    Things that annoy me

    Contrary to what most people think most policemen do not like writing tickets. There wasn't a quota but you would here about it if you didn't. Having said that the one ticket I did not mind writing was a car in a handicap spot with out the proper signage. Regular parking tickets at the time...

    This may be sacrilegious but I wonder how good Gretzky would be if he played in todays game? Most NHL skaters make those players from the 80', 90's look like they were skating in sand. And the passing , stickhandling and moves these player today have are so far above what they did back then. Now...

    I think it would have been great if the new Pope who grew up in Chicago came out on the balcony today wearing a Blackhawks jersey!

    Things that annoy me

    I wanted to buy some 3d printed vehicles from a vender on ebay in the UK and the shipping etc was almost as much as the item I wanted so I did not get it. It's a shame because he had quite a few items that I would have bought

    I'm hoping for a Toronto - Edmonton final. As you stated Toronto has not had a cup forever and as for Edmonton I want to see McJesus in the finals. Speaking of former Blues coaches that went on to better things how about Scotty Bowman, Al Arbour, Joel Queunville. They all got their start in St...

    George I was just getting ready to post about that game last night. That is one that will remain forever in disappointing endings. Just as I turned to my wife and said "there going to win" The Jets score with 1.6 seconds to go. From that point on I knew the Jets would win. All year long the...

    I gave up trying to understand the logic also. Remember his FAMILY said he was not a gang member. That should be enough to set him free! As you said Tom they are here illegally, end of story.

    Even though I'm 100% for the death penalty I'll be watching some documentary about the plight of a person on death row and I'll start to feel sorry for them. But then I'll wake up and think this is what they deserve. Get myself another beer and I'm fine.

    I retired in 08 and if you recall the market tanked then. I did not panic and left everything ride. I now or at least 2 days ago had quadrupled my money without adding a dime. In my mind this market downturn there is a direct cause that need not happen. What do I care if shoes are made in Asia...

    When Biden won in 2020 I thought the stock market would tank. It did not and it rose to record highs. Then Trump wins and he starts this tariff BS. I understand the principle behind it and it is right. However example Vietnam makes shoes that comes to the U.S. so now the U.S. cannot the next day...

    I read an article on this crockett. She went to a prestigious high school in St Louis, then went on to a highly regarded college, don't remember which one. This same article showed her in her years before running for congress speaking and it was very articulate. Fast forward to now. Appealing to...

    I know Trump is much smarter than me when it comes to business but why fix what's not broken. The economy and the market were doing just fine. You have to know these countries are not going to sit back and not do anything. I'm afraid the common people will feel the brunt of this especially if...
