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

June 9 https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/june-9 With a spectacular victory at the Belmont Stakes, Secretariat becomes the first horse since Citation in 1948 to win America’s coveted Triple Crown: the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness and the Belmont Stakes. In one of the finest performances in racing history, Secretariat, ridden by Ron Turcotte, completed the 1.5-mile race in 2 minutes and 24 seconds, a dirt-track record for that distance. Secretariat was born at Meadow Stables in Doswell, Virginia, on March 30, 1970. He was sired by Bold Ruler, the 1957 Preakness winner, and foaled by Somethingroyal, which came from a Thoroughbred line known for its stamina. An attractive chestnut colt, he grew to over 16 hands high and was at two years the size of a three-year-old.

June 8, 1775. Lord Dunmore leaves the Palace in Williamsburg, Va and takes refuge aboard the British ship Fowey in the York River. (He's feeling reprisals following the Gun Powder Theft from the Williamsburg Armory in April) June 8, 1775. The three remaining Shawnee chiefs are left to consider their position. After Dunmore' s retreat and fearing reprisals by the Virginians, one Shawnee chief, Chenusaw, flees Williamsburg en route to Ohio Shawnee towns. There, he spreads rumors of Virginia' s intent to invade the Ohio and enslave Shawnee; he urges a unified attack against the frontier settlements.

It was a couple of generations before pocket computers. Back when people still talked to each other.

I've started using it for things like trip planning and such. We're talking about a monthlong driving trip following Lewis and Clark. It's also been helpful on things like curated playlists and such.

Probably so, Garcia may have been the mule. Then the question is who was paying the bills? Dollars to a donut the guy importing the "workers" gets off free. Maybe the regime needs to start punishing businesses that import the cheap labor. They have been doing it forever and getting off scott free, because they know they can get away with it.

And for some reason every household in America had a person who crocheted it. Same colors and everything

The chemistry was good in the booth, not as annoying as say the Monday Night Football groupings. Of course back then 19 to 20 something year old me's preferred method of watching the Game of the Week was watching innings 1-3, snoozing thru the middle portion and waking up for the end.
