D-League

[_Rooster]

Lots of sad and weird stuff out there.

The stuff is exacerbated by an inability to discern fact from fantasy, creating mental confusion. So as most mammals, frightened apes will follow the leader. If leaders don't know, they are conditioned to fake it. In a chaotic stampede of ignorance, many innocent are being swept off the cliff.
I see folks walking down the street waving their arms wildly and talking to voices in their head. Saw it as a kid. Sometimes intoxicated but not always. Like the gentleman on the subway, people haven't changed. When seeing this disfunction my Mammaw would murmur. "He (or she) ain't right". Both compassion and caution required for society to heal seems to be in short supply these days.​

I was at a Roses store when the fire broke out a Family Fair.......before the fire dept got there people were riding bicycles out the front door and carrying everything that could be carried.....every place I lived as a kid was along or near to Cane Run Rd..........I put a lot of miles walking that road........I worked at a Kentucky Fried Chicken just a couple of blocks north of this picture..........prior to the KFC opening there was a Probus Liqour/Restruant that had the best fried chicken in town right up the street on the left.

Slot cars are pretty damn fun, with upgraded equipment (tuned cars, variable power supply, track wired for braking, digital lap timing system, beefed up controllers with 90 ohm resistors etc. )

It's nothing like the toys we had as kids. (cars flying off everywhere, two speeds: dead stop and full out etc.)

Beautiful routed track with a tuned car from Viper Scale

When Bass Pro opened they had a black Friday promo for a racing set with two cars and 128 ft of track.......having six young grandsons at the time it was easier to have multiple tracks.....when they come to Camp Paw they spend hours with the racing set......since the twins are going to be 10 this year they are going to take it home.......by the time the great grand children get oldget old enough to play with it I will not be able to bend over to help them put it together.............

Probus sold draft by the quart to go. It was on the right traveling south from Wilson across Algonquin. Closer than 18th/Dixie Highway. I remember other catastrophes too. Mike Linnig's burning down, DuPont in Rubbertown blowing up.​

Speaking of baseball, the Reds team president and the son of the owner made some comments yesterday that didn't go over so we'll.

Castellini apologizes to fans: 'I understand how our fans feel and I'm sorry'

In an interview Tuesday, Reds president Phil Castellini told fans to 'be careful what you ask for' when calling for ownership changes.

DuPont in Rubbertown blowing up.​

I remember that well. We lived next to Iroquois golf course and I felt the ground shake prior to hearing the first explosion. I had time to ask my friends if they felt that. There were several more that followed, each just as loud as the last.

If environmentalists of today were old enough to remember how dirty Louisville was in those days, they might say "hey, this is pretty good".

He should know better than to tell the truth in todays social environment. Lies are much more palatable to the masses.

1. We ran outside and could see the smoke plumes.
2. The river is cleaner and not by accident. The streets not safer or cleaner because of denial. The cost for the neglect will be some 20-40 years.
3. With economy and ecology being essentially the same word, mono-culture simplicity creates conditions susceptible to plagues and loss of adaptability needed for developement/maintenance of sustainable systems. The incompetency just boggles my mind and for me incomprehensible. It really is like the "Acid Heads" of 1970 San Francisco have been put in charge. I write that because it's the last time I can even recall hearing such insanity.

Speaking of the Reds, I am watching right now and they are behind Cleveland 6-0 in the 5th. Lost to Cleveland yesterday 10-5.

Edited: Meant to comment also on the amount of fans there today. It looked so sparce that there was probably about 10% or less in the seats.

I posted a couple of weeks ago about a friend and former employee who the docs recently gave 5 to 6 months. He barely made it two weeks. He was a good man.

Really sorry Bernie. Prayers for his family. I have no doubt that he was a good man.

We are experiencing a huge supply and services shortage down this way.

My wife's car has been disabled for 5 weeks due to the inability to get a fuel line.
I need some work on my irrigation system and that will take 8 weeks
I want to replace one of the field lines from my septic tank. How about 5 months!
We are remodeling two bathrooms and I signed a contract 6 weeks ago with the understanding they can not do the work for another 5 months. It is taking 90 days to get tile for the flooring so I made an advance payment so they could get that ordered now.

Meanwhile all of these trades are increasing in price so I locked in the cost by signing a contract. No other way to handle it, this gets my name on the list. There are several reasons for this and most important are getting supplies. When America shut down this created a huge backlog. We are experiencing unbelievable growth and that adds to the issue.

I'm still waiting for a passenger side view mirror for my Mazda. It hasn't been nearly as long but come on! This should be an easy one.

Amazing athlete. I thought he was a decent actor too. Loved him in The Dirty Dozen and The Running Man.

I'm not an expert when it comes to Doppler radar images but I do know that "red" is not good. "Red" is heading our way and really soon. I hate "red".

Cousin on Nolin Lake in Grayson County just texted me and said they lost electricity, but are okay.

Burt Reynolds is in it too. Raquel's stage presents are on display.

We're fine here. Had a 60mph roll through with heavy rain. Maybe 5 minutes of action. Light rain after that.

About six weeks ago a big pickup truck backed into the front of my wife's car in a parking lot. They admitted fault. Front bumper and grill, hood, fender and headlight. Got it in the shop 2 1/2 weeks ago and still waiting on parts. $4K in damages from a light hit. I'm driving a rental they provided but those costs will be added on.

 

[starchief5]

Where's wildcatdon? He OK?

 

[AustinTXCat]

Where's wildcatdon? He OK?

He was last seen on April 5th. I'll try calling him soon.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning from ATX. Currently 59ºF and clear. Today's high expected around 85ºF.

Day 7 and we're on a roll. Gobbled down our last pill at 4:15 am. Yesterday, she ate 3 cans prescription dog food plus 1/4 lb boiled chicken. Stool returning to normal.

Tornadoes hit north of us this past Tuesday. 61 structures in Bell County, Texas destroyed. Active storm season. We've been lucky. Cousin just texted me back from Nolin Lake. Still no power since last night.

Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

You mentioned another thing that has increased in price to a point of being ridiculous. Car rental.

Audi offered me a replacement car when I had the car towed to the service department. They must have thought it would be a fast repair. And it should have been.

But I couldn't justify taking a car and letting it sit in my driveway for weeks and weeks. Listening to the radio this morning was depressing because the girl said all of this is going to get worse. Let's Go Brandon

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Good morning all,

I just refilled my cup of the doctor ordered black cup of coffee. My doctor told me to drink it every day. Well we are waking up to a dark morning, the sun should be up in an hour.

Our weather is warming up a little day by day. We have 70° at the present and will move up to 82° by midafternoon. Clouds are moving through. I think winter is behind us and Easter Sunday was always the day my mother would say put away the sweaters and jackets for the next 6 or 7 months.

There is something about a redheaded woman and cowboy boots.

Have a great day all.

I've had 3 price increases on raw goods for manufacture since Dec.

Good morning, D-League

My hope for today is that the communists, nazis, dictators, and fascists that know what they're doing is wrong and will never repent - publicly choke on their own spit and keel over or have their real deeds exposed in front of millions of people or both, never to return to office again. I want them to be prosecuted and serve real time. Yet, I also want God's will to be done, so however he needs this to play out I will accept it.

May you all find His peace and may His spirit rest upon you as faithful children of the Most High, seeking his will upon the face of the earth.
