You have to look at who conducted these polls and who did they poll. DeSantis has a war chest well in excess of $100 million now and it is growing. Charlie Crist will most likely be the Democrat nominee and he might have $10 million at the most. Most of his is out of state money.
You are going to get a lot of this before the election because the media sees DeSantis as a threat and they will attack him. He is at constant war with the media because he calls them out with their false narratives.
This morning I was cleaning out the 2006 Kia Sportage that we got back from my MIL since she can no longer drive. It was a complete mess and was full of items she wanted stored in our side shop. While rearranging the side shop to make space for her (sh--crap) I found a box of mine with some old photos of my DI days. In amongst the photos was a small packet which was a gift to me several years ago from my wife because I liked collecting wheat pennies. Below are the contents of that packet containing wheat back pennies from 1940-1949ATX is famous...others are jumping on the band wagon. Waiting on his report from his walk today but in the interim...

Nice stuff... I finally got my safe open yesterday. Took me three tries with the combination and instructions. A rough one to crack.
I am going to try tomorrow to look through some older coins I have. None special but, ATX got me wanting to mine for gold....
1949, min wage .75. The first job where I got paid by a check was at a car wash for 75 cents an hour. Later I got a job at a bowling alley. I don't even recall the pay, but it included free bowling. I bowled 10 or 12 games a day.This morning I was cleaning out the 2006 Kia Sportage that we got back from my MIL since she can no longer drive.

From my back yard 3 days ago and another happened the next morning.We continue to have nice rainbows in the area. Some are double.
No way that's human.My right hip was an over night stay in the hospital and a week and one half of physical therapy. There is pain the first two day but we have good drugs to mute that. By the fifth day I could walk with a cane and drive. I was down to four tylenols a day. After 10 days I did not need a cane.
After two weeks it was zero pain or zero though about having an artificial hip. I did have to wait two weeks to shower and I love a good shower to start the day off right.
Then about a month after that my right hip was replaced my left hip started the same pain as in the other side. I was supposed to have it replaced on March 23, 2020 but Covid messed that up. Now I must consider doing it again, but it is not just a hip replacement they will have to remove and replace the steel in my left femur. It will be several days in the hospital. Pictures below:
I started out at 75 cents an hour too. At a family owned grocery store bagging groceries. A Mr.Anderson owned the store. As a boy I would mow lawns for 25 cents. I even set up a shoe shine business when I was 7 or 8. I would go through the neighborhood with my wagon going house to house asking if anyone wanted me to shine their shoes for a nickle a shoe and a dime for a boot. I never got rich doing that.
My son starting making money when he was 6 years old. I got him interested in making money one Saturday. A friend had a landscaping business and one of his helpers couldn't work that day. He asked me to help and he would give me 50 dollars. I agreed and brought my six year old boy with me to help out. He would carry plants and go fetch tools, etc. Just kind of piddling around. When we were finished my friend gave me a $50 bill and I handed it over to my six year old boy. I told him to start saving his money and we would get him that new bike. The next week he stared going around asking neighbors if they needed any chores done and the first thing you know he was bringing home money. He continued to do some type of work for pay until this day.
For the St Louis Cards fans, this man is one of my all time favorites.
On July 17, 1974 - The great "Dizzy" Dean died at the age of 63. Dean starred with the Cardinals "Gashouse Gang" World Champions in 1934. He led the National League in strikeouts four straight times. In 1934, he won 30 games and lost only seven. He is also remembered for his colorful language while broadcasting games.

A little Pee Wee Reese and Dizzy Dean announcing at the old Crosley Field. Giants vs Reds
Dizzy had a brother they called Daffy. Dizzy won 30 and Daffy won 19 in 1934 I think it was as the Cards won the WS. Once Dizzy pitched the first game of a double header, a 2 hit shut out. Daffy pitched a no hitter the second game. Dizzy said if he knew his brother was going to pitch a no hitter, he would have also pitched one.For the St Louis Cards fans, this man is one of my all time favorites.

In the 34 WS, Diz came in as a pinch runner and was hit in the head with the ball at second base. The newspaper headlines the next day read, "X rays show nothing in Dizzy's head."
Good morning D-League. It's currently 71° and sunny here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon bring a mix of clouds and sun and a high of 93°.
Everyone stay safe on this Sunday.

The Bengals finally released pictures of their new alternate helmet. Can't say I'm a fan of it
Good morning folks. Back from a long walk. A bit cooler today. My intrepid wife is in the late stages of training for a marathon so she's off with her runner's group doing 20 miles this morning. Makes me hurt all over the think about it. They start way up in Montgomery County Maryland where we live and run all the way to Union Station - the historic train station in DC on the edge of Capitol Hill. Coincidentally, when my wife and I first met and she was a young writer of about 23 and I was in my late 20s, I lived in that area and we used to take nighttime walks down to the train station to eat at an Italian Restaurant that was in the building -- while still a train station it had been converted into a shopping and dining area. Good memories.
You guys talking about coins -- I'll bet there is quite a collection of challenge coins among the ex-military folks here.
It would probably piss off some military guys who worked hard to be recognized, but when I was in combat zones with units, if I behaved respectfully, and wrote honest, informed pieces about a unit, sometimes the commanders at division, brigade or battalion level would give me a coin. Over the years between Desert Storm - first time I ever heard of such a thing - and my last embed in Baghdad with a 10th Mountain Division unit in 2007, I collected about 30 of them, and they represent important memories to me.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 80°F and partly cloudy. Today's high expected around 102°F. I'll be so glad when fall arrives.
Wife getting major dental work done tomorrow, so I need to purchase soft stuff while grocery shopping today. She gave me a long list. Heading out in a few.
Watched Hoosiers again last night. Dennis Hopper is my favorite character in the movie.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

It is a sunny 80.4°F here and we are to get to 94°. I am tired to the heat, but yesterday we did not get to the predicted high of 97 so hopefully we will not get to 94 today.
You all have a wonderful Sunday.

I have to disagree. I love the white helmet.
I'm sure everyone knows this, but in case there are some younger, or non-Cincy area folks: I was a kid of about nine when Cincinnati first got a franchise, and the big hoopla in the area in those days were the White Tiger Cubs the zoo had started breeding. That's why people voted for the name Bengals in the local newspaper polls, and a white helmet makes sense.
Think I've got two. One from battalion commander in middle east, another from division commander.
Now you know what they mean when someone says us old folks have a screw loose. I look at the photo of my spine occasionally to remind me of my limitations in life.
Life is good if you can find a skilled surgeon as time goes by
Not sure how many coins I collected, packed them all away in boxes.
I know I have done this before so, this is for those that missed it. A remake is coming with Sawnee as the lead.Now you know what they mean when someone says us old folks have a screw loose. I look at the photo of my spine occasionally to remind me of my limitations in life.

White is prejudice.... No way that stands... must mean white supremacy.
Hello All,
My Darling, the BB, and I went to Church, went to Popeye's, went to ALDI's, then to Walmart, now home. Back to work I go,.... No one knows it but I bought the BB "an Harmonica" on line. (Got that bit from M*A*S*H*). Should arrive in the next couple days. (Want to see if he can create like I think he can. If so I WILL pick up my guitar again to play, if the Lord doesn't take me home.)

I received some nice ones for work I did at the time. I've had the pleasure of being able to have innovative items in several areas implemented. Several were high echelon. I gave the high speed coins to my brother. (Gave the dough to My Darling...)

Marathons....what's all the fuss about them. I run them all the time. It may take a week to complete one but I get there...with several breaks...
My brother has run two Marine Corp marathons and he tried to get me to do it. I said, NOPE, I run enough as it is I don't need to run a marathon. Plus, like I tell my Doctor, unless I'm running in a beautiful park somewhere, I HATE running! I HATE IT! Then he looks at me and tells me to keep running. 😟
I usually watch marathons.....007 marathons, John Wayne marathons etc...They wear me out tool
I am off to destroy a hornets nest at my friends house about a half mile away. Putting on my UK jacket to protect me. (What can I say the chump gave the BB a super soaker today. I am going to his house wet. The BB has been bathed and is getting ready for bed. I am off to a fight. We shall see... back in about 30 to 45 minutes..... (I hope)
Good luck. I hate wasps. Got stung on th foot by a yellow jacket once and my foot swelled up almost double.
Sorry to hear that. Yeah bee's and the like are tough to deal with. I used to do this stuff for a living 20 plus years ago. (Just returned) Hornets stings zero, hornets dead, several hundred. BBUK won this round... but I'm cautious going forward...
I hit the nest earlier today with an end of a can of hornet spray. (It is about three feet off the ground built on some sort of junction box against the house.) I found another full can when I came back home. Took one of these with me...
Doused the nest with the hornet spray/ foam, raked the tines through the nest to rip it to shreds and ...........................run..............
Came back in about two minutes and doused it again and left.
(Good to do this type stuff after dark. Have a light on somewhere in the opposite direction you are at or going to...)
I am thankful...
HAHAHAAHAHAHAHA
My Buddy (I hired him when he was in Colorado for my agency as the hiring manager and we hit it off from afar. He's a Kentucky boy.) He got a job on Fort Belvoir and moved here. He has been a good friend I enjoy being around. (His wife is expecting so I volunteered to destroy that nest. I'd have done it anyway.)
Anyway my Buddy stated: "That didn't take long.", I stated: Doesn't take me long to look at a hornet.." 😅 😅
Have a comforting evening...

Good info about the light. Never would have thought of it. I do try and do any dealing with them when it is cooler.
I enjoyed this show when it was live, and I enjoy it as much now if not more. (I watch very little entertainment now but this is classic television...)

Good morning from ATX. Currently 79°F, clear with periodic clouds. Today's high expected around 103°F.
Houston businessman Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale dropped $4 million on the Astros to win the World Series again. I believe Braves upset some plans last year. His promotions are legendary.
Must go with wife to dentist again this morning. Leaving at 11 am. Working first.
Monday, Monday. These weekends are too short.
