Shocking I tell ya. Shocking. Not. I drive right by the Braves stadium on my way home from work. I turn my head so that it does not come into view. That’s how much I’m not watching pro sports. Lol #Done #Over...

Your hands, while relatively large, would not be enhanced by a dark wash, imo.

Recent headline from the Babylon Bee (satirical newspaper ala The Onion): "Orioles Sign Dr Fauci to Improve Bullpen" :) :) :)

Animal Mother's line is one of my all time favorites. I use it fairly often in "real life". Of course, the world's militaries generate many great quotes. One I learned recently. GIs preparing for D-Day "renamed" the American-made "Landing Ships - Tanks", aka, LSTs, "Large Slow Targets".

You talk the talk. But do you walk the walk?

There is risk in everything. Including doing absolutely nothing. No vaccine/drug has, can or will ever 100% guarantee that it wont have adverse effects. Given that, should there be no vaccines/drugs?

Yep. I’m done watching grown men play games. Ill be engaging in actual sport to better my mental and physical health instead.

Note: I wear a mask when Im in a public setting. And yet, Im regularly amazed at people who are dumbfounded when they see others not wearing them. I mean, we have laws against murder, rape, robbery, assault, DUI, etc., and yet... Especially given the policing aspect. Are police supposed to...

The following was posted by a college buddy of mine on a private Facebook page. He was a GBI agent for 30 years and recently retired. He’s appeared in a number of True Crime shows as an expert or former detective type. Anyway, these are his views on the arrest: Quick take based on the Floyd...

I see these charges and claims about outside agitators all over. There is never a name or an address. Just finger pointing at mysterious people, who come out of nowhere when there's upheaval, and then disappear when the upheaval subsides. Hmmm A few more things I find strange: - How is it...

As a born and bred southerner, with deep southern family roots, I find your above comment reprehensible and grossly ignorant. But then again, sure, maybe that bathroom at the mini mart was a perfect symbol for the entire region. I’ve also lived, as an adult, in the Midwest (3 different states)...

I’ve zero qualms with wishing anyone, especially veterans, a happy Memorial Day. But, just to be clear: Veterans Day is distinct from Memorial Day, a U.S. public holiday in May. Veterans Day celebrates the service of all U.S. military veterans, while Memorial Day honors those who had died while...

Perhaps what really bothers me is the class warfare tone of his posts. Implying that selfish/greedy #^$*#^&$# owners have blood on their hands and deserve to be stripped of their wealth so that others may merely survive. AKA socialist drivel.

I understand that. The issue is the underlying message. Remember all those movies where the "Military Industrial Complex" is the big bad wolf? There are now plenty of people who buy into that theme, regardless of the company in question. Repeat a sarcastic "lie" enough and it becomes...

Show me one owner, just one, who has expressed the sentiment that it will "be ok" if fans die. Ill wait. Gosh, so you also dont believe in individual responsibility? Hmmmm Millions and billions dont fall from the sky. Even the uber rich have to earn it. Every day. You think maybe a few oil...

Cynic much? So tell us. Are players greedy when they hold out, threaten to switch teams or play hard ball via their agent? What about the people who work at the stadium? Dont they want the highest pay they can get? Do the refs give their "excess income" to charity? Do the companies buying the...

Inside tidbit: Anson Mount graduated from Sewanee, aka The Univeristy of the South, also my college alma mater, a small liberal arts school located in the mtns of Tennessee. He matriculated after me so we are not acquainted. He is not a lot younger than me, but he is definitely younger. At...

{From the 5/9/20 Oped Page of WSJ} Putin’s Myths About the Soviets and World War IIThe Kremlin obscures Stalin’s cooperation with Hitler. The final defeat of Nazi Germany 75 years ago closed the bloodiest theater in humanity’s most violent war. Nowhere was the cost of the conflict higher than...

63? Good lord. That’s still ridiculously young. I counsel people on retirement finances for a living. If you’re in good health you better have a nice sized portfolio to live off SS and savings for 30+ years. Also, my experience is that most people are better off, mentally, working for well...

“I'm just going to let the clock run on the rest of my life while I sit alone with my hobbies.” That sounds wonderful -really?
