Spot on. Bridge had a neighborhood vax rate map and in the metro Detroit area you could clearly see the border with GP to the east. The southwest wasn’t so clear because of the industrial complexes (refinery/steel/Ford). You could also clearly spot Pontiac, Southfield, and Inkster.

I think you both are right. They want high salaries to confirm their greatness and to also raise the floor for the guys that come after.

Didn’t Florida make it illegal to mandate masks at the local level and to require vaccinated patrons? Michigan didn’t do that. The state numbers correlate to vax rate and mask mandates in schools.

I hear that every year around the Emmys from my mother in law. “What are these shows? I never heard of any of them. Who are these people?”

I always snicker when I see right wingers play up the “made in USA” mantra because it’s their adherence to what they perceive as capitalism and focus on market returns is why we import so much cheap stuff. The love affair with squeezing every last nickel out of the process so that the investors are happy is why this situation exists. Look in the mirror.

Even animal rights people think PETA is a joke.

Something satisfying seeing a person on camera so things that’s going to end up very bad for them.

Game 4 reminded me of game 4 of the ‘06 World Series. Looks like the series will be tied up and then the home team scored late and makes it seem inevitable.

Jon Bon Jovi cancelled his concert tonight because he tested positive. Wonder if he was symptomatic or just came up because he’s tested every few days.

It all goes back to the armorer and assistant AD who gave the him to Baldwin. The armorer is responsible. Baldwins fault is accepting the gun from someone other than the armorer I guess.

He saw the attention Perot was getting so he jumped on it.

The way to get around that is to eliminate off days. But I don’t know how you do that with night games and the need for travel days. During the season you get an off day every 2 weeks. That means your pitchers need more rest between games. The Braves had had 11 and the Astros 12 off days in since the season ended.

They will cheer him. It would be awesome if they booed him. For sure. But I suspect he won’t be.

I thought Virginia now is about the schools and crt and all that.

I don’t like what it’s done to the dead people. maybe it’s due to my wife’s job. When I hear of a healthy 49 year old going on a vent who is fully vaccinated and has no health issues other than being a little overweight like many other 49 year olds… well it makes me not want to get covid even though most likely it will be mild. I don’t know the answer. Just frustrating that it’s not going away and too many idiots don’t want to help out. Also frustrating that it’s family members feeling that way and they will be around this holiday season.

Call me a sheep but I don’t see wearing a mask indoors as a “restriction”. If that’s what is required going forward so be it. I am fine with it. A lot of my colleagues in Europe are back in the office part time. a big way our nation could improve remains testing. You should be able to know pretty quickly if you have it. By that I mean less than 24 hours. That way at any sign of sniffles or cough you can check. By the time someone figures they should get tested they may have spread it to dozens of others.

No. Players aren’t applicable.

I’m into history and current events of a non political bent. I read Mercury Rising about Glenn’s flight. I had read almost everything on Mercury at that point and still learned some things. Now I am reading about Apollo 8 which really saved the moon program and technically represented our first adventure to the moon. A very ambitious flight at the time considering the state of the program and timing with regard to kennedys deadline. They leapfrogged several objectives and used a rocket that had not yet been successful. What’s amazing about the famous earth rise photo is when you consider that the photo of earth represents some remnant of every human that ever existed, even if a speck of dust, except for the 3 men behind the camera who are in lunar orbit.

Interesting. But that could be a case of something sounding harsher than it really is. Since he’s a pending FA I can see the argument that org resources can’t be used on a guy who is contractually of no use to them at the moment. I am not sure he’s throwing shade. Just stating realities.

Yeah. Why didn’t the victim arm herself? Seems we need more guns on movie sets now to prevent this.

Miggy doing some lobbying.

With the cold and dampness coming Sunday and Monday I started to feel run down and congested. Working in the basement when the heat isn’t coming on so much and it dips below 65 got to me. Got my booster tuesday. Felt like shit yesterday, probably 75%. Not sure if it was from any of that or getting up at 5 to get my son off to school. today I feel fine. Ran 3 miles this morning just to test myself out. Arm soreness at injection point but that’s normal.

The fact both played in NY and Boston is not a coincidence. Do real baseball fans even watch pregames? Seems like now it’s all about being funny, playing games, etc.
