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.

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.

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

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

No Place Like Home

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...

 

[AustinTXCat]

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.

 

[UK82]

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.

 

[BBUK]

"Raines, Howertons, Crockett's, Webb's, "

Raines - dated hot Kim Raines in HS

Howertons - i remember Andy Howerton ...seems he was a little shit on the bus

Crockett's - yep ...Ruby taught me in first or second grade at Ellen Meyers - that field there now (minus the apts) - is owned by my brothers' Philippine connection

Webb's - Played football with Tommy at MHS
/- played music with Haskell --- there were some alluring Webb females

Remember Iva Smith or Ms Skeen?
Robert & Betty Ruble ?
Tim Bolinger ((((😖careful answering that one))))


you are close to my next older brother -- Bobby ...played good football at Powell Valley - graduated about 81

Can't say I knew them but I think I heard of a couple of them. I am about the youngest except for my cousin Gary. My Dad was the youngest of seven brothers and a sister. Each of them had two boys and a girl. Just amazes me to this day. (One or two brothers had a child out of wedlock too.)(All of them lived in the Middlesboro area except me, my older brother and older sister. They both still live in Michigan.)

I graduated in 79 but in Michigan.

Look forward to talking with you more.

Good Thanksgiving Morning

Central Gulf Coast of Florida checking in at 65° and scattered clouds on the way to 75° with no chance of rain.

Today is a day for families and friends to pause and be thankful for who we are and what we are. To thank God for providing our needs and keeping us safe another day. In times past most people made a living by the sweat of their brow and a I always think about the men and women who came before me and their sacrificies and hard work to make a better life.

My mother was one such person who worked hard for the family and was always there when we needed a hug or a word of encouragement. I never saw her "down" a day in her life. Always positive, always a smile and always a good word.

She was very traditional and in my first year of school I had to give a word to the class about the Pilgrims so she made me the Pilgrim suit the day before class, I had to wear it to school that day. She made the buckles out of cardboard, wrapped with aluminum foil and the hat was made of cardboard. The white scarf was a piece of linen on the living room table. Thanksgiving 1949. That was mama.

Have a great day all, we are headed out to the airport soon to join family up North in Kentucky. Prayers for all.

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Good morning folks.

And Happy Thanksgiving.

We’ll have a nice traditional feast at my Maryland home which will include my wife, daughter, her boyfriend and my wife’s parents. The women will bake and my wife’s step-father, who is an excellent cook, will have a perfect Turkey, home-made cranberry sauce and lots of other dishes.

A small gathering but it’ll be nice.

As someone who has been in Mogadishu, Kabul, Baghdad and a remote Marine camp in northern Saudi Arabia on Thanksgiving Day, stable and comfortable are big virtues for me.

[55wildcat]

Best wishes to all you old turkeys for a HAPPY THANKSGIVING.

 

[storm1507]

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

We'll be heading out to my parents soon. So thankful that they are both still with us and we get Mom's Thanksgiving Dinner. Leaving the mountains this morning, going through Lexington (lived there as a child), and on to Salvisa. We should have a crowd of about 40.

Fun little game yesterday. I'm glad I choose to enjoy sports now instead of wallowing in misery.

Be careful on the roads today and enjoy your Thanksgiving.

 

[warrior-cat]

Happy Thanksgiving all and God Bless.

Towards Pappy's. Corner of Foxglove and Bristol Rd. Staying there again tonight. Larry Ellis' place.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning and Happy Thanksgiving from Forge Ridge, TN. Currently 33°F and sunny. Today's high expected around 63°F.

Watched "Hell or High Water" last night. Filmed around West Texas. Interesting flick. Heh, I drank only two beers. Getting older.

Drove over to MCD in Middlesboro earlier and grabbed breakfast for everybody. At my daughter's place near Forge Ridge school right now. She's got really fast internet. Ex is cooking turkey roast and ham in the oven. We'll probably eat around 2 or 3 pm.

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