D-League

[MdWIldcat55]

Good morning folks. Grinding out the last work day until Thanksgiving. Subway was already mostly empty, so it feels like the holiday has begun.

I'll try to get in a viewing of "Trains, Planes and Automobiles" tonight -- that's sort of a tradition for me when fortunate enough to be home or at least in a stable place for T-Day. It sort of kicks off the long haul through Christmas and New Year's Day. It's not a great movie but John Candy is always watchable and something about that universal urge to get home, whatever it takes, resonates.

Hope it is a good day for all of you.

Morning Legionnaires!

44° this morning with a light drizzle and moderate winds. High of 57° expected.

Watching Germany and Japan in the World Cup right now since there are no other sporting events going on. Germany leads 1-0. Yes, I agree it is boring without all the scoring, so I'll exercise my inner poet for I am sure that you know it. But as I was typing, the announcers were hyping the German team for another score, But, because of an offsides ruling, that hype is now cooling, and the count is the same as before. Heh, heh, heh.

Thank you, I will be here all week.

Hey, you guys enjoy the day and God Bless and stay safe.

It wasn't easy to homer off of Sandy Koufax

I was there once. Beautiful. What you don't realize that ground level behind the stand is at the upper deck and the field is down a hillside or ravine.

Good morning from Shawanee, TN. Currently 30°F, sunny and clear. Temp was around 23°F when I awoke first time this morning. Today's high expected around 59°F. Looking forward to another beautiful autumn day.

Completed shopping for Thanksgiving dinner last night. Avoided the inevitable crowds.

I rode over to Middlesboro earlier this morning and visited with a relative. Good seeing him again. Stopped by Wendy's for breakfast.

Daughter found another job. She works 3 days this week. I think she learned a valuable lesson after losing this last job. I know my checking account certainly
has . Gotta help your kids and grand kids. Just don't spoil 'em.

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

AND McLintock AND Rio Grande....AND Wings of Eagles AND Big Jake.... (I have them all. In MP4 if anyone desires...I bought them.) I think I liked McLintock best thinking about it now but it may change tomorrow according to how I feel. She was an amazing yin and yang to John Wayne... so many times...

More than anything, she was Republican thru & thru. Wayne must have rubbed off on her. Maybe even more than rubbed?

 

[vhcat70]

Good morning D-League. It's currently 28° and clear here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring sunny skies and a high of 59°.

Have a great day.

It's just a rock, folks. Seeing this, didn't remember the harbor as so large.

If you have been to Payne's Prairie you may have encountered wild horses on the trail. They have been wild since the Spanish brought them over in the 1500's. Ponce de Leon was attached by Indians and fled Florida leaving livestock behind. The horses went into the swamps and back woods and survived for centuries. They are protected today.


Don't mess with one when they are with their young. They sense danger and will strike, this gator knows. Click and it will play the video

Yes Sir,

We have shelled out some dough here and there for sure. My children now all have decent jobs in the medical field. Dough now, not so much but My Darling and I sure do shell out a LOT more time than we want. The crosses we all bear... But I am thankful....

 

[BBUK]

What a day again, got a call early for a call for early delivery. Stated they'd call 30 minutes ahead of time. Since it is now 9:46am and the window was from 10-2.......☹️

I am sitting out in front of my daughter's house ready to go in....

Have a great day!

NS in negotiations to buy the only railroad owned by a city: The 337 miles Cincy-Chattanooga Cincinnati Southern Railroad. They've had a long-term lease to operate on it. Back in college at UK in the '60's, took it 2-3X from the Ludlow Station to the old Lexington Station. Always thought that Lex station was quite nice looking.
Guess what city owns it (Hint: Not Chattanooga.)?

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

Who owns the Cincinnati Southern Railroad? I always thought it was part of Norfolk Southern.

It is a sunny and cool 37.4°F on our way to 62°.

A 3pm CST time is a strange time for a game during the week. But hopefully the Cats can actually play a little basketball today.

I see that Japan pulled off the upset of Germany, 2-1. Personally, I'm looking forward to watching the England -USA game on Friday.

Cincy actually owns it and gets like $25M/yr in lease fees from NS that they use in their annual budget.

WSJ today:

"Norfolk Southern Corp. said it plans to acquire Cincinnati Southern Railway, a railway line that it currently leases from the city of Cincinnati, for around $1.62 billion."

Cincy had it built it around 1880 to get its goods south more easily. Had to get OH Legislature to pass law allowing it. Has leased it to another railroad since the beginning. NS is the latest.

I received a text from the kids in LEX, all are in from college and getting ready for Thanksgiving. We are packing and fly out tomorrow. A couple of photos they sent. Grandkids are ready and my granddaughter is home from the USAF Academy but STILL a CAT FAN at heart. When you are raised a Cat fan you stay a Cat fan

Just super Sir,

Have a great trip. Go CATS...

 

[BBUK]

Meanwhile....still no fridge...

All is not lost.....yet

I sure could use this time I will never get back..

 

[AustinTXCat]

Forgot the game today. Heading over by daughter's place and stream it there.

Go Cats!

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

Safe travels to all.

My daughter and son in law are on their way from Shelbyville, KY to Eldersburg, MD. They just crossed the WVA and MD line.

Getting ready for the big meal tomorrow. I really don't know what to do!

 

[BBUK]

No fridge but Lowe's did call...

Stated at least three more stops...but were not sure...

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

No fridge but Lowe's did call...

Stated at least three more stops...but we're not sure...

This is horrible.
Lowe's should preform or get out of the business.

My Lowe's in Bowling Green has/have been spot on, but it depends on their people and management.

Yes, it usually comes down to the management and employees at the individual stores. So true

 

[berniecarbo]

Our local Lowes is pretty good. I go there a lot for the military discount, but it kind of makes me feel like a mercenary. That part bothers me.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Heh, got logged in. Watching game now at my daughter's place in Forge Ridge.

Go Cats!

Yes Sir,

The fridge was finally delivered and looks to be in okay shape. NOW, (I have no issues with things coming up work-wise due to the unexpected and even expected delays due to travel and things that come up at homes. I state this before I state what I am going to state now.) (I helped the two workers some where I could but they had themselves in a good work mode.)

Lowe's and I will have a talk shortly, probably Friday and may take a talk Monday but their miss-management is going to cost them. It sure cost me many hours I cannot afford to lose. (I am a documenters documenter.) We shall see....

I had issues with Lowes in San Antonio on a new set of kitchen cabinets after they ripped out our old ones. Lowe's came around to seeing things my way. They will this time as well. It is called do the right thing...

Reeves on fire from downtown. Highest scoring first half for our Cats so far this season.

Go Cats!

I didn't realize that. I sure do wish the highs and lows were closer together. Beating up teams like they are playing is fine but this team (Cal) needs to put up or shut up... jmuo

While again no basketball expert, I think the sum of the parts on this team is enough. It falls strictly on the coach/ coaching in my opinion....

The Lowe's in Ashland definitely lacks on the people/management side. Delivery guys broke the handle on the outside door and instead of telling us, they threw it down on the ground when they left. They did replace it a week later though.

 

[BBUK]

Toppin gotta get that top knot off his head.

 

[BBUK]

Come on Collins...show something in this game...gain confidence...

 

[BBUK]

Austin -- dude you're probably 2-3 blocks fm my original home -

give me a hint as to where u are the in Sewanee - down towards the nursing home & old masons lodge?

or maybe back towards Pappys?

Can I ask how old you are? Just to place if I may know you, or your people.

Hope all the D-League have a great Thanksgiving tomorrow.

Starting to get a little nervous about that Louisville football game, we have really pushed them around at the line of scrimmage in recent games, are OL isn't pushing anyone around and if it is a close game our kicking game is a disaster.

I will eat many things tomorrow...but no turkey for me, I prefer just about everything else cooked on Thanksgiving over turkey. Enjoy the food and your family gentleman.

 

[BBUK]

It's a Yuengling kind of night. Just cracking my third Yuengling Black & Tan...(Found one twelve pack at Walmart yesterday. Haven't had them for a while.). most I've drank at one sitting in a long while. Feeling a little heat on the Ole neck but other than that, feels good.

Getting ridiculous the amount of items that are just not available. I'm not spoiled by any means, I could sleep in my car tonight or on my garage floor and I wouldn't complain but I see drastic changes in the supply lines of this country and that is seriously disturbing.... Oh and it is happening ON PURPOSE and no one is doing ANYTHING about it from either side.

Not out of control but I am angry that this country's leadership seems to be selling out to the highest bidder....

The ACC is a weak conference so I have a really good feeling about Saturday's game. It comes down to this, beat UL and salvage the season or lose and the season is considered a flop. With a loss I'd be hard pressed to think that the Cats are bowl worthy. Losing 6 of their last 8 while 3 of their 6 wins were against OOC teams.

I don't trust any team that lost to Vandy so that is why I'm worried, but I agree with the rest of what you said.

We had our Thanksgiving meal this past Saturday. I am looking at tomorrow as a day of quiet and calm. I cannot express how many straight days of daylight till dark work (Home and at my job, I have endured.). I just need to be left...... Alone. I do think I am going to make a pan of biscuits in the morning if the Lord doesn't take me home. I am overdue AND I have a nice amount of ham I want to put in between those biscuits with a couple over easy eggs on the side...😁 (Oh, and coffee..I have laid off the coffee for a couple days. I am ready for a cup.) I hope my cup runneth over...

Have a great what's left of your evening and may your rest fulfill your needs...

A loss would also mean a 4-4 home record. That's disastrous.

Just to add a little fuel to the fire, UL holds the lead over UK in the modern day rivalry since 1994, 15-12. More on the line Saturday than you'd think for us fans.

Believe me I understand, I hated we didn't get to play them during the Covid year...we would have beat them, so that cost us a game on the overall record.

As a kid and while in college at UK and even a few years after...I went to every single UK vs Louisville game home or away, never missed one in the whole series.

I planned on it being a lifelong little tradition, but I don't even remember what year it was, somewhere around 2010 or 2011, I missed a game for the first time. Only been to like 3 of them since.

I'm 61, related to Laws, Langford's, Teague's. Knew some Raines, Howertons, Crockett's, Webb's, Barnes, Estes, Kidd's, Chadwell's, and others...

All my relatives are from there, and I visited normally at least annually growing up. I entered and exited the Army from Middlesboro and lived there over a year after I got out but was born and raised in Michigan. If you talked to me you'd swear I was from Kentucky. I did live in Kentucky 20 years but up Fort Knox way. E'town, Vine Grove, and Radcliff.
