Good customer service is basically non-existent anymore Ben. I don't know which Kroger's in Ashland it was, but customer service at the Midtown Kroger has really went downhill in the last year or 2 imo.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 28°F with occasional icy rain here in Austin. Clearing later with a high of 61°F. Apparently, I brought the cold weather with me.
I made it back. Snow all the way in TN until about MM 170 on I-40 Westbound. Wore out. Everybody happy to see me. Must turn in rental car this afternoon and save a few $.
We'll check back later. Y'all behave.

Gooooood Morning Legionnaires!
Austin, glad you made it home safely but, leave the ice there. Snow is welcome though.
Here's to hoping all is well with the rest of you too.
GO CATS! (He said Apprehensively.)
He was being interviewed during the first time out.
Good morning D, beautiful but cold day here in the Berg!!!
I got a call yesterday and today I am going to deliver my last THIN BLUE LINE stained glass badge to our former sheriff who passed away, going to be tough!!!!
Our BIBLE reading each year now is on the first of December we start reading Luke. We read one chapter each day with it ending on CHRISTMAS DAY
I hope the D has a great day, thank GOD for safe travels and thank GOD for each day HE gives us!!!! I just don't see how anyone can mock GOD and think they can get away with it!!!

Nope, it was Diedrich Blvd. I guess they have both have bad service.
I have wimp attributes also!
Well, even John Wayne, Kirk Douglas, and Steve McQueen did , too.
My wife did the online thing, with Warby Parker. Pretty satisfied, but we probably paid a little more than if we had gone to Lens Crafters, or another local place. Only got about 1" of snow last night and the roads are just wet. Kind of snow I like.
It is becomming a tradition. We are doing it also
I think I will join you guys. Great idea. Our church handed out the green rubber wrist bands that say "Keep Christ in Christmas" and badges with the pins, that say, "Jesus, Our Living Hope, Merry Christmas" Seems like our Lord keeps getting pushed aside, more and more, and people forget why we even celebrate Christmas. It began in a manger and was completed with a rolled away stone.
I am glad I missed this, That is pretty low class. As fans we want to play good teams and paying over $200 to watch UK play Transy is not what we have in mind. Or Morehead.
But a coach should never throw fans under the bus and blame losing to Richmond on UK fans wanting good teams. Richmond still does not meet my definition of elite teams that should be seen in Rupp Arena. Calipari needs to read some UK history and see the teams Adolph Rupp and Joe B Hall brought into Lexington. The weak cupcakes were no where to be found.
The UKIT was set up to bring in the very best teams in America for a Christmas Tournament. Defending National Champions were included as were the best from the East, Midwest and West. It was worth the $25 we paid to see four games in two nights. Now to sit in my seats it is over $200 for even an exhibition game.
End of rant, I will turn this over to you.
Let me add another P..S. I hate coaches being interviewed during a game. OK at half time, before or after but not during a time out when your team is getting pushed around. That is when you should coach, not answer reporters questions. What is going on here.
Glad you are joining in with us!!!!
I read a good set of scriptures yesterday, Titus 3:3-7, says it all!
I'm as upset as anyone with Cal so this is not to defend him, but in the old days, it was easier to get good teams in Rupp. The $ payout for the UKIT was the biggest money teams were going to find in those days. As more tournies, TV, and money came into play, it became less attractive for top teams to go on the road to Rupp.
Good morning D League
And now for the daily weather report. We are sitting at 42° with a strong breeze off of the Gulf at 16 mph. The humidity is 64% with no chance of rain. With the breeze the temperature feels like 36°. That is good for the citrus fruit as cold sweetens them up. Our high will be 53°.
We are thankful Austin made it back to Texas safe and sound. All is well. God bless
Oh and last nights moon was spectacular. Waning Gibbous

Yes it was a very different world and game. The quality of players who came into Memorial Coliseum would fill up a Hall of Fame. They were the best of the very best. Jerry West, Jerry Lucas, Hot Rod Hundley, Cazzie Russell just to name a few. Great basketball.
Of course we did not have TV coverage back then and just a fraction of the money in the sport compared to today. But we had some classic games.
Yeah, I love Titus, one of the often-overlooked sections of scripture.
And, back then, only the biggest games were on tv. Now, on any given night, you can find South Dakota State, playing Drake. Teams don't want to come to play in a situation like the UKIT when they can go to Maui, or the Bahamas, get to play three games and get more tv revenue. Just a sign of the times. Certainly not better, just different.
Good morning D-League. Had around 1" or so of snow on the ground ground here in Eastern Kentucky. Hard to believe it's the first day of December already. This year has flown by
And, at least for me, that’s why interest is waning in sports in general. There are too many games on tv, especially teams hardly anyone cares about. That’s good for the smaller schools, but it’s just overload. I used to really anticipate a good matchup for days ahead, but now you can find a game to watch whenever you want. After a while, it can get boring.
Good morning Kai, are you getting any snow up there?
Happy December D-League, I guess. Thanks to my wife cracking the whip, we are well down the road in our Christmas prep, and our house looks the festive part. Now I ust have to drag my psychological and emotional state in that direction. One more day with our son before he heads back to Lex for a few weeks. But we know we'lll have the kids back for Christmas so its not a sad parting.
As I'm sure is true with many of you, I'm proud of all my kids and the way they are handling this crazy year by being productive and serving people and without self-pity or destructive behavior.
Nervous about the Cats tonight. Kansas has become one of those programs I think damage the game, and I hate to see succeed. So it'd be doubly irritating to lose to them. Why do we have an NCAA when a program like Kansas can be charged 15 months ago with very serious cheating allegations, and there is no sign that anything is ever going to come of it?

Speaking of old basketball tournaments that we miss:
Hey, I hope you're doing well. Nah, there's no snow at my house. Last night, some higher elevation areas to our North picked up some small amounts, up on the ridge tops and plateau, but down here in the valley, nothing, just cold and windy.
It's been a while since I've been on here; I need to catch up on things.
Got time to lean.....got time to clean
All is white here at home. Didn't get as much as they were saying yesterday morning. They said 4-8 and it looks more like 3. Sometimes Accuweather is not too Accu.
Saw a video with Perry Stone this morning (if you know who he is) and he was talking about the Covid gov't shutdowns...especially of churches. Was talking about how many churches he's heard that have shutdown completely...can't pay the bills. One town he said had 5 churches and they were all closed. Mentioned a survey (I guess) that of all the church goers who haven't been able to go to church...45% are not planning on going back.
Sad times.

Same here. It snowed all day long but melted as soon as it hit. A few degrees colder and we would have had a big one.
We are doing well, the wife is enjoying the cool weather as it reminds her of her Kentucky home. Except we have sunshine down here.
The pool boy came out today to clean the pool and was all wrapped up with thick flannel leggings, a wool scarf and layered clothes. He was a native Floridian and said he couldn't take this. Asked me if I realized it got down into the 40's last night. I laughed.
I guess we got about an inch here in central Ky this morning. Cold and blustery. The good news is we are moving in weather like this...we are so smart
Morning folks.
Good to see Austin safely home.
It got down to 26 here last night but we had no snow to stick.
I dread the game tonight. I fully expect UK to go down. This year without an exhibition season and crap happening all the time is not the best for a very young team.

This is a real problem in the church world. Down here our churches remain strong but we have not had a government shut down. The churches have remained open and used caution by following the guidelines. I have been watching our services online and learned how to pay my tithes over the internet. They say it is secure. So far no problem.
If I had not had this cancer thing I would be in service but the doc cautioned me to take care until I get back close to 100%.
43°➫ 71° Sunny, crisp & dry.
Good Morning D
Bluetiful!
Morning fellas
Feeling OK finally.
I was going to go back to work today, but they talked me into staying home one more day.
I didn't even watch the game on Sunday, the loss was not a surprise. I did pick the Cats to win in OldReds prediction contest. I still cant go against them. I'm gonna pick them to beat Kansas too...
All hail to the D...
