Some people just can’t handle women being in charge.

It was a Sunday and my first choice was closed. It was the night Skubal pitched on Sunday Night Baseball against Texas. I met a guy from Livonia who moved to Phoenix and goes to SD a lot. He said it’s a popular destination for folks there. we stayed near the ocean and had plenty of places to pick from that we could walk to and are not terribly picky. It’s more about compatibility for our son. (No small places, that kind of thing). But it was exhausting after a few days using Google to do a small amount of research. I’m on vacation. I don’t want to spend more time on my phone than i have to. So on Sunday my wife said “I know you want to go to a brewery”. It only took about a minute overall. Just wanted a relatively decent variety of food options beyond something thrown into a deep fryer out of a box from Sysco or Gordon’s. I understand it’s a brewery. The beer also had to be good. Settled on Ballast Point. I told the staff AI said they were the best option.

Charlie’s a grifter now.

I used ChatGPT in San Diego when I wanted to go to a brewery but also a place with decent enough food for non drinkers including a 78 year old aunt and a comfortable setting. It worked. The follow up questions were concise and on Target. It does what Google did 15 years ago.

I was listening to that for a few hours today.

I have 2 VHS copies. 2 DVD copies. ‘Special” editions. And it’s been on my DVR for a few years. But every time it’s on TV I sit and watch. The sequence starting with Boom boom thru Rays music is so awesome. I could do without all the Carrie Fisher stuff though. there is a video on YouTube where a guy shows all the filming locations today.

RIP Steve Cropper

Gary Hart's career ended because he had a girlfriend on a boat with him. Howard Dean's career ended because he yelled into the microphone in a weird way.

Inge complained when the Tigers signed a HOF catcher and again when they signed a, then HOF 3B.

I don't like rules put in place because we got smarter and somehow that means the quality of play went down.... it's a variation of the shift. As for the special pinch hitter.... I'd say instead of the ghost runner try that. Preference is not do anything but if I had to pick between the two, I'd go with the special pinch hitter.

It was a beautiful night down there with my family. Very fortunate to have a friend whose company has a suite, he’s in charge of it. With my youngest son’s issues it’s extremely convenient. This goes back to the Pistons at the Palace. Every year he threw a couple of Pistons games at us. When they opened LCA he did the same. He’s a hockey guy, a coach and player, so he respects the game. Last few years all 4 of us rarely got to go together as my oldest was working. Tonight it worked out. My buddy is close to retirement, maybe in January, so I have no idea if we will get to go back. But I’m very grateful and don’t take it for granted. I love going to Wings games in the winter.

That reminded me of some Sega NHL ‘94 goals I scored. I had a play down pat.

Cheers fellas. First game this year.

yes, I used the wrong word.

The problem, and this is a success by Trump and his team because they enabled it to some degree I think, is the "Trump is crazy, he's losing it, he's dying, he's finally crossed the line, this time it's reallygoing to happen" stories have been beaten to death for 9 years. It's not news. It doesn't sell. Back in 2017 and 2018 we all thought he'd be taken down by the likes of Manafort, Flynn, Mueller's going to rescue all of us.... then it was Georgia, then it was Jack Smith.... He's indestructible. Stories about his demise and mental well being just don't register anymore beyond the echo chamber. Everybody knows what he is and what he's like. I mean... if I see another tweet by George Conway along the likes of "This guy really lost it....". I almost think Conway is trolling us with crap like that. Yes, I believed you the 4,000 other times you said it. It's just a giant circle jerk now.

Yes. I remember that now. Some of us more curious people asked about other races. Whoever the teacher at the time gave some BS answer trying to divide us all into white,black, and…. Yes… “Oriental”. Variations among that was due to inbreeding. Dennis Hopper in True Romance had nothing on these Bible thumpers.

It was common belief in the fundamentalist r Christian world until the late 80s at least that interracial marriage was frowned upon because “god made rivers and oceans and mountains to keep the races separate “. That’s what I was taught by them.

Just today someone told me about that show. Vince Gilligan said many times they would come up with things and have no idea where it ended. They would make it up as they go along.

Pushed out by new landlords bringing in something else. I hope whoever is behind the “concept” didn’t sign any papers because community resentment will run high with this situation and I don’t predict success Plymouth has plenty of options to dine

Like reading and living by the standards of a technology book written in 1964 and believing thats the absolute truth. I come across a guy from the creation museum/ark museum in Kentucky who tries to explain science in their context. We’re all wrong, did you know that?

Certain religions reject science because true science goes where the evidence takes you and faith, by definition, is not evidence based. Fundamentalists are trapped because they use absolutist theology from a book that’s not historical or scientific and contradicts itself. religion and science answer different questions. Science folks, rightly so, get bent out of shape when religious folks interject their non science “facts” into the discussion, like floods and creationism. “Well that can’t be true because of genesis”. If science gets in the way of religious folks then that’s a problem for the religious to solve.

I don’t think the things she saw are what we think. Too obvious.

As a follow up the final episode of six feet under just aired and in case you forgot Rith died this year

I’m sure I we mean pretty much the same thing.

The oligarchs knew he’d look the other way. They don’t control him. Don’t need to or want to as long as he leaves then alone. The ones who control him are the religious nutjob and Nazis implementing their agenda.
