That reminds me of the time early 1988 when I was going through Lexington area on 75 headed for Cincy to meet a friend. I was in a 1987 Ford Bronco 4X4 5.0 liter engine and was testing what it could do because I had just bought it. I was Running a bit late on leave from Drill Sergeant duties and we did not have cell phones back then to call my friend to let him know i was going to be late. So, I was trying to get there on time when a state trooper pulled me over and ask did I know how fast I was going. I said: "105?" He says no, "I clocked you at 100" He also told me that over 20 miles over the speed limit (55 at the time) meant a little jail time. He then ask why I was going so fast and I told him why and I was on leave from FT. Sill. I had my DI hat on the dash (always did, got me out of a couple of tickets in Oklahoma already) of my Bronco and he ask if he could see it. After looking at it he said; "Well Drill Sergeant since I don't want you to have to spend any time in jail I will clock you at 75 and you can pay that fine as long as you promise to keep it under 60 from here on out." I happily agreed I]and went on my merry way. Still ran a bit faster than the speed limit but only 5 to 10 miles over it after that.

Help me. I don't recognize the other woman. Thanks.My cousin recently retired from Southwest Airlines, where she worked nearly 30 years as a flight attendant. She also worked for Pan Am during the 80s.
Here she is in the middle next to someone y'all might remember.
Not a gopher, but seems crazy that they need to keep making the tourney courses longer to accommodate the pros. Use a bigger ball, require a minimum loft on club heads, something. Phil suggested moving weight of ball to the center to make their flight more erratic.
I agree. Let them play with an official ball that is certified for professional use. A liquid center, as Phil suggested, would allow for more sidespin as well as decreased distance. Don't make ME play with them though.
I always liked Ed Asner because once in the late 1970s when he was at the peak of his popularity he told an interviewer that what he really wanted to do in life was work on an oil pipeline crew or a fishing boat in Alaska but he didn’t have the nerve to “go for a life of adventure.” He may have been just laying down a line of BS but for some reason it made him seem more of a real person than the typical Hollywood sissy.My cousin recently retired from Southwest Airlines, where she worked nearly 30 years as a flight attendant.

Whew...busy Labor Day weekend at the lake. I hope everyone had a safe one. Plus it was nice seeing the CATS getting off to a good start to the FB season!
Hmmm ... multi-millionaire celebrity worth $12.5M with a nice Hollywood home? Or pipeline/fishing boat laborer? Let me think about this for a minute.

Yeah? I could have been somebody instead of a bum.
Her name was Ed? Well OK.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 73°F and clear. Some clouds moving in later. Today's high expected at around 97°F. Received some spotty rain yesterday. Above average temperatures remaining until at least next Monday.
Watched first half of Cards vs Ole Miss from Atlanta last night. Rebels led by 26 at the half and went on to win by 19.
Hope everyone had a great Labor Day.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Good morning D-League. It's currently 58° and foggy here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring sunny skies and a high of 84°.
Everyone stay safe out there today.

Morning Legionnaires!
High 90's through the week until Friday and the weekend. 100's expected then. Still too freaking hot. I need some cooler weather.
Watched Ole Miss not miss kicking little siss's ass last night. Yeyah. Who did not see that coming. So much for them being a football school now.
Good morning D, beautiful here in the Berg, 58!
Read Zechariah 2 this morning.
I hope everyD had a great labor day! This may be the last one we have, I heard they are going to try and find another name for it, because it's offensive to those that don't like working!!!!
I hope the D has a great day and prayers for the D!!!!

She's a cutie. Bet her name is Terri
Feels like Fall in the Buckeye State. Low 60s out there now heading up to the low 80s. Plenty of sunshine. Just a beautiful morning.
Hope everyone had a good weekend...and now back to work for those of you who still do that kind of thing.
Me? Think I'll be trimming my row of bushes again for the umpteenth time this Summer.
Grass turned about 4 shades greener after the rain late Saturday...and started growing again. Don't have my electronic rain gauge set up right now...but my old fashion glass gauge in one of the flower gardens said we got 3 inches.
Y'all have a good day.

It's currently 74° with partly cloudy skies. We have a 40% chance of rain this afternoon and a high of 82°. We may have seen the last of 90° weather this year and we had very few this summer. It was probably the coolest summer I have experienced in all my years living in Florida.
With that said it is Football Season and I hope the team does not go WOKE. I see the NFL is going down that path and this will be another year I do something else on Sunday instead of watching football. I am fed up with that junk.
Y'all have a great day.

Good morning to the D-L!
UL is finally a football school.
Biden is finally acting presidential.
People should NOT be prescribed HCQ in combination with zinc and zpac for c19 unless they are or are married to a prominent national or dem politician like Amy klobuchar or Karen Whitsett.
Saw an official stand up to the head official in a collegiate game and correct a bad call. Rewound it and replayed it over a hundred times in honor of all the other blown calls I saw in the 3 games I watched this weekend. Thank God the nfl hadn't started yet.
Golf- The league or association needs to provide the same balls for every tournament, and every set of clubs should be the same as well. They don't really care or they'd do both of those things.

It is great to see people traveling again. I took four flights over the Labor Day weekend and every single one was packed. Not a seat to be had. All overhead storage was completely full and they checked carry on bags.
TAKE THAT BIDEN. UP YOURS

Howdy D-League. Back at work, but at least it is a short week. Taking off Friday for a three-day weekend at a nice hotel facing the Atlantic Ocean in Rehoboth, Delaware.
I hope it is a good day for everyone here.

Good morning folks. Just got back in from going outside to get cold! It was 57°F when I got up. It has been a while since it was that cool here. Now two hours later it is still only 60.8°F on our way to 84.
Glad to see Swanee back home. He was one hour away from me and did not take the time! Bad.
MdWildcat when you go through Delaware show Biden the bird!
You folks have a good day. I plan on being lazy.

I regret not being able to go up your way Bert. I was traveling as a guest and on a very tight schedule. It was a quick trip to celebrate my cousins birthday that was a surprise and put on by her manager and publicist. She has the same manager/agent as Barbara Mandrell and Brenda Lee. We had a great tour behind the scenes and had to get on back to Florida. I would love to come up and will try my best to make it happen.Good morning folks.

This is my cousin on my daddy's side of the family.
And another one at work.
Interesting morning. Found a homeless woman sleeping in a box at the nearby O'Reilley Auto Parts parking lot. I worried she might get hit by some motorist driving carelessly. Woke her and asked if she needed help. She looked up, said nothing and returned to sleep. Another homeless gal nearby was playing on her phone.
Me and Mrs. M were discussing an art that I would like to teach my grandsons, it is the fine art of flying a June Bug!!! The problem is that I have not seen any of them in a while!!!! Don't want to miss out on teaching them this!!!!

One of the performers I saw at the Opry last Saturday night was a young 19 year old girl from Lexington, KY, Anne Wilson. She made history by having her first record go to #1. Last night was her first appearance on the Opry and she made a unbelievable impression. Not a bit of nervousness and she rocked the house with 3 songs. She will be back. The first time she sang in public was at the funeral of her 23 year old brother killed in a car wreck.

Told my daughter about that last month as we were surrounded by them. Used to tie thread to their legs and fly them around.
Correct, I know you worked for a living, but yes SIR!!!!
Here's a 1956 recording of a Fats Domino tune by some guys called the Four Lovers. They would find mild success later as Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons.

So I walk into Costco today - needed gas & wine - and they had a sign up for free FLU vaccine shots. Me being me - all-in on free & vaxes - I race back to the pharmacy. And Costco being Costco, it was closed for the next 35 minutes. I mean it seems like it's closed half the times I'm there.
Oh to be 19 again. KENTUCKY PUTS OUT SOME BEAUTIFUL WOMEN
But then I see this and am thankful I was born when I was.
Being the pragmatic soul that I am, I decided a long time ago that Labor Day would be the only day I work. All the other days I refer to as "retirement".
Costco? That sounds pretty gay of you. (i mean that in the nicest nonjudgmental way)
I stayed up last night to watch my second most favorite team take on the dirty birds in front of tens of people. First half was awesome but in the second half, against 2nd and 3rd string SEC players the pigeons were afforded some free points. I didn't like that part but continued to watch.
Next Saturday the birds will play my second favorite team, Eastern Kentucky.
Shaedon Sharpe commits to the Cats! Huge!
My 78th birthday is coming up in a few weeks, the average lifespan for a man. So, I said, what do I have to lose? I'm going to chance it.
So I made myself a pot of soup (pinto) beans with a big chunk of fatback thrown in. I then made a pan of fried potatoes in lard. Turnip greens on the side. Pan of buttermilk cornbread in my iron skillet. Cold glass of buttermilk to wash it down.
*I had to make this myself. My wife, not being a southern girl, thinks this meal is disgusting. But I had this a couple of times a week growing up and would choose it over a steak.

You're a good dude! One of the best in my opinion. I would like to treat you to lunch for dropping that news on me. Monday the 13th looks good on my calendar.
Hey pal, it's 2021! No one cares about 1980's cholesterol scares any longer. What we're concerned with is the heating source. Was it green?
