Jamesway is a little before my time, but I do remember Ames. My mother picked up shifts there when money was tight, and after dinner my siblings and dad would take a field trip there to see mom at work. Windham's doing alright. The people who own the ski resort just bought Windham Country Club and are redoing the whole course, last I heard. You're not wrong. I want to say Walmart in Catskill opened in 2006, and at the time was the biggest in the state (I don't think it is anymore, I could be wrong). Some local businesses that survived up until then are still around, many actually doing better than ever. Catskill has a few decent restaurants owned by locals now, and there's a bunch of yuppie money pouring into the town to turn parts of the creekfront into artsy fartsy paradise. It's no Westchester, but since Walmart came to town I daresay Catskill's doing a bit better on the local front. Kingston, on the other hand, is circling the drain. But there are other reasons for that.

There's iron in those words.

Catskill. Never got into skiing for whatever reason

ODB is alive and in my basement hanging out with Tupac and Elvis. Does that count?

Hunter or Windham? I grew up closer to the river, close to the bottom of 23A if you're coming down from Hunter.

You know how I know you moved away a long time ago? It's Colonie, dammit!

The nature of my job requires me to be reachable on short notice at times. But I knew it going in and agreed to it, which I think is the salient difference for a lot of people.

So when it says that, they only mean stupid use? I wouldn't hang my warranty claim on that, brah.

Seems that his position on Israel/Palestine is becoming abundantly clear.

Someone I know was talking about Trump's tweet re: flag burning, calling for punishment for it: Them: "Can you believe that Trump wants to punish people who burn the flag?" Me: "You mean he would have supported that flag-burning bill that Hillary co-sponsored?" Them: "..." Either these are some funny coincidences or Trump is having a lot of fun making the left trip over their own shoelaces.

Prisons? Good to see you around.

More like 3.9.

This nudge and wink sort of game that WNs are playing isn't new. The WNs have actually been doing this for some time. Wearing good clothes, getting respectable jobs, abstaining from tattoos and ****ty haircuts and other ways you easily identify a skinhead, toning down the rhetoric a bit and putting themselves in positions where they can wield influence without being immediately smacked down as illegitimate. Image is everything.

Twitter doesn't feel like playing today.

Man, you know things are bad in the Pats** internet world when the Pats fans come here for general football discussion

How'd this dude make it past the bot filter?

Yeah, the kid loves getting downhill fast. On a couple of runs this year he's shown good patience too, waiting to take what the OLine is giving him.

Meh. I don't expect a whole lot anyway.

dooooooooooooomed

Bunch of hack columnists who know how to use Microsoft Excel. The creator of 538 is a weenie.

The Pats** would still make the playoffs without Brady, but I'm not sure they'd be big Super Bowl contenders. Belichick on the other hand I think you might be right about. He leaves and the train gets off the rails pretty quickly.

Criminy. Maybe I should pursue a career in sports journalism. 1. Make your guy run well and their guys run not so well. 2. Make your quarterback make good plays and the other one not as many good plays. 3. Play well! Thanks, Vic.
