Personalities. Ever see the movie Sybil?
Ha, I doubt that I would have ever made that association. No, never watched that one. Are there titties?
Covered up, Sally Fields
Story of my life.
My wife says I have two (no not titties), personalities. The nice one and the mean one. She says I use the mean one too often. I usually answer that with quit bitching at me and that is when she gets pissed.
That was a Friday night staple growing up.......couldn't eat meat on Friday back then............
I hope that pic was taken with a remote camera...because that is really close to the tracks!

Afternoon D-league. I was tied up much of yesterday and this morning, but I haven't seen anone note Bob Dole's passing here.
He was the last of his breed in Washington, I believe. A true WW2 hero.
I met him a few times covering events in DC, and always found him to be a real decent guy.
My first meeting with him was back when I was just in my 20s, and I sort of embarrassed myself. I knew he had been wounded in the war, but it slipped my mind that his right hand was still crippled from his injuries.
I reached out to shake hands, and he very deftly reached across and took my hand with his left. He could see I was embarrassed and he winked to let me know it wasn't a problem.
Good guy. Last time I bumped into him was a few years ago when there was a fly over of the Washington Mall of all the surviving types of WW2 planes. A buddy and I were walking down to get a good view, and there was the senator sitting in a portable chair, watching the aircraft pass by. We got to wish him well.

I was off line for nearly two months after a monsoon lightning event in late July. I've built a strong triple monitor work station. I had one last Win10 license so I used it. My son said it was slow for gaming. It only needs to not crash during a Boogie Woogie.Got it...Don may be like I am with computers...
What's going on at UL you may ask, and my response would be, what ISN'T going on at UL.
Tyra is their AD but it appears he is just a figurehead with no real power. He wanted to get rid of Mack and Satterfield but was shot down by the President. If he has a chance, it's almost a given that he'll take the Florida State job.
Satterfield will never field a team that can compete with us, so he won't be there much longer.
Mack is a dead man walking basically. Like Satterfield, he'll never put a team on the court to compete with us and a lot of their fans are already realizing this.
The NCAA is going to hammer them back to where they should have been. Not only are they the first and only Div I team to have a championship taken away, they doubled down on their Fyou to the NCAA by continuing to cheat after that in an effort to keep up with their big brother.
It's only going to get better before they make any forward progress. We laughed at them when they said they were a "football school". Turns out they were right. They will end this year with a losing record. How fitting.

I think I may use this for future reporting the local weather. It may be as accurate as any sophisticated radar.
Eat meat on a Friday that's alright,
I even l like steak on a Saturday night.
I bitch the best at your social do's,
I get high in the evening sniffing pots of glue ooh ooh ooh
Sorry, I am in one of those moods today
A cow, a pig and a chicken walk into a BBQ.
The end.

Medina Spirit, disputed winner of 2021 Kentucky Derby, dies after workout

I won a Nobel prize in Chemistry!
What is January 1?
I knew him and his wife. He was a find person.
I actually was prompted to reach out my left arm before I first met him. What a good man and he was always a friend of my company.
May God Bless his soul and reward him for his hard work.
I saw a couple of days ago that it had been proven that the horse had not been injected with steroids but rather it came from a topical ointment. I remember telling my wife when we first read the report that something would come out. My reason was the concentration level. I can't remember what it was now, but it was so incredibly small that even if it had been injected, it would have had no effect on the horse. At all.Disputed 2021 Kentucky Derby winner Medina Spirit has died. Not a good look on Baffert regardless of the cause of death.

A lot of people don't understand metrics very well. Climate change based primarily on CO2 emissions would have been laughed off long ago if a majority of people understood how small 400ppm really is.
If people had any concept of the microscopic world, they would know that a mask designed for dust is woefully ineffective against a virus. Even if you are wearing a mask deigned to protect against airborne bacteria, you are woefully unprotected against a virus. Bacteria can be viewed with a 1000x microscope. It takes an electron microscope to see a virus because they are smaller than the wavelength of visible light
It's a Jeff Foxworthy world. Instead of "here's my sign" it's "here's my mask".
Just did some quick math. If the corono virus was the size of golfball, then the size of an average bacteria would be a ball 140 feet in diameter.

Thanks for sharing those recollections Bert. Yes, he always seemed like a genuine person.
I saw that yesterday. For some reason I had thought he died years ago.
I'm sure the handshake thing had happened to him thousands of times,
And fell behind by about 750 "likes."
Day after New Year's Eve.
Heard he got the covid jab a couple days back.Disputed 2021 Kentucky Derby winner Medina Spirit has died. Not a good look on Baffert regardless of the cause of death.

I'm sure that's right Chief. He'd learned to handle it with grace -- if it had ever bothered him in the first place.
Here's a good account of his wartime service.
As an aside, it seems crazy that the American high command was launching those deadly battles against the dug in Germans in the mountains of Italy in April, 1945 when the Russians were in the suburbs of Berlin and the Americans and British were overrunning light resistance in Western Germany. I guess war just takes on its own momentum and nobody stepped back and said, "we'll pin the Germans down with artillery and airstrikes and see what happens when Berlin and all Germany goes under."

Yep. Most of the Italian campaign was a cluster. A meatgrinder.
And that is when Kentucky plays.
"The 2022 Vrbo Citrus Bowl will kick off at 1 pm on Saturday, Jan. 1".
What do you not understand?
Around here we celebrate Christmas Eve Eve and New Years Eve Eve. they were both right there and easy to add on.
He was joking Bert. Sorry.
Lots of things, but concerning this subject, nothing now. I always know the date of NYD (OK, maybe not the year), but not necessarily the day of the week it's on.
Darn! On the bus now. Got selected as part of a civil suit jury. Trial expected to last until 12/14.
I am not happy.
I am not happy.
I only had to sit for one trial and it was to give a lady power of attorney for her daughter who was severely handicapped. It is basically a formality and the judge told us up front she didn't like it and that Kentucky was one of a handful of states that still require a jury trial.
You never know about those things. My daughter was on a jury for a civil suit between a man and wife vs a bank. It concerned osha regulations and how certain work was handled. When the jury first started deliberating . the jury was going to give the verdict for the bank. Turns out my daughter has a degree in osha stuff and was working for a major insurance company. She told them she worked daily with that kind of stuff and explained to the jury the proper way things were supposed to be done. The jury then voted for the couple. Without her the couple would have lost. What are the odds an expert in the field just happened to be on the jury? I always wondered if the couples lawyer realized how lucky he was that he won despite not being smart enough to get an osha expert to testify.
