- Start date
Agree but that wasn't my point. Christmas is also supposed to be about family and love. Still is I guess.
I never saw one of his home runs and am not downing it. I checked out of the game I love quite a while ago due to the forces that be, other than the game, in the game. It's a darned shame.
When Babe did it during the scandal he saved baseball. (I wasn't around for that but I relived it with movies and reading his exploits.) When Maris did it I was unaware of the ramifications at that time due to my age. I sure wish Aaron Judge impacted me this go round. (It didn't.) BUT, I do hope it impacted others positively. Baseball is American! Baseball deserves to be saved.... jmo
My wife doesn't understand my love of Christmas. I don't believe in any of the available gods, but I love me some Christmas. I don't believe each individual story of the bible, but I believe it is a great blueprint for the principles of a society. Don't lie, cheat, steal, kill, or bang my wife, are pretty good rules for a civilization. I celebrate it each and every year, but only after Thanksgiving. Let's be civilized.
@_Rooster I just called you and it went straight to voice mail. Does that mean you are not taking phone calls? It would seem that way since you are not taking phone calls. I'm going to assume you are not taking phone calls and I will contact you here at a later date.
Phone was turned off.
It's too gracious. Can't have that in a holiday. Has to be about spending and not sharing for business to get behind it these days.
Another day to be thankful for! Good morning, D-League!
Hope yall and your families are well. That's all I got to say right now.

Good morning D-League. It's currently 42° and fair here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring sunny skies and a high of 73°.
Everyone stay safe on this hump day 🐪.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 62°F and clear. Today's high should come in around 91°F. We need some rain.
I made Meyer's smoked sausage with cabbage this past Monday. Liked it so much that I think I'll make more tonight.
Yes, Happy Hump Day.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

It is by far my most favorite of the holidays. Family, food and football. It is the one day we get all of the family together and that is important.
Good morning D
We have a nice day with over night low's in the 50's and it is 59° now with a high of 79° by 3:00 PM. No rain is in the forecast and sun will be with us.
My fellow Floridians to the South of us are recovering quicker than expected. The bridge to Pine Island will be functional by the weekend and the causeway and bridge to Sanibel and Captiva will be repaired. Of the 2.6 million customers out of electricity less than 300,000 remain. The speed of repairs is remarkable but people down there went to work and didn't wait around to be told what to do. They just did it. The Governor and local sheriffs have put looters on notice. If you loot the property owner has the right to shoot you, with the blessings of the State of Florida. It is what it is.
Yesterday I pulled two dead trees out with my 4x4 pick up. I scratched it a little bit and I am not pleased about that. But at least they are ready to take away and I saved a hunk of money by doing it my self.
I trust all are well and in good health. Wake up, the sun he is a rising.

Good morning D-League. Still cloudy and cold on the east coast.
Long day ahead, but my wife and I have rented a cabin, off-season, on the Delaware Coast at a place called Dewey Beach for a 3-day weekend. We went every summer for 20 years for 9 days until the kids moved on to other lives. Now my wife and I go just for a taste of the beach and a look at the ocean in the fall. There are a few things about it I look forward to - the best fish and chips restaurant I know of anywhere, Thrasher’s French Fries, a place that makes incredible cream cheese croissants, stuff like that.
But I’m getting ahead of myself. Have to head for the subway and plow through ten hours of work today. So you guys take care.

Morning Legionnaires!
59° this morning with very light winds. 86° expected for a high with partly cloudy skies. Fishing on for the day.
A little tired this morning as we played 2 games last night. We won both 13-5, and 12-10. I went 2-6 last night so my contribution to the offense was not very good. We are now 3-1 for the fall season. We were going to be short a player and have to forfeit when a guy who used to play for us for a few years but moved to Louisiana early this year showed up because his job had him back here for TDY. He works for a military contractor that allows him to work from home and they send him around the country wherever they need him. He just happened to come out to the field (brining his gear) knowing that fall ball would be played and we needed him. Good player too as he slugs at least one homerun a game.
Well, you guys stay safe out there during this "Hump Day!" and I'll get us some fresh fish.
Roebling scaled up his Cincy-Covington bridge for that.Good morning D-League. It's currently 42° and fair here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring sunny skies and a high of 73°.
Everyone stay safe on this hump day 🐪.
Nice photo of the Brooklyn Bridge 41102. As many known, John Roebling built the Suspension Bridge in Cincinnati first, and it served as a model for this much longer bridge. But the engineering feats at the NY site were remarkable. My wife ispent her early years in NYC and every one of the hundred or so times we drive across that bridge I remind her the one in Cincy came first...Good morning D-League.

For the BB, Roebling kept digging for bedrock for one the piers, Manhattan one I recall, and had to give up because existing tech couldn't get quality air any further down for the workers. So it's sitting on compacted dirt, not bedrock. Holding so far.
It is another dry sunny 54.5°F on our way up to a warm 78°. We may get a frost this weekend. It ain't the 15th of October as my dad always said we are frost free here from April 15 to October 15. I am still betting on dad!
I have the Big Blue Madness set to record. I can't wait.

They are out there folks. I received an e-mail attachment from my friend and former neighborhood who sustained hurricane damage to their home and he is getting bids on a temporary covering for their roof. (Blue tarp) This is the bid. This is not for a roof, it is for a temporary covering only. $22,566.00. Contractors are crooks during natural disasters.
My friend turned this company into the Florida fraud unit.

Sanibel Island Lighthouse. Before and after Ian hit.
Is there any place left to live on Sanibel?Sanibel Island Lighthouse. Before and after Ian hit.
It certainly got whacked about as bad as a place can get wacked but it will be back. Same for Captiva and Pine Island. They will return.
The bridge to Pine Island opened today, less than a week after the storm hit. That is unreal in itself.
Damn. Hate to see the damage at Sanibel. What a lovely place that is.Sanibel Island Lighthouse. Before and after Ian hit.
My failed first marriage began with a Honeymoon to Sanibel after getting hitched in West Palm Beach when I was still in my early 20s. The wreckage left by Ian is a personal metaphor for me.

I was just listening to a buddy blow off steam about how some injustice was being piled on him here at work, and he muttered, "I don't deserve this."
I caught myself before I responded with one of the truest and most profound sentences ever spoken in an American movie, by Clint Eastwood as Will Munny. Loved this movie, and especially this moment.

Afternoon folks. Fishing while not the best day ever was pretty good. Fish were bumping/hitting the lure often this morning but did not start taking the bait all the way until around 10:30 or so.
Hooked 8 landed 6 with most being between 2 and 3 pounds. Went to a pond I have not been to since I was still in the military. Only time I went the water was down and there were only catfish and carp in it. It later dried up and was that way for a while. I had heard that some years back the Army Corps of Engineers went in and dug it out more making it bigger, built a concrete dam and now it holds water even through the drier times such as this year. Even down now it looks bigger than I remember it being. Below is the fish caught there today.

Nice catch WC. We had fried fish tonight for supper. Fresh from the seafood market, not frozen. The wife made some corn bread and had her favorite, pinto beans. That was a meal fit for a King.Afternoon folks. Fishing while not the best day ever was pretty good.

My wife usually makes hushpuppies along with fries, but pinto beans would be welcome as well.
I love Thanksgiving too. Probably the most relaxing holiday. As much as I love Christmas, and I do, it's exhausting.
Hey welcome back wild ass!
