I learned in my space readings that his uncle Lee Silver was a key geologist that trained the Lunar astronauts. His guidance led to the discovery by Apollo 15 of the Genesis Rock. They thought initially to be part of the original formation of the moon but later discovered it was 'only" 4 billion years old.

how are the bookies supposed to know what the line is going to be?

Yeah I saw that. It was in response to someone complaining her boyfriend/husband had her full name

Tigers went 15 years between Gold Glove winners, Pettis in 1989 and Pudge in 2004. Tigers have only won one since 2009.... Ian Kinsler won in 2016.

my wife's list is a mess.. "Sharon" "Sharon work" (Not the first Sharon's work Number, a different Sharon that she works with) things like that. Just random names, some last names, some nicknames... a few Aunt ***, Uncle ***.... and some uses of Polish references because the tradition is certain aunts/uncles get the Polish designation.

6-3... Roberts/BK/Barret join the libs. This was a big one I think.

He was on the 2006 team so he's "one of the boys". The casual fan who has the game on during the summer because nothing else is on and they aren't really paying attention. They ask "why do we always get rid of our good players?" Brandon Inge fans. They are glad to to still see Dan Petry on the broadcast and care about "pick to stick" or whatever it is. They don't like national broadcasts because "those aren't our guys" and complain about them being biased. The umps hate the Tigers.

My real estate friends insist the market is still good. They are busy. I thought when rates jumped it would cool but they insist it's not. Of course they always say everything is good because they want to encourage you to buy/sell. Dirks is much better than I expected him to be. He gives really good insight into techniques. It's like he's talking to a peer sometimes.

His defense team will say that what they were looking at wasn't real, he was just showing off because he's a salesman.

Just like the article says… we made it to side 1. Then we didn’t know what to do for side 2.

I had an Italian barber for years. From the age of 15 until about 10 years ago. My house now is around the block from where his shop was. I would run into him at certain catered events "his cousin owned the place" so he was there hanging around... you know the old halls you'd rent for a wedding or grad party or something? He would give me tomato plants and wine. Once there was a safe sitting in the middle of the shop. I asked him about it and he said he got it from someone but they can't open it. Next time I went in it was open. I asked him what was in it. "ah, nothing really". I left it at that. Car washes seem like something you could launder through as well. There's a huge fuss in Dearborn Hts over one being build on Ford road. The meetings got very contentious and it seems like a lot of effort for a corporation from Ohio to get involved in. I'll also say that the person I hear is involved is a pharmacist who just bought an old office building from Ford in Dearborn for over $20M. Was going to renovate it into condos and such... now it's being knocked down.

I won't link to any studies as Ed has done that but for about a year the vast majority of my wife's patients were unvaccinated, this is the ICU. Those who were vaccinated were often elderly. To me the vaccine is much like wearing a seat belt. It won't protect you all the time and in a few very rare cases it might trap you. But overall you are better off with it than without it.

Being vaccinated goes a long way to reduce the symptoms and effects of covid. Nothing is 100%. If she got vaccinated she might not be complaining about her food's taste.

Black Mirror - Joan is Awful. holy ****. What a great episode.

A gifted link. We did this at a friends house around 1996. No marijuana involved though.

He’s following the Bill James model where h starts to be contrarian just to be contrarian. There is a point where outside the mainstream pundits become part of it and then everything they say is carefully crafted and becomes pointless. No boldness. Mitch Albom was like this in the 80s and early 90s. Then he got a radio show and was on ESPN all the time and now the brand has to be protected. Same with Nate.

Because as we know those are “real” states made up of patriots. Not some lib labs from california and New York.

It’s shifted how we buy groceries now. We do the meijer or Kroger pick up thing for non perishables and other week go week items on Thursdays . Hit our local fruit market for fruits, veggies, meats on Sunday . And we have an Aldi close by. We have turned one pain in the ass trip into two or three quick hassle free. Better for our sanity. We also have a middle eastern market within walking distance for quick things we might have run out of. I like going there because I always see something I haven’t before.

What will we wake up to?

This is a major development. One of the biggest in years. And the cable networks are MIA.

I'd do the same in MI. If it's a close primary then I will register GOP. I think Biden's age will be a bigger issue this year and if not for that he'd win easily. If they get another VP candidate his chances would improve but not sure Harris is that popular. So despite the GOP's idiocy I won't rule out them winning the election.

I also thought it could be a way to avoid having to testify later on about anything he says... like "don't drag me into your BS... I'm just here to arrest you then I'm done with this case"

could also be a cover your ass thing... if he is talking and not told that again, could that be used against the prosecution? I am sympathetic to the idea that sometimes cops look out for certain perps more than they would others... but not here I don't think. The guy killed his kids. If he had killed a black guy on his property I could see the cops doing that.
