Speaking of baseball and a couple legends, here's Willie Mays shaking hands with Ty Cobb sometime during the 1950s. Too cool.
Yeah, the Longest Day should be ranked in at least the top 10. like that opening title song too.
My description of Camp Paw is.........It's like camping out in the concession stand and nothing is put away....and the pool is open 24/7........
Speaking of Ty Cobb, this leaves me an opening to speak of my childhood sports hero. Ty Cobb once said that Stan Musial was the closest thing to a perfect baseball player he had ever seen.Speaking of baseball and a couple legends, here's Willie Mays shaking hands with Ty Cobb sometime during the 1950s.

.
BTW despite his reputation, in his later years, Cobb was a very nice person, often helping down on their luck former players. He had invested his money wisely and was a very wealthy man. He had invested in Coca Cola and GM on the ground floor.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 64°F and clear. Another round of storms and showers moving our way shortly. Today's high may reach 82°F.
Saw on local news just now about beef prices changing daily due to the hack last week. Now seems like a great time for work in cybersecurity ..... until your own organization gets hacked.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Good morning,
All can expect one crisis after another until they are stopped since it has been found out how to create a national crisis now. Oil, building materials, Beef, what is the next one. Oh and there WILL be the "next one". What else do Americans like the most... Take your pick...
Oh I do pray God intervenes again in this attempt to destroy this country. Stay vigilant and stay on your knees praying as much as possible. God Bless you and your families.

Good morning D-League. Heading out to battle the swarming cicadas. I thought they were nearing their end here, but more and more keep joining the party.
Otherwise, just plowing through a lot of work.
One more movie to add to the list: Black Hawk Down. Having been in Mogadishu for a few months the a short time before those events happened, I thought they did a pretty good job capturing the place, with one exception: Too many of the "Somalis" were built like NFL linebackers. THe real Somalis were, without exception, built like No. 2 pencils.
I hope its a calm day for everyone.

Yes we have no cicadas, we have no cicadas today.
Here in Elgin OK we don't have any. We have a few each year (those not on the regular 17 year plan) but, none this year. Man, I wanted me some for my fishing bait.
Good morning D, still dreary day here, but the rest of the week looks good!!!
Keeping the granddaughter was a delight yesterday!!! I have told the D she is autistic, but she is so smart!!! We are working with sign language with her, One funny thing, her dad taught her to sign daddy is beautiful, so her teacher taught her to sign stinky daddy!!!!! We kept her for over 6 hours yesterday, not a whimper from her. She does not like to eat hardly anything but McDonalds, but she loves Mrs. M grilled cheese and when she wants one she gets in a certain chair to let us know that she wants her grilled cheese!!!
Read 62&63 this morning.
I hope the D has a great day and always Prayers for the D!!!!

Had a real good time visiting the SIL and BIL... Sure glad the SIL is doing well. We thought we were going to lose her.
BOB (Big Ole Boy) was a blast to have with us and he sure got along well with his second Grandma and Grandpa.
I DO wish I could have met up with many of you though. It is a shame. My BIL and I had some serious time together and we understand a lot better where we were during our time estranged from each other. (Won't go into further details but this time together was needed. For posterity if anything else. I am thankful.)
The guy is a wizard in many areas. He gave me several items I was shocked to receive...
He buys his ammo in bulk and gave me these and a couple boxes of .380 shells. (I'd have shared had we been able to meet up.)
At a cross roads...
My youngest was born at Hardin Memorial and now it is named Baptist Health...
Stopped at a military memorial that was built since we lived there... (I didn't think to take a picture when my BIL showed me the replica of the Wall from the Vietnam war memorial...)
E'Town has sure grown a lot since we were there and it seems for the better. (Just a visual as our time was so short.)
My Darling was sure impressed again with the home sites there and the amenities the place was lacking from our time there. My grandson ran every inch a few times of my BIL's and SIL's approximately three acre lot. I have tons of video running after that boy. Just laughing and laughing...
(Edit: My youngest wasn't with us, just her son but when her cousin told her what nurses were making there and also as she was born there she was ready to move...)
My darling and daughter have the itch to move back but I will give them time to cool down and see how they feel then.
God Bless you all...

I guess Rivals server has rendering problems. It's possible for me to post using Microsoft Edge, but not Firefox. Have not tried with other browsers.
Edit: Just as soon as I posted, Viola! Back to normal.

Good morning D-League. It's currently 65° and rainy, with thunderstorms and a high of 74° expected later today.
Everyone stay safe out there today.

It's the renderings that make the gravy taste good!
Was on here earlier and couldn't post using Firefox, Chrome, or Edge. Things were all messed up I guess.
Morning all.
I tried to post at 6:00 AM EST and could not. This is the first time I was able to do it. Crazy
I was having trouble with my phone as well. When I would go to click on something, I would get a link about Rivals maintenance.
The FDA put out a warning yesterday about not eating cicadas if you were allergic to shellfish. That shouldn't be a problem for most.
"You can smoke crawdad's but first you need a little pot." -G. Moses...
Heck they put out that same warning for gizzards but that never stopped'em...
Maybe Joe has created a bandwidth shortage along with steaks, hamburger, ribs, gas, plywood, 2x4s....and the list goes on. Rapidly turning into a 3rd world country.
Thought I'd never see empty shelves in America.

One of America's beautiful walkways -- around the title basin, especially when the Cherry Trees are blossoming. But really any time. When I start doing my walks around DC again instead of out in the Maryland burbs, I suspect some scenes I've taken for granted will seem fresh to me, like this one.Good morning D-League.

Good morning D League
My devotions this morning included Isaiah 62 & 63. Isaiah is one of my favorite books of the Bible.
It is currently 78° with a 25% chance of thunderstorms this afternoon. Our high will be 84° this afternoon. Last night we got a hard rain with thunder and lightning which is a normal summer weather pattern for us. We need all of the rain we can get.
Yesterday I had my one year post operative doctor's visit for my spinal surgery. All was well and x-rays were very good. If I had it to do over again, I would do it 1,000 times. The doctor is brilliant. I will go back in a year for x-rays which is normal for this type of surgery. I can do anything my body allows me to now so I consider that a blessing. I could not do that a year ago.
Trust all are well and God's blessings to all.

I rubbed the crystal ball and it looks like awf and family will be eating a lot of home grown veggies, fresh duck, fresh rabbit, squab and chicken......all organically grown.......
This morning's haul. Life is wunderbar.
Morning folks. It is a cloudy 70.0°F here. I am hoping to mow before any more rain. We ended up with 2.24" yesterday and last night. That is a good rain.
Yeah...the Mrs has been on me for a few years to expand the size of the garden, and with Joe she is really pushing it this year. She went over there the other day and spread a few big, huge tarps to kill the grass so I can then till up the land easier and make the garden much bigger for a late planting of corn.
Notice I said...'so I can till up the land'. Her idea.
Don't know how much (think I'll get a wireless rain gauge) but it rained here all day...never stopped...and a little overnight. Just mowed Mon or Tues and it needs it again.
I've got one of those glass rain gauges...but I always forget to dump it. Plus, don't know how accurate they are.
Yes.....my schedule flipped around and I sat at the house.....glad you folks had a good trip and are safely back home.....
The Director grew up on a farm.......gardening and canning are just things we have always done.....once you get used to eating untainted food it's hard to go back to the store.....The Director takes care of the tomato plants and.........................and helps with canning.....
You've seen gals carrying beer mugs at Oktoberfest in Germany. Here's a similar trick taken at a San Antonio bar in 1948. This man is awesome. Note the old beer cases left.
I have an electronic one; however, the glass rain gauges are very accurate. (IF YOU EMPTY THEM!)
There are too many commercials (radio and TV).
- Listened to Matt Jones explain his Blood Pressure problem. Too much on his plate. Feel sorry for him. Say a prayer for him.
- Love that horse vs, alligator video. You have to love nature.
- Did something dumb yesterday: dropped a toothpick/flosser on the floor yesterday and did not notice that I had done that. Lola got it and chewed it into little pieces. It made her sick (thank goodness.) QB knew what she was doing, but did not communicate what she knew. I missed the toothpick and looked for it, but couldn't find it. It was a debacle. Happy ending.
- No White Tails.
- No action.
- A driving lightbulb costs $23.00.
- As you were.
- Carry on.
- Be careful out there.
- Don't fight with a policeman.
- If he tells you to stop, do not run.
- Be careful out there.
