There were no outages yesterday. Talking with family, these power failures were not widespread. They were short duration 5 to 15 minutes.at 30 minute intervals Friday. Only one Saturday. I'm looking at 100 days of these 100°+ temperatures. I'm thinking about some sort of back up gas generator. If I can find one. We used them for reliable power during our field agricultural irrigation experiments. but fuel was less than $2 a gallon. Now it's $5.59 and rapidly approaching $6.00. Learn from the lizards to limit solar exposure and heat loading and you can likely survive. Noon to 6 pm. will be rough
It will benefit the D that's for sure. Your unique persona is a blessing for us. We know this and greatly appreciate your efforts and thank you.
Thank you gentlemen
The good part of the D-League is you can say what you want. We are here.
Well, I'm happy to interact. Like you Bev, I have two young adults back in my home temporarily - my 25-year-old daughter moved back from Austin, Texas and is working as an elementary school teacher at a Waldorf Academy (school for kids of rich hippies) in Bethesda, Maryland. My son is home from Lexington. He's working driving a moving truck and taking a couple summer school UK classes. He got set back a bit by COVID forcing all classes to be remote. He hated that, and went from a dean's list kid to essentially whiffing a semester.
Speaking for myself, I certainly have opinions. At least two about everything, so I try to stick to statistically verifiable fact but in today's world with data manipulation to promote disinformation designed to confuse as a strategy, I've become more reserved . I see how I've been been foolishly complacent. I often utilize the like toggle as a bookmark. In your case, I enjoy your posting and do like them. But I adore your feminine perspective as mine, at times, seem eat up with testosterone. My loyal wife informs me that I frighten others. You always help me help me with that rough edge. Looks like I need to be more creative in my interactive support and I need to get started, grow up, act my age and stop peeping through the keyhole.
The health factor is key Rooster, and I share your concerns. Tell me UK has an injury-free run like 2011-2012 and I'll predict an outcome to the season that might rival those two years.
This pretty much sums it up for me as well Rooster. I would love to see us add one more piece, a combo guard type. I'm not expecting a 5* type either. A transfer from lower level school, that fills the need and wants the blue blood experience would be fine. A Nate Sestina type.
For me the Oscar effect. Not BS artists. Love players who show up & want to represent. Win or lose, I'm a fan of good guys.
Had a co-worker once who said he was a lesbian in a man's body.
Me too, I just don't drink any less either. Not much, most of the time a single drink a night after dinner. On occasion, a little more.
No, stay. It is just an alcohol induced tiff. It happens rarely. I probably piss a few off here from time to time but I assure all, it is never intentional. Well, maybe one poster but only return fire and then it is back to normal.
Girls, Girls, Girls. Marsha, Marsha, Marsha. Russia, Russia, Russia.
Good to see your name starchief5, it is not the same D League without you. There are a few others I would like to see jump back on board too. Nice to see Bev make an appearance.
Hey Sarge we were trained to do that. They sent us to school for that purpose.

Congrats a day early.
It is good. I have refrained from heavy drinking since I was married and really didn't drink that much before I married. My wife's father was a WWII vet who served in the South Pacific in a rifleman company. He was a trained sniper. The war took a toll on him as he was involved in some of the most intense fighting in WWII. He saw a lot of death and he drank heavy for the rest of his life. My wife was scared from childhood because of it. Some of these scars continued into adulthood.
I am nothing compared to him, but you do see some gruesome things. 2 things bothered me most. One is we shared a perimeter with ROK marines. I was head of a SAT team and was radioed to go to where our sector met theirs and find out what was going on. Turns out they had caught a Vietnamese woman sneaking through the fence. They had stuck a slap flare up the woman's privates and set it off. She was literally burning to death from the insides. I can still hear her screams at night when everything is quiet. The sounds coming from her were not sounds you think humans can make. The other involves some innocents who died because they helped us.It is good.

We really didn't know how vicious the battles were he was involved in until his funeral. A stranger showed up who was a WWII vet also and explained to the family what he went through. He was decorated at the Battle of Peleliu with a Bronze Star with valor. The high casualty rate at Peleliu exceeded that of all other amphibious operations during the Pacific War. It was "the bitterest battle of the war for the Marines". They pretty much got wiped out and the Army's 81th Infantry was assigned to the 1st Marines to offer support. This was the unit my father in law was in. The 81th also took heavy casualties. The 81st was nicknamed the "Wildcats" and composed of soldiers from the South and rural areas. The Wildcats grew out of the The "Stonewall Jackson Division", named for the beloved Southern General.
My wife had no idea about any of this until after his death and she searched the records and discovered the documents of the viciousness of the battle. His Army records were amazing. He never discussed it but his brother told of the time he killed a Japanese sniper who had the Company Commander in his sights. Her father shot the Japanese soldier dead. Experiences like this no doubt kicked off a serious drinking addiction for the rest of his life. I made a promise to my wife before we married that any drinking I did would be social only and limited. She would never see me stagger home or drunk. I found it was not a hard promise to keep.
Thanks for the heads-up. Henceforth, I'll act accordingly.
I put Baller Cat on ignore and had no idea
I can't believe we are up to 4551!![5-10-14_Q418_Yardley_CSX4551[tad_60d].jpg](/proxy.php?image=http%3A%2F%2Fs3.amazonaws.com%2Frrpa_photos%2F107071%2F5-10-14_Q418_Yardley_CSX4551%5Btad_60d%5D.jpg&hash=2dbfce8556b62c625578e9537bfe5d39)
