A $1 Derby superfecta paid $321,500.10. Should have bet $2.
D-League
- Thread starter Wildcat Droppings

Remember how your parents would tell you how cheap things were? Remember when you saw for yourself how cheap things were? These are things I'm going to concentrate on when I'm filling my truck up with gas tomorrow. The trick is, don't look back. Don't ever look back. Take out the hose and hang it up. Don't look back.
Would have been cheap to bet a superfecta with 21 to win with everybody, considering how much it paid out.
Yeah that's a fact. I haven't heard if anyone actually hit the superfecta. Doubtful but...
Several people hit it. Had to be a few million in the superfecta pool.
Damn! I hate those people.
Prolly the same people who killed Kenny. Those bastards!
Was that your gear?Memories.
No. Never had a reel to reel. Wish I did. Roomie had one that I claimed as my own. They're making a comeback believe it or not.

Same thing here. He had the best of everything. It was his only redeeming feature.
There is life in the Queen City lately. Drury with a 3 run shot in the bottom of the 5th puts the reds up 5-2 on the division leading Brewers.
Edited: No outs with runner on.

Pitching. Pitching. Pitching. Reds bats are getting better, but the pitching is still very bad. Bottom of 6th Reds 6-Brewers 5.
Kyle farmer breaks an 0-34 drought with a 3 run homer. Reds up 10-5.
My only karate student just texted me and told me that one of her dogs that she takes to the gym where she works just found a dead woman's body out back of the gym. Police are there. Will be there tomorrow to train her and get more information. The gym is in a bad neighborhood. Pictured below is police cars in parking lot of low rent housing area next to gym. Gym is off to the right with wood line behind the gym where dog found body.

I saw her sister Louise at the Foster Brooks Golf Tournament years ago. She sliced her ball into one of the tents really close to where I was standing. Couldn't have been any nicer. Made my Dad's year.

Do the Reds have a Wild Thang?
Starting to feel a Wild Card coming. It’ll be worth losing my dinner bet.
The Reds are the Rich Strike of MLB!!

Good Morning D
Woke up to a very pleasant morning with a nice 59° as we get climb to 86° this afternoon. We will have plenty of sunshine and the air quality is excellent. Thanks to a nice breeze off of the Gulf.
Today will be busy and that is always a good thing. @BBUK. Yesterday about 5:00 PM I got a call from our local Publix butcher. He called me to say the poultry truck had delivered chicken gizzards and chicken livers and he set aside 6 packs for me. I dropped everything and went straight to the store. This is the first delivery of gizzards in months. I am a happy man.
Now to fry these babies up and make a pan of milk gravy and a pot of mashed potatoes. I kinda like it like that. Y'all have a great day.
They probably offered those gizzards to the homeless shelter, who refused to take them. Then, as they were about to throw them out, someone said, "Wait a minute, I know some su,,,, uh, a friend, who will take these things off our hands."

Good lord. I hope you didn't teach her the Five Point Palm Exploding Heart technique!
Southern Arizona must be having some real problems with wildfires. Long way away from you guys thank God. New Mexico is really suffering.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 79°F, cloudy and humid. Muggy. Today's high predicted around 96°F.
A local Travis County judge, who oversees DUI cases, was arrested for DUI over the weekend. Hope he's thrown out.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Not yet.
She keeps the dogs with her at the gym to keep the surrounding locals at bay. There is no air conditioning in that building just huge exhaust fans so they have rolling bay doors they must keep open with swamp coolers moving the air around. They rent the building and the owner will not put AC in. The area is bad and there is almost always someone lurking around outside and police/emergency vehicles visit the area almost daily. I Used to live in that area across the street back in 97 for about 6 months or so after retiring from the Army until I got a job that could sustain me for a better area. Was threatened by a few people there after coming back one night from karate training seeing a big black man harassing a much smaller woman both who lived there. He was drunk pushing her around. I got him to stop (not normally a bad dude) and it was over but, a few others started yelling at me to mind my own business and that my karate would not help me against a bullet. Got the message and moved out not long afterwards.

Good morning folks.
A spectacular morning in the east - sunny, cool, no humidity. We don’t get all that many days this perfect.
Got some work to plow through this morning then plan a long lunch hour at the Smithsonian Natural History Museum which is about a quarter mile from my office. Just before COVID they opened the magnificent Fossil/Dinosaur exhibit funded by the Koch Brothers. I haven’t been back for more than two years and looking forward to seeing it again.
Hope you all have a good day.

Hello All,
I hope all your days go great today. I also hope good things come your way. You deserve them.. Take care...

For some reason I don't think these prices are coming back down. At least not in my lifetime. A gallon of milk is $4.90. Lots of babies are going to be drinking water. Or watered down milk.
Yeah the new "norm" has been established. Many are yearning for the $3.89 gas again... quickly forgetting that same gas could be $1.87 or lower. It IS criminal what a few hundred people are doing to this country. Very stupid people supporting it though to the tune of a media that is lying about the support, and millions too busy taking care of themselves and their families to engage. We better engage and really quick or this is a communist country very soon.
I got a call from Audi. My wife's car is ready. I almost can't believe it. 8 weeks. Thanks Joe
Glad to hear that Sir but the sad thing is milk may be headed that way. Just horrifying what is happening right before our eyes. (I bought a gallon yesterday at Walmart for $3.63) (Was $3.03 the week before we went to SC.)(At the same store.)
Not just faster but more reliable.
Happy belated. Mine is next month the 78th day of spring.
Good yes and very challenging for the Simpletons
Nice!
As a free man's statement I often pee off my porch. If some one sees it they have to prove it!

My BB loves to pee outside... It is his "thing" of the moment...

Crossed that road many times. Used to be a real estate agent that paralleled that track. I think his last name was Bishop. (Had his house and office painted white.) Go up the hill on Brooks road on the side you are on and that is rattlesnake country for sure. (I think called Brooks Hill.)(Been there, done that.)
Man, I had a few minutes and pulled up google maps and google earth. David Bishop is still in business. He has to be in his eighties. I did some work for him but we were really just friendly acquaintances. I may have to contact him to say hello.
Edit: I sent him an email from his site. Let's see if he responds.
Some Oyster beds that are commercially harvested in Charleston. (Low tide)
A good crabbing spot for sure...
Waiting to see how it will look painted...
The BB hit a new slide but just stopped to smell the roses...
