  1. Since Schlapp has declared he is not a conservative I assume that group are Putinists.
  2. History is hard. Especially if it's ancient history.
  3. I also think it says something that they left out Teddy Roosevelt, McKinley and Ford but kept Nixon and Collidge
  4. My wife spent most of last week in Detroit (wonderful timing with the weather). She had a late flight out Saturday. I guess something was happening on 275 Saturday afternoon and she had a ton of time so she opted to take Merriman to the airport. She says her rental car probably needs a realignment after that adventure.
  5. Ted is quite round and becoming moreso
  6. BTW, I'm just starting to read the new book on Watergate by Garrett Graff. My wife says its good. Graff goes a bit on the notion that part of Felt's motivation for being Deep Throat was that he was unhappy that he wasn't chosen to succeed Hoover at the FBI
  7. Stay classy Trumpublicans....
  8. Forget the pitcher, just give these wussies a tee...
  9. Just an innocent bystander, somehow he got stuck between a rock and a hard place Send lawyers, guns and money
  10. Not really, the teams aspect was a small portion of her overall responsibilities. It was more like making sure the trains ran on time.
  11. I've been diagnosed with ILD (Interstitial Lung Disease). We suspect I've had it for a while. They've prescribed Cofev. Medicare doesn't pay until I meet the deductible. Then it pays something like 75% Since it's considered experimental, out of pocket is still fairly steep.
  12. I worked for Metro Traffic for several years. When they came into the markets they would make agreements with stations where they would take over payment for certain employees who would still broadcast on stations. The stations would turn over a certain number of minutes of commercial time to sell to clients. Since you still represented the station you were on you were still loyal to the station. The broadcast teams work similarly. They're probably effectively paid by the station but work for the team. A bit of disclosure, when we first came to Detroit my wife's position included supervision of the Tigers and Wings (and Lions) broadcasts. It was primarily the go between between the station and the teams. She did that as well with the Bears the last couple of years we were in Chicago. (She hates sports)
  13. the Tigers flagship station is WXYT. Dickerson is employed by the Tigers Radio Network. I think you would say Dickerson is a Tigers employee. WXYT pays the Tigers for the rights to broadcast the games.
  14. Typical for a rich entitled white TV personality
  15. Hey Vern!
  16. And no standing up 12 times a quarter to let people in and out of the row. i get my best Sunday afternoon naps when i watch a game.
  17. I doubt it's enforceable. It is the mentality of the state GOP the problem is it's impossible to campaign on in the rural US
  18. Only pinch blowers when they need a break or working on a complicated project
  19. They'll take the 5th
  20. I'm starting a petition to repeal the states marketing slogan It's true as long as you're heterosexual.
  21. I’ve found the glass blowing “competition” on Netflix quite riveting
  22. They just spent $18 million upgrading facilities. https://www.fox2detroit.com/news/oakland-hills-country-club-fire-bloomfield-twp-southfield-fire-departments-fighting-raging-fire
  23. I think she's been doing a talk show on one of the radio stations in Minneapolis for a few years now. This move is not surprising.
  24. Not a guitar guy but as a midlife sax player I can relate a bit. First of all take a stab at lessons. It will give you some incentive to play and if the teacher has an opening during your daughter's dance class it will give you something to do besides running errands. If it doesn't work out what did you really lose? I've got somewhat the same problem on "practicing". Moving from a house where I could play in the basement to a town home where not only my wife is around but the guy next door works from home. He has his daughter occasionally during the week as well so I don't want to disturb the neighbors. My wife spends most of her workday on conference calls or meetings so there is that as well. I stopped playing a couple of years ago because of dental issues and just starting back in again playing from fake books. Unfortunately this area does not have the community concert band population as Metro Detroit and after asking around a bit starting one here seems to be a heavy lift. I did get the horn out today (she's in Michigan for the week). Now that the weather is warmer maybe it will be some back patio playing. (Until the HOA calls)
