I had the chance last week to attend an event at the Ilitch casino with some Tigers, probably like a scaled back Tigerfest which they quit doing I guess. I didn't go. But I saw photos of some players on a stage wearing the jerseys and it hit home how awful the still new home jerseys are.... the nike loo looks larger now and to me it makes the "hat" version of the Olde English D stand out. Just looked cheap.

"We're getting information given to us in a much better way now. It's broken down into how we think and talk."

Not a sketch but a sitcom. It came across my feed last night and I was giggling and laughing so hard.... I loved this show.

We finally got to The Last of Us. Really liked it. Never knew of the game it’s based on so that’s not a requirement. I suspect you might appreciate some things if aware. It’s like an intelligent Walking Dead. Exceeded my expectations.

Larroquette should have been the judge. That guy is great. Awesome on the west wing.

Pink Floyd is celebrating the 50th anniversary of The Dark Side of the Moon with a new box set. Their facebook page had a banner based on the album cover. Homophobes are upset about it. Because it.... because it has...... because it has a...... rainbow on it. Yes. https://loudwire.com/people-mad-pink-floyd-new-dark-side-of-the-moon-anniversary-logo-rainbow/?fbclid=IwAR2_c0rdtSQz50E3bC4X1Ik1PeFv4cSH_t_yBWuBXY3zbXnAzosMV005NS4

Couldn't the shading be accomplished simply by extending the roof line of the upper level? It wouldnt eradicate it but would provide more relief.

I looked at Crosby's body of work and outside of Tangerine Man I wouldn't recognize any of them. I thought Southern Man but that's Young. I just never really got exposed to it I guess. They didn't play that on WRIF or WLLZ back in the day

Yeah. I mean if you live in a blue county then you support cat litter boxes in schools right?

Yep. I knew all along if it were a "conservative" it wouldn't get out. If it were a liberal Ted Cruz would be on Fox immediately. They got quiet really really fast at some point when this first got out.

Well that just means he was in on the conspiracy

When we got married one of my best friends was a female. for our shower she got me a humidor and some cigars, along with a cutter. I think outside of our regular dishes it's the only thing remaining from our gifts that day, even if it's sitting in my furnace/work room untouched since about 2002.

I got the sense that McHale's job was to get the stadium built and to act as the liaison with the league because Ilitch was still sort of an outsider. McHale's got a family history in the game. I've said before that the strategy in the mid 90's wasn't flawed. You had McHale, Smith, and Buddy Bell all as legacy people running the team. Not a bad way to go. I wonder how things might have gone had they not built such a silly ballpark to begin with and never made the Juan G trade. There was also the issue of payroll issues. Rumors were the team had to get a loan from the league.

Weird you mention Dallas because her husband or ex husband Jim Lites left the org and went on to the Dallas Stars. He was instrumental in getting the Russians here for the Red Wings. There was a lot of weird things going on with that family.

well so many of them secretly like it as we learn over the decades...

Don't need mammograms and pap smears because they aren't for men. Women went without them for millions of years. Just pray on it and god's will prevails.

The republicans are fucked. They killed themselves from COVID, their base has shrunk. McCarthy is a hostage and any shenanigans they try to pull will totally backfire. Trump is powerless.

It reminds me of the time around the year 2000 when the right wingers opposed embryonic stem cell research. Then it just evolved into opposition to “stem cell” research. Their brains can’t process too many words so things get shortened. See also: Keystone pipelines.

What about Labrador?

Regarding The Queen's Gambit.... I'm not a chess person at all and I loved it so don't let that stop you. It hooked me immediately. The Crown on Netflix is good.

It could just be something that's not a priority right now. That's my hope at least... that it's not a case of someone saying "We think they're fine...." or "we won't spend the money" Then again who knows what goes on behind the scenes. Maybe they see the flaws we do and he's working on it. Does he still do other work? I don't listen to the radio anymore.

The occassional scratch offs are fine and make a great birthday/christmas present for adults. I've got like $40 in tickets to redeem and I usually get the $20 ones with those. I go into my local gas station nearly every day on my daily walk. When I go in for that or gas.... it's the same people buyig tickets after ticket. It's sad.

I struggled with Hamilton and it's my own doing I think. I like the subtitles on. Especially with singing I have always struggled with hearing what they say. But for Hamilton it was distracting because after 15 minutes I found myself just reading a very brief history of things I already knew. I was missing the "performance" of it all. So I turned them off and it was better. But.... I don't know. It didn't get me like apparently everybody else in the universe. I was "meh" about it. I'm not a musical guy at all. I think it's because of the aforementioned problem understanding what they are saying in the song. To me it's just noise. I can't pick out the word

Maybe but I detect some smokiness to it too. Perhaps the fine nature of the powder dispersed it more.

A while back I was making my pasta sauce. I always put crushed red pepper in it. I mistakenly grabbed the chili powder instead and didn’t notice. You have to shake hard on the red pepper flakes so I did that with the chili powder. I scooped most of it out and that was that. I also put in garlic powder and other Italian seasonings. I just use store bought sauce. I also water it down some because I don’t like it thick and it helps with acidity. Sue me. last week the same thing happened with the chili powder but this time I left it in. Everyone loved it. Today…. Same thing. I didn’t solicit opinions or tell them what I did. We eat pasta every Tuesday. I didn’t use a lot. Just a shake or two. I usually do 5 or 6 shakes of the other stuff.
