Motor City Sonics

Nah, sometimes a brand new start is good. Like moving into a new house. We can't be like Beaver Cleaver and remove the tree from your old house and replant it here. Besides, I rank really high in Reputation Points and I since I am no good at anything, I want to challenge Bertie for the title..........if only I could photoshop. I dare you to like this. I DARE YOU !!!!!!

Take away their guns. If they end up ever being in possession of one again - Life in Prison.

Is it not Treason?

Every radio station I've worked at smoking was banned in the studios. Rock & Alternative rock stations with a lot of smokers too. Pretty rare in the 80s/90s. It's a nightmare on cart machine and reel to real tape deck heads. Only one instance of someone who ignored the rule and they got suspended. My parents were both smokers (and both later quit) and I couldn't stand it as a kid, there was no way I was ever going to do it. My dad died from asbestos-related cancer. Probably got exposed 40 years before the symptoms showed, that's just crazy.

1 game is 100% worth it. He set a tone. He sent a message "Don't f*ck with me" and that's worth the 1 game. Screw the Lightning and screw the Canucks too.

Wow, he got rooked there. But there were a lot of bad pitch calls, especially in the favor of the Dodgers ROBOT UMPS NOW

It's amazing that in my 20s I was fine with it and I can't stand cigarette smoke and would come home, side door, take all the cloths off, throw them right down the stairs into a bin in the basement and go right to the shower, wash my hair, and then go to bed so my pillow wouldn't smell. That's like a whole different lifetime, man.

Nutjob Allen West is telling people not to fear COVID because even though he was hospitalized, he didn't die. That's like Tupac telling people not to fear bullets after the first time he got shot 5 times. It's just irresponsible as Hell, but that's Allen West for you.

I didnt like being in a crowded bar before this happened, so things are peachy for me.

See, what happened it 12 Monkeys was a true story from the future and a REAL time traveler wrote the screenplay and we'll be living underground soon. It's all David Morse's fault. (I should post this on Q-Tard site, they'll believe anything).

The ones I work with. On the days I go into the office I have to wear a mask all day, and not a cloth one, a surgical one. They are itchy, they are annoying, they make things a lot warmer than a cloth mask, but hey, that's the rule, I work for a hospital (in the office building, not directly in contact with patients), so I don't think they are just throwing it out there willy nilly. And we no longer have unvaccinated employees, the 400 or so that refused are no longer employed. Their choice, tough luck, good luck in future endeavors. We have over 40,000 employees, I think it was less than 10 doctors that refused to get vaccinated (who weren't disqualified for health reasons). I'll trust the thousands of doctors who did. They're the experts. I don't like wearing masks, but when I got to a place that has a lot of people, I will wear one. When I go to a store I'm not required to wear a mask, but I wear one. I'm not worried about getting sick, but I don't want to get someone else sick because I can still carry the virus, even though I've already had my booster at this point. I went about a week without wearing a mask in that situation but after talking to a friend who survived cancer, I decided to do it again. I've been to a few concerts, but I haven't been to any sporting events. I haven't missed that much, it's so damned expensive just to show up to a game anymore. Watching the crowd at the Wings game made me miss it a bit, but not going probably saved me $300, so I am fine. I don't know about these lockdowns you seem to be referencing, where are they? We don't seem to be headed for more of them. It's just now we have to make some adjustments between that and what life was like before that. I'm willing. My life is mostly back to normal and because someone at my second job decided not to get the shot (not a right-winger, just silly hippie mentality), I am actually picking up more work and benefiting financially. I wish them good luck burning sage or whatever the f*ck they think will fend this shi* off.

I'll listen to what the doctors have to say.

Well, there may not be an end to this. If enough people refuse to protect themselves or others around them this will continue. COVID is here for good. We are nowhere near herd immunity and so it will continue. Polio still exists but we vaccinated enough people worldwide to limit the spread.

I'm not saying that at all. I'm just saying this latest spike is being driven by school being back in session and kids gathering and many of them not adhering to mask policies or districts simply not having them. And covid may have little effect on kids, but kids bring it home.

Hey, it was just speculation on my part. The timing would seem to indicate that people started gathering at a higher rate in the last few weeks. I am sure that a lot of schools started their year enforcing mask policy and then dropped their guard, got lax. My girlfriend is a teacher and she's noticed that. My friend's wife said her school has gotten beaten down by the more obnoxious parents and just worn out trying to enforce just about anything. The kids gather, they take it home with them and it spreads. Outside of cities, in more Republican-leaning areas they are still reluctant to mask up and the vaccine rate is lower. I can't speak to what goes on in Chicago schools or anywhere else, it might be the way they report and release their stats, but there is evidence that schools could be driving this new spike. A lot of other state start school in early or mid August. They might have had this happen a month ago. https://www.clickondetroit.com/health/good-health/2021/10/14/107-michigan-covid-facts-delta-surging-rapidly-masks-in-school-starting-winter-worse-than-last-year/ Here are some highlights of the article. There were 393 outbreaks and clusters in K-12 schools over this time period. School cases and mask policies K-12 schools reported the greatest number of new outbreaks and clusters (81) this week. There were an additional 11 new outbreaks in childcare and youth programs, for a total of 92 outbreaks in settings primarily with 0-19-year-olds. These school/child program outbreaks account for 57% of all known new outbreaks in Michigan. State officials said 7% of school districts (36 total) have rescinded their mask policies. 42% (222 out of 533) of K-12 school districts in Michigan have mandatory mask policies. School districts with mandatory mask policies cover 60% (748,181 out of 1,252,808) of K-12 students. 7% of K-12 school districts (36 total) have rescinded mask policies. Districts without mask requirements are experiencing higher case rates. The 5- to 18-year-old school population case rates are higher and rose faster in districts without mask requirements. Districts with complete or partial mask requirements have lower COVID case rates and slower increases in those rates. Districts with mask rules might also have other prevention measures that can contribute to lower transmission levels. COVID cases in children Each day in Michigan, more than 425 children under age 12 become infected with COVID-19. On average, there are 50 more children getting infected per day in Michigan than last week Pediatric case rates are up to 305.6 cases per million. Last week, that number was 269.4 cases per million. The pediatric hospital census* is averaging approximately 34 per day (last week: 30 per day) Case increases in Michigan are largest in school-aged children (5-18 years old). School-aged children saw a rapid rise in COVID cases beginning over the school reopening period, and that trend has remained high following their return to school. Outbreaks Officials identified 161 new outbreaks in the past week. The increase in outbreaks since last week (364 to 393) includes increases in high schools (123 to 133), middle schools (89 to 92), and pre-K/elementary schools (146 to 164). Outbreaks among school administration declined (from five to four outbreaks). The greatest number of new outbreaks after schools was among long-term care/skilled nursing facilities, with 30. There were seven new outbreaks in manufacturing/construction settings. There were six new outbreaks in retail settings. Eight other types of settings had at least one new outbreak in the last week, Michigan officials said. The total number of active outbreaks is up 6% from last week. Cases by age group 31-50-year-olds are beginning to increase to the highest age group after school children. Previous COVID surges had larger proportions of cases found in adults. 10-19-years-olds are experiencing the greatest case burden, at 596 daily cases and 474.8 cases per million per day. After 10-19-year-olds, the highest case rates, in order, are in these age groups: 30-39, 40-49, 20-29, and 0-9.

At least this place doesn't have that stupid Bet Rivers add with the obnoxious guy pointing at me angrily. Who the hell thought THAT image would entice one to go to their site?

I think I'm gonna stick around here.

When did the Giants sign Brandon Inge?

I'm not so sure he does, actually. Maybe fined, but he has no rep and he was 100% justified to react like that. Too bad it's months until we play those bastards again. They took a lot of uncalled cheap shots all night. The officials were garbage last night.

I'm really gonna miss that lead singer from Smash Mouth..................said no one, ever. (sorry if you happen to like them but they are maybe the worst band I've ever played in my radio career which goes back to 1987) Smash Mouth & Sugar Ray, in large part, killed the Alternative format.

That is a really bad loss, doesn't matter how good the other team is, blowing 3 goal leads twice, just never acceptable. Maybe if they hadn't chucked Larkin........

I wonder who the first star of the game will be.

I think it's awesome that someone can remember enough of their acid trip to put it down on film. I just remember the stucco ceiling looking like it was boiling and my hallway stretching back and forth. Colors stood out a bit too. So many colors. Beautiful colors.

How did Raymond and Mo look ?

Hello out there, were on the air it's hockey night tonight! The tension grows, the whistle blows, and the puck goes down the ice. The goalie jumps, and the players bump, and the fans all go insane. Someone roars: "Raymond scores!" At the good old hockey game! Oh! The good old hockey game! Its the best game you can name! And the best game you can name, is the good old hockey game! Second Period. Where players dash, with skates a-flash, the home team trails behind. But they grab the puck, and go bursting up, and their down across the line. They storm the crease, like bumblebees, and they travel like a burning flame. We see them slide the puck inside, its a one- one hockey game! Oh! The good old hockey game! Its the best game you can name! And the best game you can name, is the good old hockey game! Third Period. Last game in the play-offs too. Oh take me where the hockey players face off down the rink, And the Stanley Cup, is all filled up, for the champs who win the drink! Now the final flick, of a hockey stick, and a one gigantic scream: "THE PUCK IS IN! THE HOME TEAM WINS!" At the good old hockey game oh! The good old hockey game! Its the best game you can name! And the best game you can name, is the good old hockey game!
