enjoy reading your post!
Since everyone goes off the deep end every now and then, Mods should use the 3 strike rule before banning someone.
You know what? I can't even remember, it's been so long ago. lmao
Some morning humor for our first day of the week:
KULULA AIRLINES.
Enjoy; note the comments at the end Kulula is a low-cost South-African airline that doesn't take itself too seriously
WHAT A PITY KULULA DOESN'T FLY INTERNATIONALLY -- WE SHOULD SUPPORT THEM IF ONLY FOR THEIR HUMOUR:
On a Kulula flight , (there is no assigned seating, you just sit where you want), passengers were apparently having a hard time choosing, when a flight attendant announced, "People, people , we're not picking out furniture here, find a seat and get in it!"
---o0o---
On another flight with a very "senior" flight attendant crew, the pilot said, "Ladies and gentlemen, we've reached cruising altitude and will be turning down the cabin lights. This is for your comfort and to enhance the appearance of your flight attendants."
----o0o---
On landing , the stewardess said, "Please be sure to take all of your belongings. If you're going to leave anything, please make sure it's something we'd like to have."
----o0o---
" There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but there are only 4 ways out of this airplane."
---o0o---
"Thank you for flying Kulula . We hope you enjoyed giving us the business as much as we enjoyed taking you for a ride."
---o0o---
As the plane landed and was coming to a stop at Durban Airport, a lone voice came over the loudspeaker: "Whoa, big fella. WHOA!"
---o0o--
After a particularly rough landing during thunderstorms in the Karoo, a flight attendant on a flight announced, "Please take care when opening the overhead compartments because, after a landing like that, sure as heck everything has shifted."
---o0o---
From a Kulula employee: "Welcome aboard Kulula 27 1 to Port Elizabeth. To operate your seat belt, insert the metal tab into the buckle, and pull tight. It works just like every other seat belt; and, if you don't know how to operate one, you probably shouldn't be out in public unsupervised."
---o0o---
"In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face. If you have a small child travelling with you, secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you are traveling with more than one small child, pick your favorite."
---o0o---
" Weather at our destination is 50 degrees with some broken clouds, but we'll try to have them fixed before we arrive. Thank you, and remember, nobody loves you, or your money, more than Kulula Airlines."
----o0o---
" Your seat cushions can be used for flotation; and in the event of an emergency water landing, please paddle to shore and take them with our compliments."
---o0o---
" As you exit the plane , make sure to gather all of your belongings. Anything left behind will be distributed evenly among the flight attendants. Please do not leave children or spouses."
---o0o---
And from the pilot during his welcome message:"Kulula Airlines is pleased to announce that we have some of the best flight attendants in the industry. Unfortunately, none of them are on this flight!"
---o0o--”
Heard on Kulula 255 just after a very hard landing in Cape Town: The flight attendant came on the intercom and said, "That was quite a bump and I know what y'all are thinking. I'm here to tell you it wasn't the airline's fault, it wasn't the pilot's fault, it wasn't the flight attendant's fault, it was the asphalt."
---o0o--”
Overheard on a Kulula flight into Cape Town, on a particularly windy and bumpy day: During the final approach, the Captain really had to fight it. After an extremely hard landing, the Flight Attendant said,"Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to The Mother City. Please remain in your seats with your seat belts fastened while the Captain taxis what's left of our airplane to the gate!"
---o0o--”
Another flight attendant's comment on a less than perfect landing: "We ask you to please remain seated as Captain Kangaroo bounces us to the terminal."
---o0o--”
An airline pilot wrote that on this particular flight he had hammered his ship into the runway really hard. The airline had a policy which required the first officer to stand at the door while the passengers exited, smile, and give them a "Thanks for flying our airline". He said that, in light of his bad landing, he had a hard time looking the passengers in the eye, thinking that someone would have a smart comment.
Finally everyone had got off except for a little old lady walking with a cane. She said, "Sir, do you mind if I ask you a question?" "Why, no Ma'am," said the pilot. "What is it?" The little old lady said, "Did we land, or were we shot down? ”

I had a couple of days ban once when many posters wondered why since the one I was banned for had posted far worse about me than I did him and he was still there so, they shortened my ban.
I never had pizza until I was 18 years old and away from small-town Kentucky. I had never even heard of it until my now-wife introduced it to me. A pie made out of cheese and meat? Ewwwww. I soon got over it of course.
I got banned for a week once for joking about UK players playing basketball with no shoes on. Just a lighthearted joke with no profanity or venom toward anyone.
