Man yells homophobic slurs at Metro passengers in DC; Metro police investigating

WASHINGTON (DC News Now) — A Maryland couple is detailing the discrimination they faced while riding the Metro this weekend in Northwest D.C. Mishka Espey and their partner were on their way home from a kickball game Sunday afternoon. They hopped on a Red Line train at Dupont Circle on their way...

Haha. I don't condone bullying anybody, and agree that whoever was being targeted by this nut should be left in peace on the Metro.

But it is remarkable how quickly something like homophobic slurs becomes a big Metro issue and a national news story when women get harassed on Metro by homeless bums every day, some get touched in inappropriate places by sexual deviants, there are plenty of assaults and lots of people are made to feel uncomfortable by lunatic losers, and that all gets pretty much ignored with a shrug.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 64°F and breezy. Today's high expected around 72°F or so.

Have we got a new coach yet?

Happy Hump Day, y'all.

Good morning all,

Breaking my own protocol but that's okay, I don't enforce it riligiously.

Had a meet and greet with the general manager for company that built my house. (He had been there before, luckily a decent joe.) I am again thankful..

They are not doing everything but I'd hate to live on the difference between what we wanted and what they agreed to do. (Using a quasi John Wayne line from Rio Bravo...

Big changes for me in I think a good way. Not fully official yet but with what I have to prove, I have it covered well so not concerned.

I will hopefully be able to finish up like I'd hoped. "God willing and the river don't rise..."... (The Green Beret.)

I think I will hit the commisary and the class six during "dinner" today.

Take care and I DO hope Barnyard does this right.....

Do you actually have a Class 6 anymore or is it like on Ft. Sill where all of the alcohol has been moved to the Shoppettes.

I can get gas a lot cheaper off post but the class six is right on the way to the commissary and close. Can get a better deal on post with beer and stuff plus no taxes but they DO have the surcharge...

They have a heckuv a choice of booze... I just hit the beer... A few chips and stuff but it is nearly all alchohol.

Oh, Just log onto Youtube and create a free account. It will give you an account where you can upload and share items like I did the Luray Cavern organ several posts back. (I think on the last page from this one.)

It will give you an option to share. Just copy the link and paste it into a message here. It works pretty well.

Yeah, I was at Belvoir years ago (2 different times actually) to re-certify my Passport Agent status for Ft. Sill.

The Class 6 that I went to was more Class 6 and less Shoppette than here. There was more alcohol there than food/supplies. Here at Ft. Sill, it is about 50/50. Half the store for supplies and the other half alcohol and they are smaller than the ones at Belvoir.

A lot of functional drunks here....


When I first arrived to work in DC back in November of 2016 on my first day, I was invited to a mixer at 5pm...they drank until near midnight. (I never went to another one but I do attend many functions and they booze it up.) MTF but this was all executives and political appointees and such. (I was in the peon type class and still am but I am around them.) This was a Monday night. Nearly as bad as in Korea.

Me too, but I am at the point right now where I am hoping they take their time to get the right guy. So many are going crazy wanting the hire to happen at this moment. For me, what we need is to sit back and look at some younger coaches who are on the upswing and are hungry. Ones that want a challenge and have an "I don't care what they think" attitude.

My wife this morning said that UK needs a guy like "Chucky" (John Gruden). Meaning of course a coach with his attitude and intensity. Could not argue with that. Until we get one it is "Go Reds" (starting slow however) and look out Bass. I guess you could say that I am also hooked on Bass.

Be safe out there folks, happy hunting UK, and God Speed to all.

Been reading but they are completely gone wild. Made a couple posts but nothing overboard. Don't envy Uncle Jed and ILL for the next several days/ weeks until a coach is announced and then the fall out.

There will always be those who will be unhappy no matter who we hire. The Legion of Doom element will never go away, it just changes members with every situation. I too could be in that group if we were let's say, hire someone like Bruce Pearl as I think he is too skeevy to coach here. However, I would give him a chance, but he would be on a tight leash. Admittedly, I was recently in the LOD (so to speak) with reference to CAl's performance the past 2 or 3 years.

Right now however, I am really relaxed with the situation and understand that the fix will not be overnight so, the next couple of years or so could be difficult on UK fans.

Good morning everyone

We've been busy. We did get to get out and enjoy a hike yesterday and had a good time. We were looking for mushrooms (morels) and I jumped up a dove in a brush pile so knew to look. Looky what I found out in the middle of nowhere.

We were able to find a few mushrooms and came back home and found a dozen on our property. First time we've found more than one. Here's the largest.

We're going on a hike with our older group in the morning and then off to the lake. I won't be around much during this time but hope to at least hear about our new hire if it doesn't happen today.

I hope everyone has a great day.

I haven't seen anything official but Pope will have my support as well. He's not as young as some are making it out......51. He's got some good wins and has a decent system (I haven't watched enough the last 4 years to really add much).

I think I'll venture over to RR.....deep breath.....pray for me.

You know, in reality, I will watch and support but, my expectations have waned over the last few years to the point that I have become somewhat indifferent.

I have a little thought in the back of my mind that the powers that be realize they will not get who they want right now and maybe have been given word that one of these home run hires have told them they would be available in a year or so. So, perhaps this is a secret interim hire to prepare for the better hire a little later down the road.

Wishful thinking? Come on into my world for a bit, sit down, and have a drink.

I've got better things to do than RR right now.

Spent yesterday evening out in the rain ditching water runoff. Here's a pic from my little county road looking down the valley (holler). We need bigger culverts since they redid the Hwy (119) going over the mountain. It all runs down on us now.

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip.
It started from this country road, around this tiny tip.

Be safe out there Storm.
