  1. I can't see why these places don't go the Sam's Club route, scan and go makes the dreaded run at least less appalling. Everything is on your phone, in fact you can even pay that way. Pick up bags or boxes on your way out the door. Have a designated entrance and exit with two people spot checking your order as you leave. Give a discount to those who use the scan and go method, maybe a smaller one for the self checkout. Charge a premium for checks. Full price if you use the regular check out line. The public will go crazy, but most of them are there already.
  2. The Electoral College was probably relevant when voting was limited to white male landowners. Also when Electors were appointed by state legislators. It became irrelevant when states decided electing those who actually voted for the office of President and Vice President a popularity contest. I challenge anyone who still supports this archaic system to name his or her elector the past three Presidential elections. I bet less than 1% of the voting population even comes close.
  3. You know Jerry is having the ghost of Tom Landry scheme up a play where there are three QB's in the backfield. Like the ball and three cups trick. Fans get to vote/bet on which QB will get the ball next. The next big NFL/DraftKings thing...
  4. My favorite so far

  7. If nothing else she just eliminated herself from the VP contest
  8. We've been watching a CNN documentary on Watergate and Nixon. It includes some comparisons to the Trump Presidency. One thing that just caught my attention was part of Nixon's farewell address. This quote. "Those that hate you don't win unless you hate them. Then you destroy yourself. DJT never learned the second part...

  10. Tell me again which party pushes "cancel culture" https://x.com/mmfa/status/1694456731055567246?s=61&t=akgNyUltuSb7RN54lulxTw Sean Hannity says Chris Christie has been banned from Fox News' post-debate coverage
  11. Looks like it might have been a two for..
  12. We've been using Banfield Vet service for several years now. For the most part they're sufficient. However, lately they've gotten a bit lax in their customer service. They are friendly enough and efficient, but I've gotten perturbed when our boarding/day car facility lets me know a required vaccination is just a few days away. Why didn't the vet remind me last month when I was there for another vaccine? Or why can't we coordinate with them about setting up appoints on a regular basis instead of waiting for the last minute. Especially when they tell me the vaccine expires in two days but they don't have availability for more than two weeks. Then shrug when I call them on it.
  13. This could be the new brain trust.
  14. Read the article. I'm sure they'll be able to find someone whose willing to work for peanuts or less to replace him
  15. Reinsdorf needs to sell both teams and spend the rest of his days in Arizona
  16. The last 2 years we lived there we had an apartment in the building catty corner from Holy Name. 48th floor, lake view. The building had just opened when we moved in. It was great for the Water Show. The view probably not so great 20 years plus later because of the new construction in the area. We definitely can't afford the current rent, either.
  17. This popped up in one of my feeds. An edited version of this song peaked in the top 25 on the charts. I think the first Huey Lewis song that didn't have staying power. The radio version was more vocal and less Getz. . The story behind it was that Stan Getz ran into HN's at a funeral and said he'd like to play on one of their records. Getz had cancer, and Huey's dad was a radiologist, he said "Stan has cancer. If you don't put him on a record, I'm never talking to you again". This is part two because the original cut was too long for airplay in the 80s. BTW, the backing horn section was from Tower of Power. You can't get much better than that. https://youtu.be/vEWVqTUEokw
  18. We're Lions fans. We've become conditioned to expect the worst
  19. I like JVL's take. He'll show up in Georgia 8/23, the same date as the Fox QOP debate. Followed by a big rally between 8-10 that evening. Sucking all the air from the wannabes. The Trump Traveling Road Show continues. Grab the babies and the old ladies...everyone knows...
  20. Trying again...
