I am standing right beside you WC. I smell pork chops frying right now.
Morning Legionnaires!
Weather pattern still holding at near 100° until tomorrow in which it goes back up over 100° for a few days more.
I have a correction to make. My wife told me her mother and brother are Pescatarians and not vegans or vegetarians because neither of the latter eat fish. Who knew? Who cares? I can't keep up with definitions of what people can/will eat. MIL is more of a Paininmyasscatarian. Give me my meat, deserts, and a good stiff drink then, leave me be.
Very well stated.I am past thinking Caliapari will grow up. His ego is all about him and he pops off his mouth to a point I don't listen to what he says. I don't listen to pre-game or post game interviews with him or any other interview where he is speaking. He is the first UK basketball coach I have completely tuned out.
No one will dispute UK is a basketball school and has been since the late 1940's. But it is not a basketball only school. Calipari can get his blessed practice facility or what ever he lusts for this time without disparaging the UK football program. It was uncalled for and tacky. Let the Tennessee Vols basketball coach do that but our sports program should be like family and you don't talk bad about family in the media or press. You certainly don't belittle them when they are going to and winning bowl games. You shut the door and have a little talk, privately.
UK football ws the laughing stock of the SEC for 50 years or more. It is not anymore thanks to Stoops and his team. Calipari should be thankful of that and not be envious. But he is John Calipari and his motor mouth shows his true self.
But he saw all of Rose's career!Starting as a Reds fan in 1962, you missed a great Reds season in 1961. One of my all time favorite teams. Unfortunately they ran into the New York Yankees in the World Series and lost the series 4-1. The Yankees won 109 games that year and had the M&M boys locked in a home run battle until Mantle got injured. Maris broke the Babe's record that season. That Yankee team had it all.
One thing I remember about that World Series is it was during the cold war with the Soviets and the Press termed it the "Reds vs. Yanks" You could do stuff like that back then. Now someone would be offended. But it was a tremendous year for the Reds. Some of my all time favorite Reds were on that team.
OFFICIAL PROGRAM
Pure cruelty! Only a DI would do such thing!I was flipping through Pluto TV this morning and I ran across the old Earth vs The Spider movie and put it on. My wife immediately got up and went to my daughter's bedroom and they are watching something different in there. After yesterday's encounter with the black widow, she is creeped out. She hates spiders.
Whenever I want to get her out of the room, I just fire up a spider movie and it works. There are plenty of them out there and easy to pull up through the apps we have.

A FaceBook funny from one of my Arizona friends:
I was not in the Army/Navy/AirForce or anything else so please forgive me.That's good Sir.. I think Brother WC was a Drill Sergeant..
Those "varmints" (Drill Sergeants) would make you eat the spiders... But, I liked them...
I was not in the Army/Navy/AirForce or anything else so please forgive me.
I though it was known as a drill instructor.
Yes, my avatar is the DI badge.That's good Sir.. I think Brother WC was a Drill Sergeant..

Both. While all the services have what is correctly named Drill Instructors the army calls theirs drill sergeants and the other services have different names for theirs as well. The marines use the official term of DI.I was not in the Army/Navy/AirForce or anything else so please forgive me.

That is how I remember it. Also you never call an Army Drill Sgt "Sir". You address them as Sgt. or Drill Sgt.Just jabberjawing Sir. The Marines have Drill Instructors or DI's, The Army has Drill Sergeants or uh "Varmints"...
But I liked "Varmints"...
EDIT: At least that's how it was before "Woke" came to be...
When I was on status, I had a recruit with that last name. His first was Max.That is how I remember it. Also you never call an Army Drill Sgt "Sir". You address them as Sgt. or Drill Sgt.
I still have my Drill Sgt Hat. I was suppose to turn it in when they sent me back home.
Okay fellows. Off on one of those grim duties of fatherhood: meeting a daughter’s “serious” boyfriend. At a fancy restaurant. On my dime.
I don’t like him already and we haven’t met, but I guess that’s just the way of fathers with daughters.
Honestly, I’d rather do six hours of yard work, but I don’t have a choice and my daughter deserves all the support I can give her. I know it means a lot to her.
So enjoy your evenings. I’m just going to try to survive mine without bringing up my guns or a man-killing Hutu spear I brought home from Rwanda. He can see that -and get the message - if he ever makes it into my house.

Brutal to lose something like that Warrior.
My most devastating loss:
When I was a kid I was fascinated by the Civil War and was always carrying a book on the topic around. One day my grandmother noticed and said she had something to show me.
Among a bunch of family papers were two gems: Daguerreotype portraits of her two grandfathers as young Confederate officers holding their sidearms and wearing fancy gray uniforms of the type still around early in the war. Perfect condition.
Nobody else in the family had any interest in history but her and me, so eventually she promised the whole box would be mine someday.
Bottom line: When she died I was just out of college living in Florida. I came home for the funeral but it was all hectic and sad.
When eventually I got around to asking my father if I could see mamma’s papers he said, “She didn’t have anything of value. It all got tossed.”
I held out hope that maybe one of my aunts had saved the photos, but they never surfaced.

Thanks to my wife I was able to save very valuable personal papers my mother had saved over the years. Some dating back to the late 1800's and most very early 1900's.
Mother had some very nice cedar chests that she kept her personal papers in. My siblings wanted the cedar chests. They arranged a clean out party at mom's house and I had to be on a business trip so my wife went in my place to help clean up and throw out. The cedar chest was emptied and mom's personal papers were piled up in a corner to be taken out back and burned in the barrel.
The papers and other things were meticulously kept and in order. Things in the large pile included many vintage post cards dated late 1800's and early 1900's. Love letters between my grandfather and grandmother over a 5 year period from 1900 to 1905. Various legal documents, one included my g-grandfathers land grant for homestead property when Chester A Arthur was President.
One letter was of particular importance and dear to me as it showed what life was like living in the rural South in 1919. My grandfather was a citrus grower and he would harvest his crop then go to other areas of the state and help other growers harvest theirs. That was common. Growers helping each other. One year he went over to Lake Wales to help a grower and was gone from home about two weeks. While he was gone grandma realized a new born calf was drinking almost all of the milk from their dairy cow and the small children did not have any milk. She wrote grandpa about the problem and he wrote back, kill the calf, the babies need milk. My mother was about 7 years old and she had an older brother who was 9 or 10. Grandpa told him to take his rifle and shoot the calf. Well Uncle Lee was attached to the calf and would not do it. So grandma wrote grandpa and let him know and grandpa told her to get the neighbor to shoot it. Kill that calf now. The babies need milk. And so it goes.
I am thankful we were able to salvage family keepsakes, I just wish my baseball cards could have been spared.
Here are a number of post cards I was able to salvage. They were headed to the barrel to be burned.
55-19 at the half. Cats blowing 'em out.
Really hope this animosity between Cal and Coach Stoops ends soon. Hell, even ESPN picked up on it and included the controversy in their headlines. Stoops has worked wonders for Wildcat football. Crappy optics for both programs.
Toppin was lighting it up. Need that from him this year. Inside and out.118-56 final. Toppin and Reeves looked awesome. Big O pulling down the boards. Love these blowouts. Great confidence builder.
I just stirred up a hornet's nest on basketball board. Big deal. Mitch Barnhart is the best AD so far in my lifetime.
Back from dinner. I have to say the guy wasn’t a bad fellow. Owns his own home in his 20s, has a decent job where he actually works with an old friend of mine from many years ago (small world) respectful, offered to pay the check (not seriously, but at least he offered.) I can leave my Hutu Warrior spear over my office door and my Ithaca model 37 12 gauge pump in the closet —for now....and tell him you know people that have done and have seen people do bad bad things...
I don't think I could do what you're doing this evening. Not in a good frame of mind for it. May God bless you and give you discernment as to what kind of young man he is.

Haha. Maybe. Or maybe I’ve seen some of the losers out there and know how much worse it could be (typo corrected, by the way. My pump is a 12 gauge of course, not a .22)
Sir...
