D-League

[augustaky1]

You still in Augusta? It is a pretty town. as I think I mentioned once before, my mother's people were from there when she was a kid, then moved to Brooksville.

Here's a dark story for the D-League.

Back in the late 1920s, my grandmother's sister from Augusta married a guy who lived directly across the river on the Ohio side. Things didn't work out, apparently, and the guy ended up murdering her. Ohio gave him a fair trial, and put him in the electric chair.
Here's the scoundrel in question, from the Ohio Corrections website:

The odd thing is, no one ever knew of a motive. My father used to say if you knew his mother-in-law, and assuming the sister was similar, it was no big mystery, but he was mostly kidding. I think.

Wow, what a story. I was not familiar with that one. Which kind of surprises me. My family owned the Bracken Chronicle. However, the story above would have been before my grandmother was involved with the paper. My grandfather might have been of that age, but he died before I was born. I will ask my sister about it.

I moved down to Erlanger. I love Augusta, but how shall I say this? It almost got the best of me. Lolo Lolo

Isn't that paper called the Bracken County News now?

This is a very odd coincidence, but I was actually briefly mentioned in that paper this week, believe it or not -- thanks to an aunt of mine who still lives in Brooksville.

As the tiny, obscure newspaper in Bracken County has improbably come up in the thread, I'll share this clip, sent to me as a photocopy by my aunt:

Have to check my mail. Use Wells for a while too. Their interest is horrible in comparison to others but they are convenient. All eggs not in one basket.

Mrs and BBUK's 38th today.(Had to figure it out, quit counting long ago.)(Let's see if any of our children remember.)

Actually celebrating BOB's birthday today. He is turning two on the 6th. (Grandma and Grandpa bought him a tablet. He runs a phone like a pro. Have to wrap it.) My darling made beef ribs I will throw on the barbeque about noon and then take them over to my daughter's apartment along with some potato salad and some chop chai noodles.

Oh, My prayer for you all today is that you all find favor with others so your way today is made easy and with joy. God Bless you all...

BBUK -- There was something odd about this lawsuit and settlement: My wife and I have a joint account at that bank, but with different debit cards and debit card numbers. I was eligible for the payout, but apparently she wasn't. I can't say why. Here's a brief summary of the case:

"A $142 Million Settlement with Wells Fargo includes customers who had certain Wells Fargo credit cards, lines of credit, checking or savings accounts opened or applied for in their name without their permission, or had authorized identity theft protection services from Wells Fargo, from May 1, 2002 to April 20, 2017."

We've got some Google Nests and some Alexa's (equal opportunity hi-tech house). The Mrs is in the kitchen playing some old tune favorites of hers while she's fixing a few thing for tomorrow's dinner. The Google Nest about every 3rd or 4th song is playing a BLM commercial, or some such nonsense.
Since these things can understand you and talk back to you....I wonder if I told 'her' that she will be in the trash if 'she' doesn't stop it, if 'she'll' stop or not?

 

[OHIO COLONEL]

I think Wells Fargo has had a number of problems in the last few years.

Similar but different.

The Bracken County News used too and might still have a section called Looking Back, or something like that. It is usually clippings from the Chronicle.

They shut the Chronicle down around 1972. Then sometime later, the Augusta Times and Bracken County News started.

Several people asked my Dad to start the Chronicle back up. He always said the ad revenue was just not there, even in the 70s and 80s.

One of my cousins and one of my sisters seem to have the writing ability. So does my daughter. I know it is obvious, but I did not get the writing gene.

Congratulations on the award. Impressive.

My grandmother kept a subscription to the Bracken County News. It was a big hit at most of my commands.

When I was assigned to a deep ocean survey team, we had a tiny crew and grew extremely close. Being permanently deployed will do that.

Anyway, EVERYBODY on the ship kept up with the Bracken County News and what "Dave and Marry Berry" was doing that week and where anyone "motored to."

I do miss those days.

Ok, I am hogging the D again. Apologies.

Edit-to-add: The motto for the Chronicle and listed right under the name was: Cussed by many, read by all.

If you knew my family - it was perfect.

Oh yeah, I remember that now. Wells Fargo opened you an account without your permission. They did that to pad their performance numbers with regulators as comparison tools. I actually think they opened me an account I didn't ask for and I complained about it back several years ago. They closed it and nothing else came from it.

Something weird is supposed to happen here today. We are supposed to receive a package that has MY name on it! There is something on the front porch each and every day that I have to bring in and it's never addressed to me. I no longer have to go to Walmart with her on Saturday's though, so I'm not really complaining. Just sort of.

I bought a golf cart last November and have been in the process of fancying it up ever since. Today's gift to myself is a pair of led light pods.

I got a call from starchief5 last night. He can read but can't post. So watch what ever you say in his absence.

I will sent a pm to Jedwar to see if he can help him out.

Yikes! I began wondering what happened to @starchief5. He's not banned or his username would not resolve. Perhaps try a different browser.

 

[bertfan31]

Austin, you forgot to tell him to clear his history, clear his cache, turn the computer off and restart it, and to click his heels together 3 times and repeat "I think I can" until it works.

Well so much for Ballard claiming their 4th title. E-Town is blowing them out of the gym.

Pool temperature is 85° and the air temperature is near 73°. Full sunshine, not a cloud in the sky and a gentle breeze. This is very inviting. I think I will jump n

I see where Major League Baseball keeps shooting itself in the foot. Dumb and dumber. Is there a corporation in America that is interested in selling their product and will stay out of the weeds. I am looking for them.

Have to check my mail. Use Wells for a while too. Their interest is horrible in comparison to others but they are convenient. All eggs not in one basket.

Mrs and BBUK's 38th today.(Had to figure it out, quit counting long ago.)(Let's see if any of our children remember.)

Actually celebrating BOB's birthday today. He is turning two on the 6th. (Grandma and Grandpa bought him a tablet. He runs a phone like a pro. Have to wrap it.) My darling made beef ribs I will throw on the barbeque about noon and then take them over to my daughter's apartment along with some potato salad and some chop chai noodles.

Oh, My prayer for you all today is that you all find favor with others so your way today is made easy and with joy. God Bless you all...

Happy Anniversary!!!

 

[UK82]

Watched the documentary Muscle Shoals again the other day (if you know what it is...famous recording studio in Muscle Shoals, Ala.). Worth the watch if you've never seen it. Years ago when I lived in Atlanta I went over to it quite a few times. Think it's closed now.

I bought that on bluray a few years back. Very good!

One of my cousins lives in Lafayette LA...He had a bunch of instruments, a very nice recording studio and after the Katrina ordeal......the only possesions he had other than the clothers he had taken on vacation......was six Bomber bass lures that I had given him and they were up on a shelf..........he lost everything.........I would have liked to had the reel to reel recoreding system and his sound board.......none of it was insured.......

Back from my fishing day and the fish blanked me again. It is still colder than usual and others I know are having the same problem. Darn global climate change racist energy keeping sun. There where bass I could actually see (3 of them). 2 stayed close to the bank and were chasing bluegill. One was about 3 pounds at least and I tried all kind of lures right in front of them and nothing. I felt like Harris from Major League:

"I'm throwing everything I can at em skipper, I think I got enough for one more."

 

[OHIO COLONEL]

Been on and off the board all day with a number of things to do. Just got home but didn't want to forget......

@BBUK, hope you and your 'darling' are having a great day.

I thought fishing was hooking something. Or is it sticking a line with a hook in the water and napping?

May need to either, press the keys OR plug in the keyboard.... Jk jk...

I'm in for the night. Mowed the grass today and even used my refurbished cart to haul some limbs to the burn pile.

Went to the golf course and installed a speaker and the 2 led lights on my cart. Took it for a test drive and it is not acceptable. Shakes way too much for my liking and looks like something would break sooner than later. Back to the drawing board. I have another idea that I'll try out this coming week.

Depends on who is fishing and what they are fishing for.

I know many on here don't care about the Final 4 this year (I understand) so I'll give you a quick update. Baylor is annihilating Houston at the half. Embarrassingly so. 45-20.

Porky Pig? I wonder how long before he is cancelled. Ilhan Omar will probably lead that charge.

If not her, then AOC.

Assuming Gonzaga doesn’t lay a colossal egg, it’ll be an entertaining Final. None of these teams would be special in a normal year. But Baylor and Gonzaga are clearly the best of this year.

First shot at doing a "day before turkey" for Easter. 19-pounder. It's not a pretty presentation but supposedly really moist. I miss the days when Mom cooked the holiday feasts. Us kids have been taking on the job now for the past several years.

BBQ Ribs?...........I must have missed what time at your daughter's apartment?.......Happy Anniversary........and Happy Birthday to the...."Little Big Guy".........

Yeah, just got back. They are all busy doing other things now. Me and my darling took a trip to the Korean market and picked up some Mackerel. Had them cleaned, de-headed, and butterflied. My Darling will put a little seasoning on them and we may barbeque those for tomorrow's supper.

The ribs were of the Kalbi variety. They looked something like the below but we buy them raw and my Darling seasons and marinates them. (I did the barbequing this time. Had about 15 pounds or so.) (I have pics but am too lazy to transfer them to facebook right now.)

My darling also made Bulgogi and Chop Chai noodles something like the below: (I will post our pics at another time.)

Not at all bragging but my darlings was much better looking and I know better tasting.

Oh and she made some Potato salad too.

My wife worked way too hard today on our day but it was BOB's birthday celebration THOUGH the food was really enjoyed by the grown-ups though BOB loves the Bulgogi and noodles...

Never had asparagus and my wife made some tonight. Might be a weekly thing for a while. Man that was good.

I love asparagus as well, especially with bacon wrapped around it. It's also good with Knorr's bearnaise or hollandaise sauce on it.
