About 20 years ago I was in Charlotte, NC for a NASCAR race and we decided to take a stroll downtown. A man came up to me and said he was hungry and would I give him some money for a sandwich. Across the street was a liquor store. I told him I was hungry too and I will treat him to a nice juicy hamburger. He said he really didn't like hamburgers so I asked him what he did want to eat. I told him anything his heart desires.
Our one and only appearance on the Grand Ole Opry stage. Singing, "Why Not Me" and for our encore performance, "I Don't Think Hank Did It This Way"
I'd be a bum myself if I doled out cash to every derelict who asks in Washington, of course. Every now and then I'll hand over a $5 bill but generally I feel like it just contributes to a greatly worsening problem.
I typically did that over two games.
Sorry, but the NKy part is totally wrong. No idea where you'd get that. Massie wins with 70% over & over. Paul will do 70% in Boone & Kenton & 60 in Campbell. Booker may carry Covington. More rural counties just south will go for Paul even more.
Good post and I trust that it is correct.
A gag post Sir, just acting funny. To explain
I stand corrected. You would know better than I. I shouldn't have assumed that being across from Hamilton County would automatically make it blue.
NBD. City of Cincy is probably 70% blue & rest of county is about 55% red making entire county like 55% blue. Counties surrounding Hamilton are heavily red, particularly Clermont & Warren.
I wish I was still 42. Turned 51 last month. So I'm in that 3rd phase of the belt wearing.
Someone must be planning on having beans for supper, because that's about the only cheap gas any of us will see.😉Good Morning all,
Think cheap gas.... it may happen.
Hope all is well.
Yes, all is as well as can be.
Played two games (Softball) last night. Won the first and lost the second. I sucked with the bat, but my D was still there. Took one (bad hop) off of the chest (bruised but enough meat to take it) and still got him out. Heard my shortstop say "Greg would not have made that play, he would have gotten out of the way. Greg is our other pitcher. We alternate pitching games and EH when not pitching. Defense or the lack thereof lost the second game. Both short stop and third base played matadors on several grounders. After the game they both said, "Sorry Mac, we should have got those". I told them I was not worried about it; we were just out there these days to have fun (beer league ball). Winning is more fun but, a couple of bears and the guy talk afterwards was just as much fun. However, I am not so complacent that I don't want my hitting to improve so, since all of my bats are old, I ordered a new one today. Supposed to be one of the hottest of the new bats going. Had it personalized with my name (Mac the shortened version) so no one could steal it.
Played my first couple of years of Lawton softball with the Lawton A's. Bunch of good talent on the team. The guy sponsoring the team also coached it. Found out later he sponsored it with money he embezzled from the finance company he worked for. He had a good lawyer and stayed out of jail until he was caught fondling a ten-year-old girl. He spent a year in prison then got back out working for the same company he embezzled from. Apparently, he knew how to bring in the business.
I envy your abilities! Sure did love my days playing. I played with some very good teams in the past. 1 loss in 4 seasons with 1 team. 4 championships.Played two games (Softball) last night.

Strohs beer was awesome! It was the second beer I ever had behind Falstaff, which is what my father kept in the garage fridge. Strohs beer, along with Jim Beam bourbon, got me through high school. I'll always be in debt to those libations. Roll with what brung ya, and what not..
I played softball for the Clearwater Nationals. But that was yesterday and yesterday is gone.
Really am blessed to be healthy enough to continue to play. Have had some Achilles problems last few years but, slowing down running the bases seems to have helped a lot. Most of the time now if I get on, I can get a pinch runner if I want one. They keep me on generally because of my abilities with the glove and being able to handle the constant winds to get the ball over the plate. I have been hit in the head or face a few times over the years with one hitting the side of face because I turned my head just in time to keep my teeth. Hit my ear and cheekbone area and I had some bleeding but xrays at the local hospital proved that the internal bleeding has stopped. Ball spun me around facing second base with my face in the dirt. Tried to get up but our catcher was pushing me back down because I was bleeding and told me to stay down. Told him I needed to let my wife (who was in the stands) know I was OK. He said: "look up." I looked up and she was already on the field standing between me and second base with her hand over her mouth.
