Does this put VOA on the Trump chopping block for reporting this type of thing. I'm sure new incoming head Kari Lake will put a lid on this type of reporting

One of our favorite getaways was to Oregon. My wife booked a last minute Travelocity trip to the Portland area. We stayed outside the city in a truck stop style motel. I remember this was the weekend the Tigers traded Jeff Weaver. Anyway we found a roadside fruit stand, bought a bunch of cherries and stuff. Went by Mt Hood then drove the coast from Sunset Beach to about Tillamook spiting cherry seeds out the window. It was also my introduction to Pinot Gris.

Update: it was a Blackhawk

I agree, I do keep my iPad with me on my CW Visitor Center shifts. Since they've instituted a charge for long term parking and discounts on tickets bought on line there is usually a need to walk a few people thru the process. I'd rather show them on the bigger screen than do it for them (I'll check their work as it progresses). That way it also gives me a chance to get them to the daily schedule of programs while I'm at it among other things on the site that they'll probably end up asking about. But then I'm real old school

The Athletic's mock has Green going to the Packers at 23, the Lions taking TJ Tuimoloau at 28. Pretty much the same reasoning

I'm sure it's changed from the mid to late 90s regarding the Cubs, but I would hope the earlier starts would cut down on the drunkenness and rowdiness. On the later commuter trains. One of the things that turned me against the Cubs when we lived there. Never really experienced it with the Sox, but not as many people attended or took METRA

Re Bridgewater, good article from the Athletic. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6075633/2025/01/29/teddy-bridgewater-high-school-coach/?source=freedailyemail&campaign=601983&userId=213687 Basically it says he planning on going back to coaching his high school football team in the fall. He's not announcing his retirement again. While with the Lions he spent a lot of time with Jameson Williams (also by phone before he rejoined the team). The Lions used him basically as a "life coach". They also credited him with helping the defense (where his locker was) by playing QB on the scout team

There goes the price of oranges

I'd demand a written contract and complete payment in advance, in cash. I'd also challenge the firings in court.

They'll just hire friends, families, and donors. Want a Fed job, pay $5000 in advance and kiss the ring

Trump commuted Kwame's sentence before he left in 2021.

I think there may be a general feeling among the populace that employers are colorblind and also blind to sex.

This is a damning letter from Caroline. Don't expect it to move any MAGA's or even many Repugnetkins.. He was at UVa when my wife was there in the early 70s. He already had a bad reputation then

They really hate the "Gulf of America"

Just another "very fine person"

Harry Litman ‪@harrylitman.bsky.social‬ Follow Orwellian quote of the week: "A spokesman said the DOJ is committed to advancing the new administration’s goals, including “upholding the rule of law, ensuring the security of the American people, restoring the public’s trust in the justice system, and ending weaponization of government.” January 28, 2025 at 11:57 AM Everybody can reply

Put your elementary youngsters to work at fast food restaurants and such. BTW since the Oligarchs and the World Wide Web have completely demolished things like local newspapers there are no longer many viable jobs for 10, 11, 12 year olds.

Gretch is out???

Here is the real answer

Because going after drug gangs and terrorists is not a sexy as rounding up illegal "aliens"
