Or, she's just crushed a meat-lovers pan pizza from Pizza Hut and a 6 pack of malt liquor.

Noticing in the Freep that some local chain I'd not hear of called "Savvy Sliders" has a Kerry Carpenter meal. Kerry Carpenter is .059 with an OPS of .229 or some such over the last week. Please return to hitting Kerry. Meanwhile Javy's resumption of goodness has resumed. Weird that Andy Ibanez has just gone away. Baseball be like that I guess.

This has been a random freak out generator for all my civilian relatives. The concern for me: China and Russia use this to do things that are anathema that they would like to do. Russia has already done this in spades in Ukraine. China is in the middle of one of the two periods during the year they can do cross-straits. I haven't checked the weather in the South China Sea.

I guess the neo-cons got their way

Tourists don’t run…

This is going not good

Tampa, a day game... I can see some seersucker-wearing old captain, dabbing himself with a linen handkerchief, perched on his rocking chair, occasionally fanning himself with his panama hat: "we shall betwixt these Yankee devils with some day baseball in the Florida sun! They shall find our excessive heat and humidity, simply intolerable!" Occasionally he will wonder at the behavior of his large blue-tick coonhound which has been searching for some critter under the porch of Steinbrenner field: "Rufus, you had best get yourself out of there or you'll miss out supper!"

5 run gap again.

9-5...still a ways to go.

Ok, I'm excited to see that double!

I miss Parker Meadows

our first inning fail to score was sucky...now this

My social media has blown up with warnings about public lands being stolen .

wrong show...sorry

took a glance at the Rays ticket situation in cozy Steinbrenner Field... only 2% of tickets available.

there was a house for sale in South Lyon or Milford about a year ago that had this design. The mold damage caused by the hard to reach places in the dome was insane. There are practical reasons for practical designs.

when i was a manager, i remember that I'd say "every vacation has risk" because invariably someone would take the fact that you were not around to hand hold them through some crisis with the company they would quit.

When you are part of a company that has cult-like behavior, that can mean something. Later as you get to understanding your unique value as an adult this sort of thing becomes laughable. I've been in all points of this compass while i've been on MTF and its predecessor MTS.

I forgot to add this to my earlier response...and know this comes from a place of love.... ----What country club do you belong?

Led by Oklahoma

Yeah, if you are in the pool of people with essential skills that require the bosses to worry if you leave, people can get away with that sort of thing. In a place where your skills are very fungible and people at the top are actively cheering on AI and AGI's arrival so they don't have to deal with your kid's illnesses, your need for mental breaks, or your "religious" observances, its viewed as a discriminator for getting rid of oxygen thieves.

queue up the part of Red Dawn where the two Cuban officers are talking to the American Mayor and they comment to each other that this town is indeed fortunate to have a shepherd such as this.

So, the federal contracting world has a great divide; between the FAR people who work onsite with clients who have to take time off according to a tightly controlled set of rules which does not include sick leave but rather pooled time off which treats an annual vacation the same as COVID; and the back office corporate types who have "unlimited" leave. I would rather be in the first group because if your corporation isn't applying rules to something that means they can judge you about how you use it. "Unlimited" is a trap. So, anything that gives you a day where it isn't your guilt complex about slacking requiring you to not work, is a good thing.

Are they going to Tehran tonight?

I guess its a game for pitt to feel better about themselves before they leave town.
