Rand Paul vs. Charles Booker for the US Senate seat. No surprise. As I posted on the political thread, Booker will take Jefferson and Fayette county, maybe some of Northern Kentucky. Paul takes the rest of the state in a landslide.
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.

Rand Paul is my old eye doctor. I worked my ass off on his first campaign for the Senate. I root for Rand. I get my Federal Taxes audited every year because I supported Rand (I am on the hit list).

I actually thinks Rand wins big. We Libertarians have to stick together.
 
Huh? Sir...
A gag post Sir, just acting funny. To explain

Some years back UK football was playing in the Music City Bowl and my wife and I attended. We stayed over a few days and one morning drifted down to the Ryman Auditorium to take a tour. We were the only ones there and the guide took us on a grand tour, just the two of us. When we got on stage I picked up a guitar and stepped up to the microphone and started singing "Why Not Me" (why can't I be a country singing star.) :)

Then my wife grabbed another guitar and we broke out into "I Don't Think Hank Did It That way". Our guide started laughing and took the picture. The wife and I act crazy most of the time. It keeps us young.

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.

Re giving money to bums. The first time I got to see town after basic training, I was green as can be. I gave a beggar some money, maybe a ten or twenty. Can't recall how much. A cop was watching and he chewed me out big time. Said the guy was going to spend it all on booze. He probably did, but as I said, I was just a green knucklehead.

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.

NKy just voted out three Pub Legislature incumbents in primary because they weren't Trump enough.
 
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 beers 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.

I guess it's beerly possible...
 
I played softball one year for a beer distributor. Trouble was, it was Strohs. They gave us free beer. All we had to do was pick it up. After a bit, no one even bothered to go get it. Also played a couple of years for a bar. Free drinks if we won. We almost never lost.
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.

Played for many sponsors over the years and one in particular was a BBQ joint who fed us at least once a week for free.

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.

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..

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.

These days I wear shin guards, knee pads (under the pants) and a mask when pitching. Don't want to mess up this mug any further.
 
Good evening, D-League!

Still running ragged, sore, tired, and dodging the weather and the pollen. Hope yall are doing well. Thought I could catch up by last weekend, but more keeps getting added to my list of things to get done last week. I'm over a month behind. Maybe I'll be able to catch up before the football season kicks off!

God bless the D-League! Good night yall
 
Good morning from ATX. Currently 73°F and partly cloudy. Today's high may hit 100°F. Heat relief on the way, we hope.

Pup threw up again. We're watching her closely. Wife also sick and going to the doctor. I'm gonna see if I can work from home today.

Watched "Ghostbusters: Afterlife" last night. Awesome special effects, but story lagged from first two flicks.

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

Good morning D

We have a nice morning with 68° and a little fog on the lake. We expect a high of 87° with scattered clouds with about 2% chance of rain. Rain is expected this weekend, thank the Lord.

It should be a good day to fly. We are headed to the airport soon to catch a flight. My granddaughter graduates from high school this weekend and then she will be preparing to head out to Colorado Springs for the Air Force Academy. It seems as if yesterday I was flying up for her birth. Time does not slow down.

I trust all have a great day.

Morning D-Legionnaires!

Hot, hot, hot happening today. 100° yesterday with 101° slated for today. Want to cut the grass but will wait until tomorrow when a cold front moves in and the high is expected to be 97°. 😋

I wonder if God frowns upon us if we eat Devil's food cake.

Whoa, I feel like Keanu Reaves in one of his iconic movies rolls after that remark.

Hang in there straight people! (From the John boy and Billy show)

I thought a few of you history buffs and Americana fans might be interested in this. It's a Norman Rockwell illustration depicting famous photog Mathew Brady capturing Lincoln's image in his DC studio - a place where everyone from Henry Clay to Walt Whitman to George Armstrong Custer and dozens of other luminaries visited.

The buidling where all those people visited Brady's studio is still there. Its just a couple blocks from where I work. No plaque or other sign of what an historic place it once was.
