I never liked Cadbury Eggs until I visited the factory in Birmingham, England and tried one......they have a better quality chocolate and creme in the eggs.......I still don't like the ones available here......

If Rural King doesn't have it then you don't need it. Food, tools, clothes, guns...
I've always said the same thing about Dixie Highway in Louisville.
But RK was closed when I got there...bummer. I don't mind putting things off until tomorrow and in fact that is my normal MO. Don't like having it put off for me though.
Read this a few minutes ago in a comment section of an electric car article. These are some of the inconvenient truths that are known to the powers that be, but are withheld from the general public...
"Combusting fossil fuels to release more CO2 to the atmosphere is a good thing. Dr Patrick Moore, founder of GreenPeace, "The combustion of fossil fuels for energy to power human civilization has reversed the downward trend of CO2 and promises to bring it back to levels that are likely to foster a considerable increase in the growth rate and biomass of plants, including food crops and trees.. . .The human emissions of CO2 have restored a balance to the global carbon cycle, thereby ensuring long-term continuation of life on earth."---You may also want to read "The Falsification of Atmospheric CO2 Greenhouse Effects Within the Frame of Physics" by Gerhard Gerlich Ph.D Physics. It is full of equations and applications of laws of thermodynamics and heat transfer. But if you read it carefully, it is a real eye-opener. One thing he points out is the misuse of the term "Greenhouse Gas" The atmosphere does not trap radiant heat by analogy to a greenhouse. A greenhouse warms because of lack of convective currents, thereby trapping heat. It has nothing to do with absorption and re-emission of infra-red radiation as long as the structure of the glasshouse uses a material that transmits completely incoming and outgoing radiant energy. So the idea of CO2 trapping outgoing infra- red radiation as a "greenhouse gas" is a misnomer. It just has a neat analogy that is easily understood with no connection to what is actually happening.. He then says the entire construct of Man Made Global Warming goes against the second law of thermodynamics: if most of the warming occurs in the middle troposphere, about 4 miles above the surface, where the average temperature is -40 degrees F, it would be thermo-dynamic impossible for heat transfer from a colder temperature reservoir to a warmer temperature reservoir, ie, the surface of the earth which is at least 50 degrees warmer.
Anyway, We are a Carbon based planet and CO2 is the staring point for photosynthesis which is responsible for not only the production of biomass, but life-sustaining Oxygen. According to Moore, if you examine the geological records, especially the late Cambrian period when the earth was covered with towering broad-leafed trees, the mean global temperature of earth was a balmy 90 degrees F, with a CO2 concentration of 6500 PPM. During that period production of oxygen was 1.5 times greater than today with atmospheric CO2 concentrations 17 times greater than current levels.. So don't feel guilty about using a gasoline powered Vehicle that puts more of that life-giving molecule into the atmosphere. And come to realize that Man Made Global Warming is a form of political menacing that has no basis in sound scientific principles.
I have nothing against wind power, solar panels and electric vehicles, and their technologies should be developed, if only for the reason that someday we will run out of fossil fuels, yet knowing that current reservoirs of proven and unproven fossil fuel reserves should last at least another 5 centuries. So let's utilize solar and wind energy today and welcome them into the pie-chart energy mix, but to replace fossil fuels totally with these "clean" alternatives, in such a short period of time, will only have negative consequences for ourselves and the planet."

Agreed on all points
I'm a recent addition here but I haven't seen you post much. In any event, welcome to the D league!
As Briscoe Darling told Andy "just jump in where you can and hang on".
I Appre iate that. The welcome and the advice
I am a big Rural King fan. It is very popular where I live as is the Farm and Ranch store. Both have good selections of weapons and ammunition. At a good price
I will pray for your safe travels and I will pray for those poor fish!
OK, I like cars and I live in area that likes cars. Recently they opened a new place to hang out if you like cars and a good time. Lead Foot City
Check us out
Check us out
Stay safe and have fun.
It was proven 2,000 years ago.
....and also 2500 & 3000 years ago.

Blast from the past: Roy Rogers and Don Adams vs Bob Newhart and George Forman in a celebrity bowling tournament. Such matches were quite popular during the 70s.
Conversation went something like this...Blast from the past: Roy Rogers and Don Adams vs Bob Newhart and George Forman in a celebrity bowling tournament. Such matches were quite popular during the 70s.
Roy Rogers "happy trails fellas"
Don Adams "missed it by that much'
Bob Newhart "I just had the craziest dream"
George Forman "I rolled the fat out that sucka"
@AustinTXCat Meant to put this up a while back. Ebike for your journeys picking up change when you decide not to wallk. Mod bikes there in Austin.
I took the opportunity to boycott Coca Cola today. I hope every person in America with any sense will do the same thing. No company, institution, or celebrity can exist without the support of white conservatives. I will not be demonized for providing the world that lazy dumbass people take advantage of.
I liked Coke when eating out. I don't drink it other than that but I will have something else now. My darling liked to drink coke but decided she can drink something else.
Have a coke and a smile is now.... Pour it down the drain and purchase no more... P_SS on Coke... jmusao
Attababy! Dems have boycotted many times and now it's time for us to fight fire with fire. Right is might!
Ha ha, I hear ya. I boycotted and stopped drinking Cokes years ago. Last soft drink for me was an Ale-8-One over Christmas. None since. Too much sugar and corn syrup. That stuff kills people.
Hello D league I haven’t posted here in awhile. I think I’ll visit more often. I think I’m done for awhile posting in rafters.
Welcome aboard! The more the merrier.
Meh
Tired of all of it
Just finished watching on Cincy local Star 64 station a spliced together, sound-matched partial (most of it) replay of UC beating OSU in OT 70-65 for the 1961 NCAA title. Apparently, no full version exists and the film was shot by someone in UC's athletic department & this new release is the best there is. Because UC brought a limited amount of film, portions of the game from the ball being inbounded to ball in frontcourt were not filmed. A couple of views were from the opposite side of the court, apparently from another film source. The play-by-play was by a local weatherman !! at the time named Darrell Parks. It was the first time this has ever been shown. Cool to watch.
Few things:
- Defense was loose as fouls were tightly called.
- Player movement was slow & recognition of people open for passes was poor by both teams.
- Both teams played just 7 players with UC having maybe 3 minutes total of subs. Three fouls in first half by two UC starters & they stayed in the game for most of half even then.
- Weird watching all fouls being shot and then with just one shot till the bonus. Of course no 3 point shots so longest shot I recall was with one foot on the top of the key.
- Tony Yates was bad. Didn't have a jump shot (used a set shot, one-hand), his layup misses bounded halfway to the foul line, and he missed a layup when 10 feet ahead of the OSU D. He could dribble, chew gum, & play D.
- Bob Knight played 6-8 minutes & looked lost for the most part.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 58°F and cloudy. Our high should reach 80°F. We may see upper-90s by end of the week. Bah!
Championship game tonight. Should be a good one.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League member.

Good morning D League. Hope you all had a good weekend.
I’m not quite ready for Monday, but Monday has come for me, so time to meet it.
My wife gets back from her getaway to see her aunt in NYC late morning. Sounds like she had a great weekend. Next time I’ll tag along.
My interest has grown in the title game tonight after the weekend games. Baylor looked better on Saturday but you never know until teams are on the court together.
That said, I’ve spent some time in Waco and liked the place. And Baylor is owed one after losing the championship to Kentucky in 1948. So go Bears.

By the way, it just occurred to me:
The basketball legend Elgin BAYLOR who recently passed away played his last game against Kentucky in the 1958 championship.
And now BAYLOR University is back in the championship game for the first time since losing to Kentucky in the 1948 championship.
What can it mean? Is it just a coincidence? Yeah I guess so. But it’s fun to remember the legacy.

Good Morning D League
It is nice to see some new faces on the D League, welcome all.
We are in store for another beautiful day. Lots of sunshine and clear skies. I could copy and paste yesterday's weather.
I am looking forward to tonight's game. I can pull for either team. I enjoy Baylor and since they have not been in the Final Game since the 1940's it would be nice to see them win it. I enjoy Gonzaga as much as any team I have watched this year. Their style of play brings back memories of great Kentucky teams in the past. Sharp, crisp passing, movement of the ball, players in motion. Just good fundamentals. Plus I think it would be nice to see an undefeated National Champion again. 1976 was a long time ago. So Go Zags and Go Bears, may the best team win. And let's pray the referees stay out of the game and let the players win or lose it on the court. Relax, pop some corn, throw out Coca Cola and have some fun.
In preparation of the game I am going to catch up on some work in the garage.

Bom dia,
This morning I would like to point out one of the many positives of the D.
Reading the various mentions of daily walks and such, I have been getting my fat butt up and out walking this past week. I went for a walkabout in the neighborhood again yesterday. This time two miles. It might not seem like a lot, but it is a good start. With yard work and chores, I hit just over four miles total yesterday.
I took a vacation day today, and I am glad I did. I am hoping to kick out more of my pressure washing. The original owners had my house built in 1959, and as they grew older, things were naturally let go. So the whole place needed a deep clean and sprucing up.
Ramble off/
I hope everyone has a great day.

Pizza, my favorite fruit. Dang, this is probably the longest stretch without pizza I have gone in, I can't remember. Going to have to indulge soon.
Sitting outside the DC VA waiting a bit before I go in for my China Virus 1st vaccine. I have about an hour. Had my apple already. Now sipping on my coffee.
God Bless you all today and may you engulf yourselves in the love of your families. If you don't have much family, seek and make family in your heart. Many suffer the loss of love. There is plenty of love in this world, seek it out, it is worth it.

Told my wife yesterday no more Coke. She and my daughter had already switched to Sam's Sugar free cola because it is pretty good and cheaper. I was hanging on to Coke until yesterday.

With apologies to BKO.
Morning D. Salutations from the shanty.
Looks like a outdoor chore day with 76° and blue skies. Should be a good game tonight if form holds.
More. Coffee..................................................................................

Just got up. Haven’t slept this late on a weekday in almost 2 years
Coffee is brewing. Rob makes such good coffee. He always has mine ready to go..and he doesn’t drink it himself. That’s love gentlemen
Curious...did any of you get into the MCU?
Anyway..gonna spend the few day days trying to get my house in order
Wish me luck
