D-League

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning from ATX. Currently 66°F, partly cloudy, humid and calm. We may top out around 83°F.

Manager said yesterday we might return to the office at our former location 2-days per week beginning late-August or early-September. We'll work there until November when another facility has completed renovation. Stay tuned.

Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

I don't do quiche.

But that one does look good.

Another beautiful Spring day in the Buckeye State. Up to the low 80s.

Back to the garden to plant tomato plants (ever since the Dan Quayle episode of 'potato' or 'potatoe'....I hesitate when I spell tomatoe.) Always enjoy getting the garden planted, but give it a month or two with the heat/humidity/weeds....you can have it.

Met/knew Rogers and Daniels. That's that. Agree with earlier comments about Rogers. Wife was nice.

Everybody have a safe, healthy, productive day.

It's going to be a beautiful day in the bluegrass state. Everyone enjoy it.

Cumberland Falls last Saturday (May 15) morning. Looking good.

Many years ago i drove 3 1/2 hours to see the falls which i’d never seen. we got there and it was bone dry ☹️.
It was a nice trip though—we visited the lodge and spent several hours at nearby Tombstone Junction which was top notch entertainment for the kids. too bad that place closed. i think there was a huge fire and they never reopened after that.

Sir, that is worth attaching the song. One of my favorites...



Oh, may all of you think of this still as a wonderful world. We have serious issues we may not be able to overcome but there is a God in control who knows the outcome and all will happen at his command and become what God has determined. No amount of evil can change that.

My hope for you is that today becomes the day if you do not already know this, you come to the realization that God loves you. God Bless you all...

My favorite Louis Armstrong song. Ole' Satchmo was a good one The man could sing and play country.

I have seen it get low but never dry.

I do quiche and a whole bunch of other food items, heck, I may one day try sushi and I know I have had green eggs and ham but I steer clear of a couple items that some may consider "food stuffs" whose names will remain silent in this post. @Sawnee Cat (I have to lay off the gizzard jokes just a little.)

We may have a member or two or three who fit this description. Having a chemical engineering background means you can take it with you into retirement.

I fit it perfectly.

There was still water flowing but not enough to create a falls. the rocks were totally exposed and mostly dry.

Good morning from The Nature Coast. Current temperature is 66° and sunny with 1% chance of rain. Our winds will be a steady 18mph with gusts up to 40. There is a small craft advisory for the Gulf. Something must have happened out there yesterday because 3 Coast Guard helicopters came over the house and that usually means someone is in trouble. But maybe it was a training mission because we are two weeks from the start of hurricane season. Our high should reach 87° which is pleasant with a 18mph wind.

Trust all have a great day and enjoyed your breakfast. Mama always said it was the most important meal of the day as she sent us off to school. I found that to be true through life.

Even lions feared the great Joe Louis. He stared 'em down. Here he is in Austin, 1950.

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Listening to the radio and they have on the Supt of Education. He emphasized our schools will not teach Critical Race Theory. He said the Federal Department of Education thinks they can force it on us but that will not happen. No where in the state will any textbook with that theory be allowed.

So that is some good news from our public schools. Another good thing is all COVID restriction have been ended. Expect full stadiums in the fall.

Good morning D-League. Another beautiful day in the east. The summer heat is clearly on the way that makes this place miserable (if you are like me and prefer it cool/cold to hot/roasting.) But for now my daily walks couldn't be more pleasant.

Enjoyed that photo of Joe Louis, Austin.

In my much, much younger days I dated a woman in the D.C. suburbs whose stereotypical Irish father was an ex-boxer. I was over at her house one time, trying to conceal that I was drunker than a waltzing piss-ant, when the old gent started regaling everyone with his boxing stories. "I even fought the great Joe Louis once!" he boasted. Without trying to be a smart-ass I blurted out, "Who won?"

Luckily, the old guy was about as drunk as I was, and maybe still hearing the bells in his head from being clobbered so often in the 1940s, because he laughed and said, "well, at least he knew he'd been in a fight."

I hope you all have a peaceful day.

Pics or it didn't happen...

I probably should have said that to the old guy about his claim to have fought Joe Louis. But he was around 65 then and I was 25 or so and he probably could have still whipped my ass.

Good morning D, beautiful day here in the Berg!!!!

I read a book of short stories by Donald Ray Pollock that was centered in a small Ohio town called Knockemstiff. The book was actually called Knockemstiff. Very dark tales. I thought it was a made-up name just to be funny but there really is a town by that name in Ohio.

We need some rain bad. This is my backyard and as you can see the lake is very low. It should be up to the grass edge. Fortunately we should start getting our daily summer rain in a few weeks. 20 inches would be a blessing.

 

[_Rooster]

I have to lay off

Why? For making ne hungry? I like eating some carbon based life form parts. Fruits, meats & vegetables. I like milk and milk products too. Just not with my beer. I like jokes too. They keep me grinning. Now just so you have too much information. I don't eat much liver or kidney. Not because I don't like it, I do. I'd rather have it raw and that just too uncivilized. Same with bait. I cook it first.

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Are those anhinga's?

Yes either that or cormorants. They are very similar. @Rooster will know for sure. I think a cormorant inhabits a larger territory maybe even up to Alaska. Anhinga's are in much warmer coastal areas.

If I saw one like this I would call it a water turkey or snake bird. You can better identify it if the bird is swimming because an anhinga has the entire body underwater and the only thing visible is the neck and head. It looks like a snake swimming from a distance.

Gators snack off of them.

How are you on pizza? Without, ALWAYS without anchovies... I mean, pizza has milk, and wheat, and meat... THAT'S nutrition!!!! (Ala BC... Yeah, Bill Cosby...) he brought up cake but it fits!

Edit; Though if I was to have to eat an anchovy I'd surely have to have a slice of pizza wrapped around it...

We have them here but they're not as pretty. Neotropical piscivores.

They are very similar

Some friends and myself were talking politics on break earlier today, when another co-worker sat down with us. We were talking about gas prices going up, but at least the Biden voters wouldn't have mean Tweets anymore. After a couple of minutes, the co-worker just got up, and left with his head down. I'm 100% sure I know who he voted for.
