Happy Birthdays all around!!
D-League
- Thread starter Wildcat Droppings
- Start date
Kind of a sad day here. Our next door neighbor moved out and the new one will move in this week. Nice folks. Hate to see them leave but they bought a huge house in Cherokee Triangle. I really hope the new gal that moves in is a stunner. hahahaha
Never a huge fan of Mark Story, but he brings up some good points.
4) No UK team has ever made a Final 4 with a player named Roscoe.
Coincidence? You decide.

There's low pressure located in central arizona headed towards the colorado plateau. Likely bringing windy conditions over the next couple of days as this spins across the continental divide and high plains of Texas. I suspect this to draw plenty of moisture from the gulf and sky to continue falling this coming weekend.

Good evening, D-League!
New puppy in the house. Gift for our daughter. Will contact when house training is complete. Do not attempt extraction at this time. Could be a trap. Poop and pee everywhere. Mass hysteria. Only thing that keeps me sane is the cornbread and beans I'm cookin!
Hope y'all are doing great. Praying for the D-L!

Loved George Carlin. hippy dippy weatherman goes waay back.
Damn Duke won. This has been a really bad weekend. Lady Cats lose. UNC, Duke, Kansas and UCLA advance to the Sweet 16. Murray State loses. The SEC is shatting the bed. Wife is staying the night with her psycho mother. Ugh! At least my scrambled eggs and bacon turned out GREAT! I'll be watching Dunkirk in 4K.
Wow, before SJW rules making it hate speech I thought fruit sex was between two gay guys.😁
Cal sure has freed up my March and early April weekends these past 6 years or so. Getting a lot more done. Even during Tubbys last 6 I was watching every game. Seems I care less and less about basketball each year. I keep expecting him to say, "We don't care about ANY tournaments. Just the draft." This is the next slide down the slippery slope of low expectations he's setting here.
We should be playing the best competition, home and away, not dodging travel tournaments that players and fans love, recruiting AND developing players, and caring about conference titles and tournaments, as well as records and reputations of the University of Kentucky basketball program.
Those things need to be written into the employee and coaches handbook. Not caring about them and not performing up to standards should be grounds for termination. All basketball coaching contracts should be written as incentivized contracts with the potential for millions if milestones are achieved. We keep guaranteeing money to coaches only to see them slack off after titles, and it shouldn't be surprising to anyone. There is NO INCENTIVE for Cal to do anything except recruit
Sawnee - wondering why he was being ordered to report to the CO.
Love birds are again nesting in my untidy 25' fan palm. It's the first time in about 5 years in this palm. These ornamental birds really like sunflower seeds and ornamental flowers. I see them everyday at the the 2 sunflower seed feeders. They shred palm fronds and pack them to the nest site tucked in their feathers. These are subsidized LGBs (Little Green Birds).
Actually my first experience with old world parrots of any species and I find their family life interesting.. Glad to have the nesting back. I can now tell adults from fledglings and know what I'm looking at. Adults bring their young to the sunflower seeds. Hang out with the young until they start eating and they join others their age as a flock of the adolescent rosy-faced love birds. As young mature rapidly with mortality likely high, the flock consists of immatures of all levels of maturity. The adult birds continue to bring the young birds to feeders in the morning. Adults feed their immature young until they know what and where.
Pecking order recognition via intensity of redness of head levels? I don't know this but hormone control eye color is believed associated with recognition of maturity/hormone rage for accipiters. Being green these suckers vanish in foliage. When the these adolescents without this rosy faceness show up, flocking hell breaks out. The rosy-faced adults quickly restore order . . . . with their beak. These birds do not segregate by color they segregate by what appears hormone maturity creation of super flock behaviors governed by these hormones. These birds socialize and pair off in their respective mixed family flocks of immatures. They are pairing and breeding as sub-adult. Also observed in other species of birds.
First time I've ever observed some kind of lovebird response I can only describe as some kind of a bird funeral. One morning several years ago a small flock was making huge racket so I went outside to see what was going on. I saw that one got itself hung up (scissored) between 2 lodged palm fronds in my palm and by the time I could rescue the little thing died. I placed it on a stump and small flocks of 2 -4 birds took turns flying down and vocalizing. Dozens did this over at least 30 mins. I feel this to be anthropomorphic nonsense but what I saw.
Maybe nothing has changed since Chicxulub except no thunder dragons and lots of mammals.

Likely because they're glorified lizards with gizzards.
Only one SEC team makes the Sweet 16, Arkansas. Pitiful. I'd like to hear what Jimmy Dykes says now. This wasn't just a flame out it was an embarrassment. Bad 4 days of basketball. Worst case scenario.

I was right about the Big 10. They only have 2 teams left after the first weekend. Never thought the SEC would do so badly though.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 59°F and raining. Chance for rain most of the day. We may top our around 78°F for our high.
And then there were Sixteen. Quite a weekend for college basketball. SEC disappointed everyone. Big XII has 3 teams playing next weekend.
Power just went off here twice earlier for about one minute each time. Cable box still trying to come back on. Modern problems.
Monday, Monday....
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Puppy free minute. 46° out on its way to a non-florida-balmy 70°. Rain coming in tomorrow night or Wednesday.

36.9°F and sunny. We are on our way to 73°. I look forward to that.
Ritchie leaves today. I had a fun weekend, I just wish that UK could have make it a great weekend. Auburn stunk really bad in their second game. They got it handed to them by Miami. I never expected that.
Work on taxes today. I hate it.

Last Thursday and Saturday shall live infamously with regards to Kentucky Basketball history.
70° and sunny not a cloud in the sky. Our high will be a breezy 82° with 0% chance of rain.
I have the 2022 basketball season on the bottom shelf and will move forward. So much to do and my candle is burning at both ends so to speak. I have a whole lot of yard work to do and then get ready for planting. Our landscape had severe damage over the winter months but l have a plan.

Strange things are happening at the gas pump around America. In our area gasoline for regular is down 5 cents a gallon from last week but diesel fuel is up $1.00 a gallon. Truckers have to be upset about this.

Good afternoon! Went to the golf course this morning for free coffee and to talk about the Cats with an old friend. He countered each and every emotional complaint I had about Cal with a factual counterpoint. As we were talking I realized that I was still in the second stage of grief. I was angry.
I'm skipping the rest of it and going straight to acceptance. Never been one to follow unnecessary rules.
I am not only looking forward to next year, regardless of who comes, stays, or leaves. I am also glad that Cal will be the one putting them together and showing them how to play as a team while he treats some as scum and others as superstars. I'm fine with what happens. I do reserve the right to be passive / aggressive if I decide to be either.

My house is the same age as me. It needs help. Won't go in to the whole deal, but, I feel like the house has settled over the years and reduced the slope of my main sewer pipe under the house. I've seen a video of the inside of the pipe from my end to the street and there is nothing wrong with the pipe at all.
Needless to say, it is cast iron, and therefore no modification to that pipe is realistic. What I'm looking at is re-plumbing the entire house. My wife told me last night that she didn't care how much it cost, get it done. I'll have the last laugh there. I will not enjoy it though.

One more thing and I'm done. Would one of you guys please tell Cal these guys are not machines. They're not computers! Tell him that if they were, then you could easily micromanage them as they were performing their intended purpose.
Tell him he's dealing with humans and none of those like being told what to do the entire time they are trying to do something. He becomes redundant and mundane early in the game.
Thanks!

- Totally agree given new information. your free to have 2 (or more) opinions.
- If a player doesn't want to play for UK . . . bye.
Mine too, a major reason why ya'll haven't seen more of me. That and the silly mask requirement.

I know the feeling. My house was built in 1998. Because of the railroad moving me all the time this is the first house that we have ever had to maintain. In my working days we would move somewhere and be there for 5 years or less and leave.
Now I have replaced three air conditioners/heaters, roof, gutters, screen in the screened-in porch, all four toilets, hot water heater, 6 windows and 2 doors. Now that does not count what needs to be done this year.
Get er done.
Someone, maybe Sawnee, was talking about the church of scientology the other day. I got an order for 24 shades through a third party from them in Clearwater on Fort Harrison Ave.
