D-League

I was watching that game on TV. Was already a fan of his, but more so after that.
I remember that too. I was 15 and heavily into baseball and vividly remember that. I remember wanting those guys trying to light the flag beat. I was young but had a great sense of country early.

My run-in with leadership now stems from honoring the Army and not the unit when the unit fails in Army standards.
 
Good morning from ATX. Currently 81°F and clear. We've got yet another triple-digit day in our forecast. Bah.

Wishing all another great day.

Good morning D-league.

Sweltering in the east. What they say is true —it’s the humidity, especially in DC where it pegs at 90 percent plus for three months.

Reds just can’t get over the jump with the Brewers. The games are all close, but that one at bat, that one pitch that it takes to win a tight game goes against them-at least so far.

Meanwhile, I’m stuck on the subway —a train malfunction up the line ahead of us. Metro, as the system is called, is notoriously incompetent. It’ll never change.

Hope you all have a smooth day.
 
Good morning all,

Working from home today. (Homework, what a concept.) Just drudgery. Pulling teeth is easier but all is good in the hood.

Have a great day!
A little tip for those of you who are living/working in areas where it's hard to get a carry permit or your wife is reluctant to carry. Get her a tootsie roll pop, one of those candies with a handle. Avoid situations if at all possible, but in an emergency, hold the candy in your palm with the handle sticking out between fingers. A good poke to the neck or eye should give her time to run away. Even a lib city can't outlaw candy in her purse.

Get her one of these. They can go on planes, trains and automobiles because they are considered medical devices. There are many types including light aircraft aluminum ones that are pretty sturdy. Just can't have the ones that conceal anything.

A chunk piece of one of these in each car or hand bag.... They will make a believer out of one up to no good.

Do you need med papers for proof that you need it?
Not that I am aware. At our age I don't think they would ask. If she has ever had foot problems looked at by a doctor it would be on record anyway. I have one in each vehicle and walk into many places with one. I have one made of aircraft aluminum which is practically unbreakable. The Robaina Raven.

Are canes allowed on planes? Canes are allowed on planes, as they are considered mobility devices and are therefore acceptable to bring onboard. Regardless of flight class, airlines do not consider canes as carry-on or personal items. Passengers have the option to check their cane by itself or along with their luggage if preferred.

I also read where there are no regulations against canes, they just suggest letting the flight attendants store them if you can.

Correct. I carried my Komperdell trekking pole (hiking stick) on all three return flights this past year.

Morning Legionniares!

77° this morning with a high of 101° expected. Triple digits for the next 7 days or so.

Not much going on today, just the normal walk, workout, and Miyagi do.

Reds tried to blow it last night but held on in spite of themselves against the Brew Crew. One more with the Brewers today and that is it with them (I think) unless we meet in the playoffs.

Hump day for ye toilers and wanderers. I be not one of those. Be careful out there folks and God Bless.


 
Good morning folks.

Austin, I hope you get great news this morning.

Big win for the Reds. They just could not afford to get swept in this 3-game series with the Brewers. The optimist in me looks at it this way: One more game all year against Milwaukee. And against all other teams the Reds are something like eight games ahead of them. (The realist on me is just enjoying a season where baseball will matter at least into August.)

Heading for the subway. Hope it’s a good day for all.
 
Hello all,

Been a day. Just busy...

If you've a mind, say a prayer for My Darling, we have a new appointment for her back with a new Dr. in McLean, VA Friday. The appointment was set for August 23rd but an opening came up for Friday. I am thankful...

Not sure of the outcome but it may be My Darling needs surgery.

Have a restful evening....
 
Good morning from ATX. Currently 79°F and clear. Today's high expected around 102°F.

- Shark Week got old in a hurry for me. Happy when over.

- Doctor receives MRI results today. I think she'll call if anything serious.

- Wife stopped at corner store yesterday. Somebody scanned credit card and erroneously charged $590 to AT&T. Glad CC fraud department caught on so quickly. Modern problems.

Wishing all a great day.

Good morning folks.

Austin, it sounds like at least for a while no news is good news for you, so I’ll hope for no news.

Just another day in steamy DC. Heading downtown on the subway then will get to stay home til Tuesday morning.

While my life is in a rut my kids are taking advantage of their freedom. Older daughter is at a conference in Montreal. Younger daughter is off with her BF on a quick trip to Iceland. And son went back to Lexington to tie up some loose ends from his last year at UK.

Gotta grind this one out and the week will feel less oppressive. Hope today is good for all of you.
 
@cordmaker : Below we find a picture of Waco, Texas, with Baylor University on the left. IH-35 is the long stretch of pavement. The horseshoe-shaped structure is McLane Stadium on the Brazos River. Snapped the photo on July 10.

Thank you ATX! HOW far is Waco from Fort Hood? It will ALWAYS be Fort Hood to me, don't care how many times they change the name! FHM, Fort Hood matters!!!
 
I was thinking that when we were training there that some of the guys went to Waco on the weekend, the others went south to some place called Boys Town!!!! Lol!!!!!
When I lived in Copperas Cove, we drove up to Waco couple times. Dr. Pepper Museum and Texas Ranger Museum are cool. Visited again late 2009 when Baylor played Nebraska. Walked all over downtown area. Heh, seemed abandoned in places. Much better now, from what I hear.

ATX, I am praying for you every day!!! Never met you, would like to some day! If I never do meet you, thank you for being a cyber friend and fellow D Leaguer!!!! Keep giving them hello over in the PT thread!!!
