I remember the days of a different minimum wage for minors than for adults. I'd be willing to wage they would also end the restrictions on kids under 18 working "hazardous" jobs...

It seemed to be a twitter glitch, looks like they fixed it shortly after MB's post.

Or whether under state/commonwealth law at the time Martha could not free any of the slaves "owned" by the Custis Estate.

Just wanted to take a few seconds to remember Tampa play by play announcer Dave Wills. I remember him from his time in Chicago. He was part of the Sox broadcast team and also did play by play for the Kane County Cougars. I also remember listening to his updates on the old WMAQ-AM and WMVP back in the late 90s. Another good guy who will be missed https://www.tampabay.com/sports/rays/2023/03/05/rays-radio-dave-wills-dies-andy-freed-stuart-sternberg/

I guess the big question is what happens after birth. Post natal care. Nutrition help for families. Significant help for new parents in early Pre K learning. All those things and more seem to fall thru the cracks. Especially in both urban and rural areas where you literally have children raising children. What does Vance and company (including Democrats) plan to address the post birth needs.

MLBTV was on You Tube TV until recently. They've been squabbling over fees. Hopefully they'll come back with a better package. Maybe one that includes local broadcasts.

That consultant was still in 60s and 70s mode. My overall favorite F the experts story is how Black Water came to be a hit. The record company was pushing Another Park, Another Sunday. A jock (and MD) in Roanoke, Va started blaming the flip side and it took off. Unfortunately there are no longer any "Power House" smaller market stations anymore or MD's and PD's who program by their gut.

The Righteous Right talks a good bible but the keep forgetting the first commandment. "Love thy Neighbor" They seem to hate themselves and take it out on everyone else

Once again proving you lie down with dogs.....

We had a Bradford Pear on our property in Farmington Hills. It was one of those horrible invasive parkway trees, pretty for about a week or so then a nuisance the rest of the year. Always waited until just before the first snowfall before shedding its leaves. A decent windstorm would break a few limbs. It finally fell. Fortunately the city took care of its removal.

Brains and beauty, unlike the QOP's Bobbsey Twins which have neither

Was at an event at the local winery this past weekend. The winemaker was lamenting the mild winter we’ve been having here, especially the couple of 80 degree days last week. It’s potentially playing havoc with the harvest as we’re already beginning to see buds. One good frost and there goes an entire crop of Petite Verdot grapes

I thought we were all morons. But that was the old board

Doing a quick in and out of Durham with an appointment at Duke Medical Center. Our hotel is almost next to the ballpark. We took a quick peek before dinner, ballpark looks great. I understand Duke has been playing some of their games there. From what I understand they needed to upgrade the clubhouse, not sure what else. There is still construction street side. Great location. Very walkable neighborhood with what looks like good restaurants. Nana's was fantastic. There will probably be a road trip in our future this summer. Meanwhile Richmond city council has approved a new ballpark in the same location of the current one (and the one before that). I haven't seen much of current plans but there is talk of hotels and restaurants on the property. From what I understand they need to upgrade the clubhouse and training facilities by this spring. Word is they plan to incorporate that into the new facility. They are also hoping for a waiver with the new facility in the works for 2024. Meanwhile Richmond City council has approved a new ballpark. Same location of the old one. They say it will be

It definitely has the feel of an AI Bot

This could be better than the new season of Succession.

I also suggested that maybe sign Taylor Heineke, who was a starter for Washington. Or is that out because he might offer competition?

Read my entire post.

Not a fan of drafting a QB in the first round, however what is wrong with a little competition. Who is currently #2 on the Lions QB depth chart? Would be signing a guy like Heinicke who was quite serviceable for Washington for a large part of last season be considered a threat? Especially since TH was quite popular with the players. Or another one of the guys who may be displaced after the postseason round of QB roulette. I'd rather have a backup in place heading into training camp than to scramble at all the picked over leftovers. But then I come from the era out Jurgensen and Kilmer.....Staubach and Morton to name a couple. I expect Goff to have more stones than wanting to be traded.

Just another Wednesday along Woodward Ave, or Orchard Lake Rd
