During the worst of covid I would sometimes get grocery orders and pick them up in the dedicated parking spots. Most times it was brought to me by people that appeared to be under 25. Several of the young guys would use boss, as in “want me to close the hatch, boss?”. It seemed like a generic term, one they threw out dozens of times a day, with no caste/power implications IMO. I hear it far less now (and don’t do grocery orders) so I assumed it was a slang term that had its day and was fading out.

Just got back from watching Sing Sing. Highly recommend.

Thanks for asking…it’s been pretty good. My gf and I are on the same lot now after putting $ and effort into converting a detached garage into a nice living space and workshop. Some adjustment there, after having lived 5 miles apart for the previous 9 years. Sharing expenses has made my SS income workable. She will retire in a year, which will be another adjustment. I am very lucky. How has your retirement been? Sounds like you are traveling quite a bit. We have done some traveling but not a big one yet. Scotland and also a trip to Switzerland and SW Germany are in the plans.

The deepest state!

You guys are just mad because you couldn’t go falconing with him this weekend.

Matt was my AAT last year and broke a long string, from the old board, of me picking marginal or bad players. This year he’s been even better. Good job Harris picking him up.

Jimmy Carter in a wheelchair, exclaims vote for Harris/Walz and expires.

I wasn’t getting very agitated by the bomb threats, but upon reading they included a bowling alley lounge I have upped my concern level appropriately.

ASP too.

Maybe Shelby Miller without the gopher balls. And no, I am not endorsing Miller.

I need to work the word confounded into my vocabulary.

Don’t see any Kerch bridge news yet-I have been hoping for it to get fully hosed for two years.

Maybe if we all started calling them Manfred Jammies.

My problem with the City Connects is the MLB decision to institute them, far more than with the Tigers version. Alternate jerseys to honor the Negro Leagues, I’m onboard. The City Connects seem contrived - but if you have to do them, the Tiger version doesn’t bother me.

Franyerber!

I think MLB limited the armor after he had used it.

And if Bonds hadn’t been allowed to wear full arm armor he likely wouldn’t have hit nearly as many home runs. He might even have broken an arm, since he crowded the plate. Super talented, no doubt, but he leveraged that protection to the max.

A new post in this forum. 🙂 A sign that summer is fading away before long and we can look forward to a puck drop in a short time.

One of my most hated sports phrases “who wants it more”. What BS.

Whoosh.

A gentleman came up to me and said “Sir, you are a completely different kind of player - you belong in the Hall - you may be the greatest ever”.

It’s all about the outrage. EVERYONE SHOULD BE OUTRAGED!!! There are some things to be outraged about, like J6 and the attempt to subvert the will of the voting citizenry. All this crap- just serves to identify the outrage spreaders as the self delusional people they are.

Childless. Doesn’t pass the Vance test.

Trump identified as white for years, and then a few years ago, he identified as orange. So he knows all about that stuff.
