Good rainy morning. Humpday is upon us already.
D-League
- Thread starter Wildcat Droppings
- Start date
It is a rainy 64.2°F. We have received 1.84" of rain so far. We can sure use it.
On war movies, a few more come to mind:
Windtalkers
We were Soldiers
Valkyrie
Tora, Tora, Tora
Dirty Dozen
Bridge over the River Kwai
Farewell to the King

Doesn't she still have to pay a deductible? The Director likes to give the body and repair shop a test about ever 18 months or so.......we have more in body and fender work than we do the car......I would be rich if she didn't keep us in the insurance pool........Bill Estecorn's in Buechel sends her a fruit basket every Christmas.......something about her being a loyal customer......Good morning from ATX. Currently 69°F and partly cloudy. Calm. Increased chances for showers begin around noon. Today's high could top out around 83°F. We'll take it.
Found out yesterday some lady crashed into my daughter as she sat at a stop sign. Daughter okay, but her car is not. Lady's insurance should repair the damage. Stay tuned.
Happy Hump Day!
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.
Yeah, she may have to pay a deductible, I'm unsure. My daughter's first wreck ever. Other driver's insurance company might also total the car.

As I expected. It sure did keep horse racing on the front pages for a few weeks though, so there's that.
Vampire or Zombies? 😵
Lol. Thankfully, no, but unfortunately a completely valid question
Kinda looks like me getting out of the truck.........when I come home after a night of making music with the boys.......just kidding....... 🙄
seems like getting your name in the news is good .........even if what you did was bad.......
Let's make a quick list...
- can't cut down trees for any reason (unless there's a TP and/or mask shortage)
- can't use fossil fuels for any reason (unless other systems fail and we can't play video games online)
- can't do nuclear energy for any reason (within 5 years of a nuclear plant or waste storage facility systems failure anyway otherwise it's fine)
- can't eat animals for any reason (unless we're starving or live near abject poverty in some other country)
- religion is bad for any reason (unless you're hindu, muslim, jewish, or pagan, wiccan, buddhist, or blue-skinned and worship trees)
- genders are evil for any reason (unless you're talking about the first woman VP or sexual preference)
- being non-heterosexual is not a lifestyle choice for any reason (except when we decide to try something different than what we were born to desire...)
- corporations are evil for any reason (unless they are bribing our candidate, donating to our causes, broadcasting our propaganda, bailing out our criminals/rioters, or making their products in a country that hates women, gays, and other minorities)
- lying, misogyny, adultery, murder, and abuse are all bad for any reason (unless it comes from or is done by a democrat, union leader, left-leaning .org leader, left-leaning journalists, left-leaning corporate officer, left-leaning judge/politician, a left-leaning actor or actress, or China)
Feel free to add to the list...

Tora Tora tora was the name I couldn't remember! Kept thinkin... "Can't be torah cause it's not Jewish" lol
Deductible should be paid by whomever is at fault, unless you're in Illinois or some such. There are states where just being there gives you some liability for the accident, making you pay a deductible regardless
Good rainy morning. Humpday is upon us already.
Wow. Somebody ripped off that "Have You Ever Seen Lorraine" song! Not a bad change to the lyrics, but I'm a purist that way.
Mein fuhrer ... das blitzkreig ist kapoot! zum Rückzug blasen!
Read the book and saw the movie. The movie plays loosely with the facts and totally makes up the ending for dramatic effect but is still good.
Just for info, I'm not in the reading group, but I have read the bible completely through twice and have a set of Broadman Bible Commentaries with comments on each verse that I've read completely through.
One war movie I don't think anyone has mentioned....The Longest Day. Big cast...but watching it now seems a little hokey. Maybe it's just me. It's one of YouTube's movies now. Watched it again just a few weeks ago.
Another one...Battle of the Bulge with Henry Fonda. Think I like it better.

I'll add my war movie list. Lot's of good ones mentioned already:
1. Midway-76
2. In Harm's Way- Duke and Kirk
3. Apocalypse Now
4. Patton
5. Where Eagles Dare-Clint
6. Force Ten from Navarone- Quint and Jaws
7. Inglorious Bastards
8. Platoon
9. Das Boot
10. Saving Private Ryan
Could probably do ten more just as good as these.

Thanks, but I don't want to make a commitment I can't be 100% sure on right now.
Good afternoon D, rainy ole day, 1.7 so far!
Got the granddaughter today, while mom, our daughter does some grocery shopping and house cleaning.
Have a great day D, Prayers!!!!

My oldest goes for her license Friday and I'm scared to death. It's not her driving I worry about, but other people's driving. Around here, they take their half of the road, but it's the middle half, leaving you with the edges.
When mine reached driving age, I told her to think about the dumbest person in her class. Then I told her to think about how many classes there have been with a person like that in the past. Then I told her that all those people are out on the road with her. Hopefully it did some good.
2.17" now in Smiths Grove. I am glad we got it. We needed it.
On the granddaughter thing; you are a lucky man.
Really good list.
My problem is that I can't make a good list because I don't know which ones I like the best as they are all different.
I left out Das Boot and it is really good. Apocalypse Now scares me.
Coach K retiring? Interesting. First Cryin' Roy now Ratface. That's really going to change the look of the ACC. Of course they'll probably still be the darlings of the media and the powers that be in the NCAA.
There's an Apocalypse Now extended version with all kinds of scenes that were not in the original. I believe it has almost an hour of stuff not in the original.
On to a different theme. My old friend from High School that I see a couple times a week came by yesterday. This is what she brought Sherry and Bert.
Please note the weight of the cauliflower. 4 pounds. The onion was a disappointing 1/2 pound, I was hoping for more. The romaine is massive. Kentucky is productive.

Come to think of it, he may have been the one to write the headline, since he gets so confused.
We have our two grand daughters for several days......Camp Granny........Camp Paw starts when the boys come......we don't have the patience for seven kids all at one time......we used to do it that way.......now we only have a couple kids stay at a time......Good times......we really don't see them that often and by having a couple kids stay at a time it is easier give undivided attention for a few days which is better for them.......having a gang around makes it hard to give everyone the attention they want.....
I have taught all of our grandchildren to swim and those that are old enough......to drive.......my latest driving student was full of enthusiasm to back my truck out of the drive last week.......I don't know how much it will cost to get my tailgate repaired.....I was able to straighten out the mailbox......I have had him out driving a bunch of times in the Director's Ford Escape......this was his first.......and last try........in my 2017 that has almost 25K miles on it......I was commenting a couple of weeks ago that it hadn't received the first ding since I drove it off of the lot.......,so much for that.........
I like them both. Recorded Battle of the Bulge and beside Henry Fonda, it has Robt Ryan, Robt Shaw, Dana Andrews and George Montgomery. Not quite the all-star cast of The Longest Day, but pretty good.
With K of Duke finally retiring, here's my favorite memory of him. Maybe a little out of place here. But worth a watch if you have time.
Just keep around a lot of Debbie Cakes, and freeze pops. Everything will be fine.
You know, I liked that movie a lot as a kid. I'd probably like it if I watched it today. But Dwight Eisenhower hated it. I guess he felt it overplayed the degree to which the Americans were surprised, though that's an historical fact. In any case, he actually came out of retirement in 1965 to hold a press conference describing the movie as BS...LOL. Like I say, I enjoyed it, historical innacuracies aside. I especially remember the scene with Robert Shaw firing up the doomed young Nazis to sing the Panzerlied...
