Still think the best portrayal of god is Alanis Morissette

One of the first things I noticed when we moved here, people actually return carts. Or at least most of them. So nice to live in a civilized area.

This is one hell of an ad…

Just a bunch of peaceful tourists… https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/internal-park-police-emails-reveal-more-gun-incidents-warnings-on-jan-6/2793649/

Saw a way too early mock that had Detroit drafting fourth, taking CB Dereck Stingley Jr. Then Sam Howell with LA’s pick.

That ranks right up there with YoungOne’s claim that people are leaving the state in droves. Looking at all the building here and along the I95 corridor I think most of the loss is in dark red areas where they don’t wasn’t any “foreigners” or halfbacks anyway.

As long as these guys are still out there, no way I’m considering QOP

But the way the QOP is stacked now nobody wins the nomination without The Godfather’s blessing. Never Trumpers are going to be hard to convince unless he/she completely disavows TFG

I’d guess prior to 2016 about 60% of the active members of this group supported candidates other than Democrats.

I’ll give you one as well. Feeling generous

Isn’t assessed value about 50% or so of market value. I think that’s what we were running in Farmington Hills

Zillow estimates the average home price in Hoffman Estates at around $320 thousand. I would guess they live on the edge of HE and Barrington, which would put it closer to $400 thousand. Still not bad for the NW suburbs. I ran a quick Zillow check on a house we owned about 25 years ago on the Aurora/Naperville line. It seems to fall in that range.

My Awchy what big hands you have you dingbat. 658 arrests is slightly mor than a handful. Not to mention a few Congress critters that aided and abetted

Good to know things are going well. My wife caught her diagnosis very early. Lumpectomy found everything. Two years later still clean. The follow up drugs tend to knock her flat however.

Basically if I’m walking (especially with the dog who tends to want to jump at the bike) as long as I know they’re coming I can get off the path. if I’m on the bike they’re generally walking to the right of me, hence the shoutout

Watching the Deadthings-Atlanta game. That guy from ODU is looking pretty good for the Landover team.

One of bicycle peeves on the bike/walking trails is that bicyclists very rarely alert walkers/runners that they are approaching from behind. Just a quick comment “passing on the left/right” or whatever. Same with passing slower riders. It was quite common in Illinois several years ago (Prairie Path) but I seldom heard it in Michigan. Since I tend to walk my dog along the trails it would be nice to get her out of the way before something happens to both the dog and rider without having to look over my shoulder all the time. Second, what is the etiquette when there is both a bike lane and a multipurpose trail along a route? I would prefer staying on the multipurpose trail given the number of construction trucks in the area but don’t want to piss odd neighbors who insist on walking 3 or 4 abreast

“Never heard of her, who is she” TFG

Attention

By the way, are y’all ready for the Ted Nugent for Governor campaign?

That’s close to how I’m seeing the Virginia Gubernatorial and other races this year. It’s going to be a bellwether for 2022. Youngkin is trying to play both sides of the GOP, admitting out loud that Biden won the election but still paying fealty to Godfather Donald. Attempting not to say much about topics like abortion, etc. The fact here is that areas like Northern Virginia, Hampton Roads and Richmond suburbs are gaining population and are trending blue. The rest of the state is deep deep Trump territory but are seeing large numbers of people leaving. If Youngkin can eek out a victory over McAuliffe, who is a centrist Democrat it could possibly be a blueprint for 2022 and 2024.

But they would be islands in the Red Sea. Same here where there are streams of red among the larger blue areas. Bottom line I think we would end up with several small countries, all going bankrupt

Was thinking about the secession thing while driving today, three hour trip across the state. I have no clue how one would draw country boundaries. Outside of Detroit, Oakland, Wayne and maybe Ann Arbor who else would go blue. Even if you had enough votes to keep the state part of the Blue Union the rest of the state would rebel. Pretty much the same here. Divide the state from the DC suburbs down to maybe just west and north of Richmond, throw in the Hampton Roads area north of the James River. The rest would probably form a Union with West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Tennessee etc…. The east could hook up with Maryland, New Jersey and the east coast. Not sure about Delaware. The were the wild card when this whole thing started around 1787.

Got behind a guy on his small motorcycle doing just that today. I was on a back road going thru a small town. 45 mph speed limit, he was barely doing 30. I finally waited until there was a turn lane, still had a double line to pass him after about 3 miles. I kind of felt sorry for the guy, he had what looked like to be vet stickers on the back of the bike. The parade of cars behind me was getting long however.
