Screwball

I've heard of FORTRAN but never played with it. I guess at the end of the day we are turning all this into zero's and ones. No? 🙂 It's amazing what the computer has done. To think, in...I don't know...1972... I took typing in high school because there were a bunch of girls in the class. I wasn't alone, and probably one of the best things I ever did. Served me quite well over the years. This kind of stuff fits AI, and we are training it to take our jobs. I'm glad I'm retired. AI is not the answer.

That has to be a tough industry no matter big or small. We are losing the battle around Cornhole and surrounding areas.

I'm not sure what lit a fire under the Casino today (sure wasn't AMZN) but here we are (if it holds - at 50026 as I type this. The VIX is down over %17.

Pardon me if I laugh at a bunch of people who lose a ****load on money on stupid investments, or at least not know when to get in and out. Maybe we need more of that. That's kind of how a "market" is suppose to work. Pain is a lesson. We are just gnats on an elephants ass and don't have much skin in the game compared to the people in the big club who lose millions. But it will **** up our 401k just the same.

I got a ball from Tiger stadium in the lower deck in right field off Higgy. I had it in my trophy case until my boys ran out of baseballs.

More on the Mick. This caught my eye. Not that I'm a birds fan, but Jim Palmer was a childhood idol. As were their pitching staff in what, the early 70s when the had 4 twenty game winners. Impressive rather you like it or not. I'll save you hitting a link, I took a screenshot. The game was much different back then, and played a different way. Mick was a beast. If he was his 68 best, I would sign him tomorrow. Yea, I'm old and nuts. 🙂 I would add Kenny Rogers. He was a master of his craft.

I don't remember the year, but a buddy and me went to a Tiger game. Got there early and went to the entrance where the players came in to see if we could see any of them. The Mick, dressed in a green garb, riding his Kawasaki come driving in and said hi to us. That made our day. Loved him. RIP Mick.

Me too, but that wasn't my experience. Good for you. It was truly awful. They got way to expensive, at least where I live, and what I wanted. When the weather got bad it wouldn't work. We finally got fiber so I was out in a heartbeat. Love it. It rocks. My fiber is cheap and I cheat for everything else now.

To the bold - beware. That will be one of the most frustrating and irritating thing you will ever go through. I canceled last year. I was one of the most awful experiences I ever had with a company. They don't want you to leave, so the BS starts, and seemingly never ends. When you are finally done, you will get mailings for months trying to get you back. And phone calls.

Well, it all comes down to WTF you going to do about it? We ain't voting our way out of this. But many still think we can. They are delusional.

Are we just figuring this out? We have had the big red white and blue stuffed into us as Carlin so eloquently explained in 1991, known as the American Dream skit. You gotta be asleep to believe it. 35 years when you do the math...

What rug?

They could have custom drilled a ball for you. My Saturday consisted of 24 lanes of high school kids. Good for future customers. It was ran by the owners wife. She was everybody's mom. Saturday was also ball drilling day. The guy who drilled balls was behind the counter with me fitting balls for people. They were off work on Saturday so he was busy all day. One day a guy came in with a bad hand, kind of like yours. I don't remember what happened but his hand/fingers were messed up. He wanted to bowl in a league but couldn't throw a regular house ball due to his fingers. He asked the ball drilling guy (Smut himself) if he could fit and drill him a ball. He told the guy he would try, but couldn't guarantee anything. He said go for it. He spent about a half hour measuring this guys hand and using the fitting ball as best he could. I was helping. He went to the back and drilled this guy a ball. We turned on a lane so he could give it a try. It worked, and you would think this guy just hit the lottery. He was so happy. He signed up and got to bowl in a league. He was forever thankful. He got to do something he always wanted to do but didn't think he could. It was a neat deal, and if I remember right, they didn't charge him a dime.

Especially one who helps control the money and banking system. There is never only one cockroach. Our entire system is controlled by cockroaches. But hey, the markets are at almost all time highs. Giddy up!
