I just googled Dern. Till he turned 70 he was running up to 4000 miles a year. Also surprised he's only worth 12 million. His father was a governor of Utah and Eleanor Roosevelt was his godmother.

Yeah it will also be the 50th anniversary of the Munich massacre. Awful.
Dave Wottle was one of my idols back then and primary reason I ran 880/800 event a couple years later. Thanks for the memories.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 71°F and partly cloudy. High today predicted at 94°F.
Heading into the office this morning. Keeping it short. Hopefully leave here at 6:15 am CST.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Good Morning all,
What a day, what a day...
What a day, what a day...
Good morning folks.
Speaking of running, as some have been, I’m about to disgrace myself.
Im nursing a bum hip, but my buddy talked me into signing up with our team as I have for eight years at the Capitol Classic race. He assured me I was one of three alternates and wouldn’t have to run —just come out for old times sake and enjoy the morning.
Well, of course, three people got COVID so now in order for our team not to be disqualified I have to hobble along for 5 kilometers and finish last among thousands of runners.
Im going to deal with it like Michael Scott on the rabies run —a dignified crawl across the finish line.

For all of you food aficionados.
How many of you eat crayfish? If so, have you ever heard of the now invasive species (Procambarus virginalis) aka Marbled Crayfish? Seems that where ever it goes it replaces the natural species already there. This one is not as large as the others (biggest 6" claw to tail) and is all female and reproduces via parthenogenesis. It reproduces in large numbers (all clones of the mother) and some developing countries are now looking at it as food source because they multiply so rapidly. It was apparently developed (for lack of a better word) as an aquarium pet in Germany in the early to mid 90's and have been sold for years around the world and is now a problem in several states including Florida @Sawnee Cat.
Just a good morning random subject I happened to come across this morning.

Make sure you check the ingredients before you buy this type of fudge. In today's world you never know.
Speaking of running, I was once a distance runner until spinal stenosis hit me and that ended that. I was in my late 50's when I gave it up for good. My son runs the marathon and qualified for the Boston Marathon then COVID hit and he cancelled. He still runs and he is in his early 50's. All of my granddkids are runners and my oldest granddaughter won a High School State Championship this year in Kentucky in Cross Country. She will continue running at the Air Force Academy when she reports in June. She will head to Colorado a week or so early to run and get use to the altitude before she starts Cadet Basic Training this summer.
When I stopped running I immediately picked up some unwanted pounds that are hard to get rid of. Keep it up boys And pass the gizzards please. They givce me an extra step or two as I travel through life. With some milk gravy and biscuits

I enjoyed Twin Peaks. That was an interesting show.
Good morning! Have to go figure out scores and teams from the weekly game here in a bit. I doubt that I won anything this time.
Mowed yesterday in the front. I'll need some gas before I hit the back today. Or tomorrow/weekend.
I hope to make some progress on the speaker box today. Not too far from wiring it up. Have a few more holes to cut before I start putting the glue to 'er.
Have whatever you want!

It's a darned shame you nearly need to hock something to mow your grass... The libs got it going on now. AOC and Butt is proud but not finished....
Good Morning D
We have another picture perfect day today with clear skies, low humidity and a pleasant temperature. We have 69° at present and will climb to 81°. A 2% chance of rain and the wind is brisk and steady at 12 mph. That should give us a nice breeze to do some more work in the yard. My wife wanted some hydrangea plants for Mother's Day and we picked some up that I need to put in the ground. These plants do very well in Kentucky which gives her a taste of "home" so I am all in. Down here you have to be careful where you plant them because this sun will eat them alive. I will plant them on the North side of the house which does not have direct sun and is much cooler day and night. I like the blue ones. Wish me well and have a nice day

I got mowing gas Monday (4.5 gallons) and then topped off the explorer and it was $49.00.
Lets go Brandon!
Well, I know some of you fellas were worried about me so I can report I survived the race. My time was just under 32 minutes - 10 minute plus miles which is just a little better than walking. But I finished without breaking stride, such as it was.
They've been running this race for 40 years now. I first ran it back in 1985, when I was in my late 20s. I can remember blazing past Al Gore, who I already couldn't stand back then, which was satisfying.
Now everyone blazes past me, though I could probably still beat Al Gore, where ever he is. I think this is a nice round year to quit.

May I suggest beans, potatoes, and broccoli?
Al Gore was just conserving energy then.
SO Bovine flatulation "ain't" enough for you. You need Bertfan flatulation...you disgusting you....
He conserved too much....
Speaking of running, I used to run a lot of 10k races while at Ft. Campbell. Every year they would have one that they called the Law Day Run 10k race. While being stationed there 4 years I only got to compete in it 2 years (Unit level competition). Between PNOC (Primary Non-Commissioned Officers Course), RECONDO school, Air Assault School, JOTC (Jungle Operations Training Center), BNOC (Basic Non-Commissioned Officers Course.) winter training in Alaska and all of the other field training exercises I was not always there to be able to run in it. However, we won it as a unit 2 years in a row when we could compete. I came in 3rd overall the first year and first overall the next. Below is pictures of me (black shorts blue shirt after finishing first cheering on the rest of the unit and the trophy we won and the team.

Now they're talking about a diesel shortage on the East coast in the upcoming months.
Beautiful. Best & most I ever saw was on a Nantucket day trip some 10-12 years ago. Tall & everywhere. pink & blue mixed, in the town. Spent 1/2 hr just gawking. There was a young girl from Natucket, .......... oh, nm.Good Morning D

Wow. I use a gallon like every 7-8 1/2 hr mows. 22" self-propelled.
I used to think that if they did a biographical movie on Marge, that Ernest Borgnine should have the role of playing her.Oh the hyperbole reeks.😁 (If Ole Large Marge could see them now...)
I am listening to the radio now and some woman is talking about a baby formula shortage nationwide. However she said there was plenty of baby formula on the border. Shelves full of it. Apparently it is reserved for illegal babies crossing the border.
Of course Americans must get to the back of the line and make way for illegals. That is who we are in this brave new insane world.
Sending it by the pallets too. I guess our new motto is "Americans last", because it sure seems that way.
My best old memories of Olympic running are Bob Schul & Lt. Billy Mills winning the 5K & 10K in 1964, both from way back. All B&W in those days & delayed from Tokyo. Schul in particular was like 50m back going into the last turn & like 20m behind with a 100 to go. What a kick. Mills wasn't quite so far behind but made a huge kick too.
Yes. Very much so.
I appreciate that you capitalized the H in him for me. My preferred pronouns are Yes Sir and Mr..
I don't know about that girl, but I've heard of a guy from Nantucket. Pretty amazing fellow it would seem, from what I've heard. Speaking of hearing, he had the funniest saying about his ear.
What would Aldous Huxley have written if he had seen all this shit first? It's startling that in less than a century, there has been such a change in society that. things that were once considered in a story of dystopian existence are now commonplace.
I went to the gas station today that is usually the cheapest in the county. $4.10/gal. That's for the cheap gas that I can't even use. I didn't get any. I can get a discount at Kroger. We pay extra for food so they can give a little of it back to us to make us feel good. woohoo.
I did get a dollar a gallon off at our local grocery store not too long ago. That was nice. But once again. We pay more for cheap gas than we get in return and it makes us happy. We're all sheeple. Some just complain about it more than others.

Just take Ole WC's advice BUT, stay home for a day or two afterward and, and, graze..... Ole Al Gore would be proud of you...
Yeah, I took a break and went off on some tangents... I'll be back to normal, whatever normal is..soon I hope...
Gas was $4.15 here at the cheap place....
I enjoy mud bugs but I cleanse (wash) in fresh water a day or two until the rinse is clear. Now about the Marbles. Cloneing is a biological dead end. Any biological population reproducing without genetic exchange to create population diversity to support biological resistance is vulnerable to infection (attack) and is likely doomed. It's always been that way.
A real joy Sir. Thanks, never a disappointment. Good stuff and well used.
Hopefully before they get too destructive.
