  1. I'm fairly positive they got to know Willis and Howell during their time coaching the Senior Bowl.
  2. I've lived in Virginia, Illinois, and Michigan since I began voting in Federal elections in 1972. 2004 2016 and 2020 were probably the only elections where I felt my vote mattered. If I squint hard enough I can count 2008 and 2012 as well.
  3. Just curious about what happened with his Chicago Tunnel project. It's not on the Boring Company website of projects. It came to mind since we just observed the 30th anniversary of the Great Chicago Flood
  4. The EC was a compromise between large states and small states. Now if we decide to go back to when only wealthy land owing white males are eligible to vote I'd be willing to discuss the issue further. IMO it became obsolete when the states started using popular vote to decide federal elections.
  5. I remember that discussion shortly after the stadium open. That was on John McHale for not paying attention when Tigers brass signed off. One of his many follies. They did some changes in the 2010 (?) upgrade of Comerica. The defects aren't as glaring now. (edit) among the changes they raised the scoreboard 16 feet...
  6. Nobody wants to work anymore....
  7. Has the former guy who lost Chief of Staff been charged yet? How about the guy's wife?
  8. Scaley Mountain NC??? Maybe they should have at least looked at Franklin
  9. I nominate Wall Lake. Or at least 2 years ago it seemed to be the pot capitol of SE Michigan. And the one with the biggest A-Hole pot store owner.
  10. Party of Trump democracy at work....
  11. I like the correlation of military bands to what I'll call regular units. I'm a big concert band fan and and have enjoyed the transition of the U-S Military bands in recent years from primarily marches to more diverse music. It seems that the Russian military while competent in traditional ways have no clue on how to improvise. In other word all chops no soul.
  12. We would have inflation no matter who was in office. Once things opened up. Real estate costs for example went way up. In many areas inventory is at an all time low. Meanwhile building costs went through the roof because of restrictions pre 1/20/21. The supply chain was also a mess and just now getting back to close to normal.
  13. I think it's definitely more work. Pre pandemic the plan was to "retire" and do some contractor/consulting work. Since about 75% of her work life revolves around meetings, there are more now than before. Pre pandemic days would find her anywhere from Detroit, Ann Arbor, Lansing on a given day. Lots of driving, but some down time. Now it's fairly constant, but she can also field calls on our back patio in late March, early April. We also spent a week in Myrtle Beach for a change of scenery. In the end more $$ for when she does decide to call it quits.
  14. But Hunter's laptop....
  15. My wife was up for work related stuff a couple weeks ago and the first comment was that 275 was a mess again. The real problem getting between Illinois and Michigan is I-80/94 thru the Gary corridor.
  16. My house is up $50 thousand plus in value since last year. That's based on what I'm seeing in real estate values.and comps. Since my wife and I drive hybrids gas costs are up slightly, but we don't have the huge commute. We've changed some of our eating habits, cut out a lot of unnecessary crap, fewer restaurants, those costs are consistent with yearly increases. Especially since Republicans in the legislature keep voting against a rollback in sales tax on groceries. Here the fleece vest wearing governor wants a three month moratorium on the gasoline tax, it may save a bit, but then our roads will look like Michigan's. edit..HHI is 5 a 5 hour drive, MYB is 3, and Nags ahead is 90 minutes. Who needs to fly? And from what I've experienced Barony's resort prices are a bit lower for owners.
  17. Looks like the in thing for TQOP candidates in the Mid Atlantic states is the dad vest Just like his crappy partner to the north...
  18. We've had what, two national elections in the last 60 years where the winner wasn't known at least by early the following morning. He didn't say anything about the EC, that was inferred and I'm not sure he is in favor of killing it. That said I'm not a fan. Since Mr Madison rarely hangs out a CW I have no idea what his take on it would be today. Next time I see Gen Washington or TJ walking DOG street I'll ask them
  19. Personally I’m better off now than what I was 1/19/20
  20. France is going to have a runoff election. No winner has been declared, only two finalists. I'm all for direct popular vote as well as taking the states out of Federal elections. Hell, let's just abolish states altogether....
