I grew up a Browns fan as their games were shown on Cincy TV. I was still Browns fan went I left for UK. Bengals didn't start till I was a junior. Them we went to MA till '72. When I got back to Cincy area, it felt real strange that people were Bengals not Browns fans as I was still a Brownie. I very gradually shifted my support & only when Browns moved to Baltimore did I fully change. But even then, and now, I'm only a mild/fair weather Bengals fan. Never got the initial jolt.

Md, glad to hear tonight that you won't be honored in the upcoming new FALLEN Journalists Memorial on/off The Mall.
Good evening D, I really thought that they would win Saturday, good game! If you're up between 10 and 2 in the morning you may be able to see the Northern lights, this ole boy won't, worked at Hope2 All today and I am beat, walked 3.8 miles between 8 and 1 fighting going to sleep right now. Sometimes when you say something not intending to make someone laugh, but someone over hears it and they tell you that what you said made their day better, just feels good! I was telling one of the ladies about harvesting the hummingbird seeds, I told her she can save them or if you don't like someone just throw them in their yard. Well for some reason it totally cracked the lady up, and she said, I really needed a good laugh and you did!! Have a great evening D!
Right on cue. Cards leading Pirates 2-0 in 7th, bases loaded, no outs. First batter strikes out. Next one a force play at the plate. The base runner slides on a force play instead of running through the base, would have been safe had he run through the base. Geez, these guys are making millions and do dumb crap all the time. Next batter makes the third out. Even if they hold on and win, you can't play like that in pro ball. As a guy whose life was baseball/softball, that gripes my butt.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 77°F and clear. Excessive heat warning in effect. We may reach 97°F today. Summer refuses to end.
Worked with former Sister in-law yesterday on Thanksgiving menu for Germany. Still working it. 18 pound bird gonna cost at least $125.00. Counting on 14-16 guests. Supplementing meal with 4 lbs ham and 2 lbs venison.
Rather than visit Pilsen, Czech Republic, we may hit up Bamberg. Germans restricting border crossings. Can't blame 'em.
Wishing all a great day.

Good morning folks. Cloudy and muggy in the east. Our cooler days may be over for a couple weeks.
Running a bit late this morning but our crunch of getting the Trump - Harris interviews done and edited and the pages designed is passed, so it’s okay.
Thanks for those thoughts, VHC. That wedge on the Mall where the Journalists Memorial is going is not far from my offices. A nice spot if families want a place to remember. More than 20 men and a couple women I knew and worked closely with never came home from their last assignment.Now, that’s over a long period of time, from Bosnia and Somalia in the early 1990s to Iraq and Afghanistan through 2006, and places in between like Kosovo and Sierra Leone.. So it doesn’t compare to the constant losses of a combat unit. I used to say a prayer for them over at the Newseum’s Memorial but that closed. So I’m looking forward to the new Memorial opening.
Heading to Kentucky at the end of the week to check in on dad. Hoping for good weather for the drive.

Probably won't be around much next two weeks (Good news, right?). Leaving for Prague tomorrow morning. After three days, head south to Passau, Germany & pick up river longboat on Danube heading east for a week - Linz/Krems/Vienna/Bratislava/Budapest. .
^No sooner posted the above & power flashed off/on. Good ole Duke.
Dry as can be here, Md. No change expected for over a week unless that Carolina storm gives a shower or two tonight. Temps near 90.
Greg Cook, wow. He was a star in the making till the arm injury. Like Couch.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 77°F and clear with periodic clouds. Today's high may reach 97°F. Perhaps another 10 days of this heat.
Happy Hump Day, y'all.
Breakfast on the ferry voyage between Kirkwall and Lerwick. Just delicious.

Good morning folks. A cloudy, morning got and gloomy day in the east, at least early. Getting into the city early in hopes that I can get enough done at work that taking off Friday will not be a headache when I come back Monday.
Not much else happening. Have a good day.

Good morning on this hump day. It is partly cloudy 66.4°F, it is supposed to get to 84° and a 5% chance of rain.
@AustinTXCat that breakfast has variety. Is the dark circular food a sausage? What kind of beans?
Went to the doctor over a skin condition that started in January after I had Covid 19 in December. The doctor would not say that they are connected. We did a blood drawing and he suggested that I would probably be put on some very strong steroids if the blood test backs up his diagnosis.
You all have a good day.

Bert, get well soon.
Circular food is called "Black Pudding". Made from pork or sometimes beef blood, with pork fat or beef suet, and a cereal, usually oatmeal, oat groats, or barley groats.
Beans are usually Heinz baked beans.
I'm a Trump too...
Hello all,
Been stupid busy, going back to work tomorrow and dread it. (Never said that in my life...) I am thankful... God Bless you D-League...

Good morning from ATX. Currently 79°F and partly cloudy. Excessive heat warning in effect. Today's high may max out around 99°F. Break in this weather coming next week.
Still working with former sister in-law on Thanksgiving feast. We're roughly 9 weeks out. Awaiting responses before ordering turkey.

Old downtown Lerwick.
Yes, Volvo manufactures light watercraft. Never knew it until last month.

76° this morning with a high of 101° expected for the day. @AustinTXCat, same for us here next week as far as cool down. Although, it is the norm around here that the closer we get to next week, that will probably change.
Nothing much going on today other than the normal. Walk the monster, morning workout, maybe clean the house (if not today, tomorrow) and then, couch potato time. Reds play at 1210 pm central so; I will probably watch the game. Not many games left this year.
You folks stay safe out there today (and everyday) and God Bless.
My oncologist, Dr. Jane Chawla, is interviewed in this video about cancer on local news. She's the main reason I'm still here. Plan on telling her as much Oct 01.

Austin doctor speaks on blood cancer awareness

Good morning. It is a sunny 76.1°F already. At 8:00 am it was 68° so it is going up fast. We are supposed to get up to 90°F. Summer may go out like a hot lion. We are dry.
Happy Friday Eve.

Hello all this early Thursday afternoon,
Most of the time nothing is as bad as you think it is... (Most of the time.) In this instance it wasn't. I am thankful.. So far the day has been good. I am off on my regular day-off tomorrow so..... I am in deed....thankful.
I do hope all your days are going well for you...

80° this morning with a high of 102° expected for the day. Grass is brown as we have not had rain in a while. Possibility of rain on Sunday, (go figure) as that is the first day of fall league (co-ed) softball.
Watched TNF last night and Aaron Rodgers looked as good as he in the past. He is the oldest player in the league (soon to be 41) and has the youngest player in the league as one of his running backs (Braelon Allen). They beat the Patriots 21-3.
Saw where Shohei Ohtani is the first player in MLB history to hit at least 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases during a season.
Go get that workday out of the way folks and prepare for the weekend. Maybe we can get a UK win this weekend.
God Bless.
Good morning everyone.
I've been down to the lake (Cumberland) all week. I only fished once catching a couple of small ones. We were a little more successful squirrel hunting.
I spent most of my time cutting trees. Man o man are these dying trees out there causing me trouble. After cutting what I needed to do now I decided to cut a couple leaning towards our garage. One caused some trouble....actually broke a logging rope getting it cut. But, it's done. I'm sore but supposed to help work on the hiking trail again today.
Can UK football salvage this season?? It will be tough. I'm still one to look forward to Bball season during Fball season.
I hope everyone has a great day.

He was six for six, 3 homers, 2 doubles, 2 stolen bases, 10 runs batted in. Almost un heard of stats.

Good morning folks.
I postponed mytrip home to Kentucky for a couple weeks. I've been battling a mild stomach flu. It wasn't enough to keep me from working long days, but it gradually has worn me town until I'm really fatigued. And sitting in a car along for 525 miles (one way) with stomach pain just finally seemed to be too much to take.
My RN wife wants me to go to the doctor. A drawback of being married to a health care worker is she knows too much about pain and suffering:
Me: "My stomach is still hurting."
Her: "Go see a doctor."
Me: "It is just temporary stomach pain, probably a really mild flu."
Her: "You know how many people have come in the hospital with 'mild stomach pain' and it turned out to be a symptom of a horrible fatal disease?"
Me "(silence. Where can you go from there?)
Glad it is Friday, and I'm not sitting in my car grinding through the West Virginia mountains. I hope you folks have a good day.

Hello. Prague weather nice and town interesting. Headed out to dinner.
Hello all,
Day off? Off day... (Nah, My Darling and I went to the Quantico Marine Base Commissary...) Just returned a few minutes ago with a lunch stop at Popeye's (My Darlings idea.)
Thinking about watching a John Wayne movie in mind I just saw this...
Yeah, I stopped off at the package store (Class Six) on post too.... (Had a little sale...) (I stocked up...)
Have a fine afternoon...

It gets hot every time bow season comes in, in Kentucky!!!!!
ATX, saw you over in the other thread talking about trademarks, I could ask Bert to post some pictures of something I make out of Stained-glass or maybe BBUK could post what I made for him.
IT'S GAME DAYEEAAYEEAAYEEAAY!
WHAT?! I STILL HAVE HOPE.

Morning D, woke up about 4:30 thinking, what is that noise, got and it was pouring down rain! Between 4:30 and 5:30 months we got over an inch of rain!!
Back in the late seventies, early eighties, I was working at the "atomic plant" near Paducah. The gov bought up a lot of land around the plant to keep people away, so deer was plentiful. It could be hunted in certain areas at certain times. During one deer season, a guy decided to go deer hunting. He wore a plastic bag for camo\rain gear and brought a 12 pack of beer with him and sat out in a field drinking beer. Some other guy thought he was a deer and shot him through the heart. Empty beer cans were all around him.
Been at the BB's soccer game. Got up so late, no coffee.... Just partaking.. Give me a minute and I will post the picture brother Cord Sir..... (Enjoyed these skits..)
My camera on my phone is not much but that UK piece is a deep Blue... Army colors are Army colors... Just a treasure to me and My Darling... My Darlings favorite color... too... Thanks Brother Sir!
Good morning folks.
Sunny, beautiful day in the east. Back from a run, followed by a short hike.
Bernie, that story about the guy being shot by a deer hunter reminded me of being in central Pennsylvania back in the early 1980s working on a pipeline job -- we were laying a gas line across the Susquehanna River.
On the first weekend of deer season in November we had Sunday off, and I was thinking I'd just hike out into a wooded area near where we were working and see some scenery.
I picked up a local paper on my way out to the woods and a story caught my eye: It warned people heading out into the woods to be careful, and noted, "There will be more armed people in the woods of Pennsylvania than there were armed American troops in Vietnam at the height of the war..." That sort of blew my mind and I decided I'd just hang around the local town where we were working.
That was more than 40 years ago, but I googled this story, and apparently things haven't changed much:
