  1. Once again proving that Trumpservatives are somewhat proficient at trolling. They tend to disappear completely when presented with facts.
  2. That's why the Democrats here are proposing a $50 gas rebate. Basically a loaded debit style card of $50 for every driver. Tax is 26 cents a gallon. It's actually a good deal for consumers, relatively speaking. It pays the tax on 200 gallons of gas +/-
  3. They're holing out for a short term reduction in the state gas tax (26.2 cents per gallon).
  4. I have a standing order every 6 weeks or so for a cut with a #2 blade. No desire to shave my head completely (serious receding hairline). I'll pay the extra rather than do it myself or try to convince my wife along with the cleanup.
  5. Except they haven't finished that bridge to Hawaii
  6. Pre 9/11, I think the statute of limitation is up. That was also the trip we both had terrible head colds. (related to being cooped up in a tube??)
  7. I'd also prefer folks wear socks and not wear pajamas. But then I'm very old school. We were on a flight to London several years ago. In coach middle row, 5 seats. The guy beside my wife was barefoot the entire flight, scabs on his feet and ankles. No fun.
  8. Actually no it doesn't. I'm not sure it's a perk or not, but we're paying for it. Actually two of them, one in Detroit and one in Hampton Roads.
  9. He was a bit old.
  10. BTW if you have PBS Passport the programs are available. (full disclosure, my wife is a DPTV employee)
  11. Yes, but they let you recline your seat as far back as you want
  12. If you look at 1/6 compared to Watergate. The break-in was a two bit burglary. The coverup and all the scandals surrounding the election was small potatoes compared to what happened with the Trump White House...
  13. How far up the line do the perpetrators go. See Mark Meadows and Trumplican Texts and emails. They are just as guilty IMO, as the folks who stormed the capitol. Do you include Rudy's press conferences? ETC. Especially after every court challenge failed miserably.
  14. You realize Abbot stopped the inspections after yielding nothing, nada, zero illegal drugs or people sneaking over the boarder in the back of trucks. Meanwile the stoppage rang up $millions in transportation costs, slowed shipments of food, auto parts, etc that will be passed along to consumers. But it's all Biden's fault Try harder
  15. I guess so. No playing croquet on the golf course. To bad his caddy didn't inform him. But then I'm sure there would be a "ball stuck in tree rule"
  16. We need to bring back debtor prisons and work houses to stop these deadbeats.
  17. Circumvented by some obscure rule...
  18. Making American Great Again....
  19. But then again more action, more bets. With folks watching games with devices in hands bets can be made almost instantly
  20. Just another expensive Trumpublican stunt But let's blame Bden and the Democrats for inflation.... https://www.texastribune.org/2022/04/15/texas-border-abbott-vehicle-inspections/ https://www.cnn.com/2022/04/16/economy/texas-mexico-abbott-border-economic-impact/
  21. Thanks for the info, and the correction on the draw the Squirrels have in the region. I really need to see a game or three this summer. The team would be an easier reach than having to fight the HRBT from James City County. We spend enough time doing business in Mechanicsville and Short Pump anyway. While doing a bit more research it looks like they are looking to locate it adjacent to the current park along with some VCU sports related facilities. Hopefully it will work out since it looks like they're being stiffed by the WFT after spending money on a summer training facility. The area has changed quit a bit since we left 30 years ago. I really need to get out to a game or three this summer
  22. Was just reading in the Richmond paper that the Flying Squirrels ballpark is on the warning list. They are currently the Double A franchise for San Francisco. The current configuration opened in 1985 and I'm assuming they haven't done much in the way of upgrades outside replacing the roof on the grandstands in 2004after Hurricane Isabel. The park also serves VCU baseball. A lot of today's story focused on the lack of food options and 20 minute plus waits for hot dog (opening day) The city has been screwing around wit plans for a new facility for some time now, either at its current location or one closer to the restaurant district. Hopefully this will light a fire. There is also a wish that the General Assembly will add some funds for the facility while they are giving a sweet heart deal to the Commanders. Maybe it would also draw a more appealing team than one based on the West Coast.
