I liked Kirk as Van Gogh. Pretty good movie.
Maybe I go against the grain, but never cared for Van Gogh, Picasso, Andy Warhol, etc.
Give me a Bob Ross any day.

They look delicious.Have you ever tried stone crabs? During the season you are allowed to break off one claw per crab. Throw it back in the water and it will regrow the claw.
It is about as good as goodness gets.
Heck they probably like gizzards too... 😁
I last went crabbing at Sebastian Inlet in FL one weekend with friends back during summer, 1980. We used chicken necks on a string.
My daughter had to take art this year, so I had her watch a few of his shows to learn some tricks. He makes it look so effortless in those videos.
That guy was quite the talent...and I know nothing about art. Can't draw a stick man.
But to take basically paint brushes and in 20-25 minutes to have a complete landscape painting was always quite impressive to me.
Top picture looks like it got caught in the spin cycle of a washing machine!!!Yesterday, I had a friend in the yard while I was mowing (eastern rat snake Pantherophis alleghaniensis). He was about 3.5 to 4' long. I added the scientific name for Rooster.
I played with him a few minutes and ran him out of the mowing zone. It did not like being herded. I beg my neighbors not to kill the rat snakes but they often do not comply.
They are handsome snakes. The second picture is when he reacted to me herding him.
Tight bark hickory!A botany question for @_Rooster. I went RVing with my daughter and son in law this weekend in our RV yard we had a large hickory tree, but I don't know what hickory.
From these pictures Rooster can you tell?
Thanks in advance.
My wife and I are big fans of P. Buckley Moss.
Her bio sounds similar to a guy in Ohio, up in the Amish country.....
'... inspiration in the imagery of Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley, becoming captivated by the life and culture of the Amish and Mennonite people of the area. She embraced the local landscapes, lifestyles, and traditions and felt that the life and culture she was part of held an important message for modern society: live simply and enjoy every moment!'
His name is Billy Jacobs. We have a few of his originals hanging on the walls.
Good morning D, cool here in the Berg, 55, but wind chill makes it 51!
Had a good visit to the eye doctor yesterday, he told us everything looked good the tear in my retina had healed up good. I WILL never get over that day he "spot wielded" that tear in my retina that day!!!!! He said put your chin in the cup right there and it won't hurt, but when the nurse put her hands on the back of my head so I wouldn't or couldn't more, my first thought was, this is not going to be good and I was right!!!! He is the big Oklahoma football fan I made the ornament for with OU on it, he really liked it, but didn't like it enough to not charge me with an office call!!! He told me maybe you can make me one next year with NC on it!
I hope the D, has a great day and Prayers for the D!!!!!

Extended warranties. Purchased one through Nissan last night for our 2013 Nissan Frontier. Truck has 30,985 miles on it. Warranty now runs until May 4, 2028 or 105,500 miles, whichever comes first. Cost = $2,662.
Yeah, we drive very little because I either rent cars or take public transportation.

Of course you got yours thru Nissan, but I've often wondered about Car Shield, et al. Are they worth the cost? Do they pay as they say they do? And so forth. I'm sure it's got a lot to do with what type vehicle you have, age, mileage, etc.
Remember a number of years ago there was an auto warranty company (one of the fist that I remember, can't remember the name but I think maybe based in St. Louis) that was basically a scam. Got to be very large with very high pressure methods. Think they may have done an episode of American Greed about it. Always left a bad taste in my mouth with the Car Shields of the world.
Checking in late today. Looks like the D-League is cooking along.
Crabs are a huge thing here in Maryland. It's the unofficial state symbol, and in recent years you see a crab silhouette with the state flag colors in the back windshield of cars as an indicator of state pride. I can take them or leave them, but always enjoyed the summer crab feasts where a few guys would go together and buy a bushel of them, a bunch of beer and corn on the cob and just get half loaded.

The painting is fake. That guy has an ear.
St. G's is one great "undiscovered" place.
I don't know what we used. Actually, I didn't crab. I rowed & drank beer.
Thank you.
My little brother got an extended warranty on his Nissan Altima from a company similar to Car Shield. Can't remember the name. Anyway, his engine blew and they would not cover because they claimed he ran it low on oil. According to him, oil level was fine when the engine blew. He appealed through small claims court, but lost.
Extended warranty companies usually have the upper-hand. Easy for them to claim neglect. Having said that, CarShield and Endurance have great reviews. There are 3 levels for Nissan extended warranties. We got the Gold level or highest level.
Thank you.Happy Anniversary to Don and the Mrs.
Love soft shell crab. i think right about now is when they’re molting. “ a bushel of them, a bunch of beer and corn on the cob and just get loaded.”
Yeah, I never mastered the art of using those little mallets and stripping away all the nasty stuff to get much meat out of a hard shell blue crab. I had a couple Maryland girlfriends and my wife shake their heads at my feeble efforts (not all at once, though that's a pleasant thought.)
But the drinking beer and telling stories part was easy to enjoy.
Anyway, my adopted state makes much of the ugly little critters...
When I lived in Atlanta we had some friends who lived in Savannah, plus I had a lady who was from New Orleans who worked for me for years, so we used to have shrimp boils with them quite often. A tradition that I've kept up here in Ohio (where a lot of friends have/had no idea what it was). We have a low country boil (with shrimp) every Summer.
- Good Afternoon, D-Leagueanites and Lurkers.
- Nothing going on for this old Wildcat.
- Dry. Finally.
- We had about 3 inches.
- Finally saw a White Tail the other day.
- Took QB out for a steak in Dawsonville Monday.
- You know the drill,
- As you were.
- Carry on.
Looks like we got a new CAT, welcome home CJ!!!!
I drive Honda's and have never bought nor needed the extended warranties. However, my sister bought a used KIA something with 70K+ miles. The transmission went out on on it along with some other things...and KIA covered it. Good on KIA.
I lived in MD for 9 years...never understood the love for the MD flag on everything. But I did love the blue crabs.
The wife and I just pulled in from a very enjoyable day trip. Like I said earlier she is a lover of art. I can take it or leave it but for the sake of family unity I took her down to the Dali Museum on the St Pete Bayfront.
When in college we had a choice between arts appreciation or music appreciation and I chose music. My wife took both of them. LOL She knows her stuff when it comes to art. I am stuck with Beetle Bailey
The Van Gogh presentation was very nice and the day was great. It is May so what else do you expect? After that I took her to the Conch Republic Seafood Restaurant on Madeira Beach and we had some nice conch strips and seafood Creoie. Nice and fresh and it hit the spot.
They didn't have gizzards on the menu so the conch strips were a good substitute . They have the same texture.

Just returned from a 2-mile hike. Plan on grabbing some Chick-fil-A in a few.
We really thought hard about the extended warranty decision. Honda's are great. I've seen them go 500K miles on the original drive-train. Nissan's are okay. The extra $32 per month offers peace of mind. We plan on keeping it because a replacement is so doggone expensive.
I have a friend who is to say the least very wealthy....he said the best buy is a program car with the extended warranty........I have used this combinations since 1984 and it has never let us down....
Huge get! Now a PG and help in the post and I can get excited again.
Happy Anniversary!
I can't get excited until UK shows loyalty to the fanbase over the current SJW crap and getting players who care more about the program than everything else out there except perhaps God and family. Too often today's players have too many distractions with not enough conviction for why they were offered the best place in the world to play basketball. UK fans as soon as a player commits are in there corner ready to back them at every turn. However, in recent years , they have shown they really don't care about the fans or that much about the university.
This has made international news. Derby Day.

It's a cool lookin flag, but I don't understand the obsession either
Really liked Dali as an artist until I saw his paintings in person. I was advised to see at least one actual painting up close by a friend who said he'd been to the museum, so I checked it out. He was a HORRIBLE painter from a technical perspective early on, bit got better over time. Concepts and composition were first rate much of the time
Glad y'all had a great time
Good morning D-League. It's currently 39°, with overcast skies and a high of 64° expected later today.
Great news on CJ Fredrick.
Everyone stay safe out there today

Good morning from ATX. Currently 54°F and crystal clear skies. Today's high could reach 86°F.
Indeed, great news about Fredrick. Keep 'em coming.
Mowed back yard yesterday. Now must weed-wack. Good job for Saturday.
I'm actually hitting up the pub after work for a meet-up with former colleagues whom I worked with at a previous location. All are vaccinated. Guess you could say I'm half-vaxed. Must ride my bicycle about 4 miles. Looking forward to it.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.
