  1. Looks like they got out of NY just in time 4.8 earthquake edit, hope Sue's OK
  2. The economy really is in the dumpster...
  3. "If those folks from NY, NJ, Fla, and Texas stop moving in then maybe they'll stop cutting down all the trees and building subdivisions on unwanted farmland" That seems to be the current trend on Nextdoor. Or to quote a waitress from Western North Carolina a few years ago. "This place would be better if it weren't for the "Half-Backs" Hey but that was before Trump and Fox started screaming about the Mexican boarder.
  4. Works for me, turned it back on just in time to see the no no come to an end. Figured I jinxed it and turned it off
  5. Danny Murtaugh's son Tim played minor league ball for a while. He managed in Salem for a season in the early 70s. Danny had retired (briefly) then. He was at the game with his toddler grandson. I wasn't one to just walk up to a celebrity then. Talked my younger brother into asking for an autograph.
  6. Listening to the Mets TV team. Used to listen Gary Cohen back in the 80s. He spent some time doing the Norfolk Tides broadcast in those days. Incidently he was employed at the same radio station as Bob Rathbun. They were here at the same time.
  7. They still have a piece of my heart. Family homestead was about 30 miles west of Pittsburgh, near McKeesport. I was 8 in 1960. My son was born 9 months after the We Are Family Bucs won the series. When we moved south in the mid '60, one of the Pirates farm clubs were in nearby Salem, first as their Rookie League team, then Class A Salem. It was fun watching guys like Dave Parker, Ed Ott, John Candelaria and Omar Moreno come up in the minors.
  8. First time I've ever seen that call. Umpire interference
  9. Sorry for the double post above. Two topics on one replay. Getting old and multi tasking is hell sometimes
  10. To me the false argument is trying to argue about the pandemic economy vs the current state. I can go back to 2017 when we sold our house and began downsizing. A two bedroom bath ranch apartment cost us about 1300 a month in March of 2017. It was a move in special on a 16 month lease....it went up to just over 1600 when we renewed in 2018. If we would have renewed the end of 2020 it would have been around 1800 or more. Now they're asking about 2050 for the same apartment. Our current Mortgage for a similar sized townhouse is about 1400 a month. Gas prices fluctuated as they always do under every administration. Food prices have gone up just about every year since I moved out of my parents home in 1973, but then I'm also making more than $150 a week than I did back then and thank to things like IRA's and HSA's were in decent shape. Hell yes I'm better off than I was 4 or even 8 years ago.
  11. Not saying there was an economic plan but some people forget that Obama's successor's staff basically tore up and trashed a plan to deal with a possible pandemic
  12. I don’t think Jimmy Buffett was a Trump support, at least not overtly
  13. Throw in a large number of very rich people who pay people next to nothing to do their bidding. Because taxes…
  14. If he had been a normal Joe Schmoe who didn’t become a MAGA media darling how could he have afforded the Eliza Dolittle treatment. Not surprised the Dr Frankenstein Party and media created a monster
  15. You would think something like that would be attended to well before the game not in the 8th inning of the second home series. Horrible franchise, If I still lived there it would be enough to make me a Kane County fan
  16. They've canceled schools here as well. But since it seems most of the districts are on Easter (Spring) break this week, it doesn't seem like a huge deal to tack on another day. They could just easily call it a pollen day. I had an inkling this morning to try to head over to Wallops Island since NASA has planned a couple of test rockets to study the event. The three hour drive on heels of a long weekend in Durham made me quickly nix that. I'm sure it's also nearly impossible to find lodging nearby. We're a bit to far to clearly see a daytime launch here, I've seen a couple night time ones.
  17. Is Damd Yankees still running
  18. Or ships from Massachusetts
  19. Tale of two campaigns
  20. 1836…Battle of San Jancinto, Sam Houston defeated Santa Anna to win Texas Independence.
  21. That’s what happens when you assign scheduling to AI
