Would love to see an old fashioned gully washer this weekend

One more question about the Home Plate Club tickets, I'm seeing on line they're basically season or partial season ticket packages only, so you're looking at basically corporate ticket holders. BTW I'm watching the Miami/Pittsburgh game on MLBTV, the similar padded seats behind home plate are pretty empty.

I'm probably an outlier as far a buying tickets but one of m criteria when buying seats in my price range is looking for sections that are not too crowded. There's nothing I hate worse is to have to stand up several times during a game to let "fans" in or out of rows. I came to enjoy the game and not be distracted by musical chairs during the game, and it's super annoying when it's done during the inning. I'm not the least bothered by the "optics" on TV, it's less annoying than to see some "fan" on his/her phone trying to show off because they're on TV No get off my lawn

In addition to the No Kings events going on locally this weekend there are a few Evans leading up to next week's Juneteenth observances....

That alone should bar the Commander in Chief from attending. Any prohibitions against drunk Sec of Defense?

He nails it..

Those flags and license plates have ment this for a while now. Especially in the age of TACO Guy. Tread on everyone but me...

I had a couple of cousins that had routes. Way too much work for what they got. They were mostly afternoon routes, so every day after school, collect, fold and deliver papers 7 days a week. Then you had to find a substitute if you were going on vacation, or had a ballgame or whatever. Where I lived when I was old enough to do something like that there weren't enough homes nearby to make it worth while. But then by the time I was 12 or 13 there were a few lawns to cut (usually $3 per). Come summer my dad hid his own business so I got drug out with him early in the morning to do yard work or something in the garden center.

True, unless you have a 100% indigenous bloodline, somewhere along your family tree is an immigrant.

Probably stuck around rather than worry about stairs, open windows or rogue ICE officers

The pup is sick so we're up late, (or extremely early) so I'm playing with ChatGPT. And this to the tune of Beer Barrel Polka i changed the Title of the Parade to Birthday Parade

And yet in places like Commerce Twp, Michigan pickup trucks roar up Commerce Rd past the high school with a flag representing a nation that tried insurrection against the U-S.

Part of the "Sound track of my life"

And 250 years later The Madness of King Orange

I'm seeing there 's a No Kings Day rally at the County Courthouse Saturday. Several retired military brass will be on hand to speak.

He's building a railroad that's way over budget, I'm erecting a flagpole way under budget. Hey TACO how much are we taxpayers paying for your very expensive Birthday Party? I bet it's way way over budget

I love the idea. A bit late in the game to organize. Say somewhere out of Washington, maybe a concert of patriotic music or flooding the internet with re-enacted speeches from Patrick Henry, Jefferson, Adams etc...completely ignoring TACO for the day.

That's ridiculously stupid. The whole attraction of an electronic edition should be able to report on breaking news. If you put your webpage to bed at 9PM why have a paper at all. But it's Gannett, they should have gone out of business long ago.

I'm getting fearful about the upcoming weekend's events in DC... https://view.newsletters.cnn.com/messages/1749473914798e29b9011de5e/raw?utm_source=cnn_Reliable+Sources+–+June+9%2C+2025&utm_medium=email&bt_ee=vtk%2BVkG1aksJmS13sVydxDJ41knJFNKLLJrXUsJmivMuXI%2FBrS4Cef7cfaumqO5e&bt_ts=1749473914800 It's going to become another "made for TV" event...

That was right after we moved to Detroit. Part of my wife's job was supervising the Lions radio network. We came from Chicago where the Bears Network was part of the job. We had the Bears radio team over for dinner the night before. I was basically a "neutral" observer at the time. My first time at the SilverDome Once again to all of Michigan, I apologize for the beginning of the Millen era
