Sounds like Jimmy Spags!

My kids love frozen watermelon. It kind of has the texture/flavor of Italian ice.

I was wondering about the increased heat/humidity. Not sure about all areas of the country, but we’ve had rain just about every day here in Vermont. Record rainfalls and flooding on a couple days. Ponds, wetlands, river and streams are all overflowing. One other possible factor is all the road construction on the chunk of Rt 7 that I drive multiple times/week. They’re replacing one bridge and resurfacing the roads in many areas. That must have the animals all f’ed up. I said 3 quacked of contritions and moved on.

Been seeing lots of dead porcupines by the side of the road this spring/summer. Coincidence?

Intetestingly, I’ve never hit a bird until recently. Smoked like 5 of those bast-ahds in the spring. Not proud if it, but why you hate my Subaru Outback so much, birds?

Was driving home from my son’s lacrosse practice, and two of them zipped right in front of me as I was going around a sharp corner. One made it, but the other I greased. I feel awful. Thoughts and prayers accepted. 🦆 💀

Bridges. John Wayne was corny as hell, IMO (ducks).

My brother in law, who is a huge Bills fan and lives in Rochester, has two sons (11 & 8 years old) who are both Chiefs fans. I give him a lot of credit. He has a good sense of humor and is a great dad. He even took them both to the playoff game last year fully decked out in KC gear. 😂

Great movie. Not for the faint of heart or easily offended though. I recall when this came out hearing that many of the actors were also professional skateboarders. Not sure if true. The final scene with Casper and Jennie is tough to watch. 😬

Not necessarily representing my high school experience in the late 90s, but Superbad is a hilarious movie about high school life.

I’ve had to disengage from Sabres social media this weekend (especially Twitter or X). Absolutely brutal. Every time the Sabres posted to “introduce” a new draft pick the comments were relentlessly negative and ridiculous. It’s tough to see. I hope these young players aren’t reading this stuff. 😝

Myself and a couple buddies got club seats a few years back and did not have a good experience at all. If you like to stand up and cheer during critical/exciting moments in the game, be prepared to be reprimanded to “get down in front” by all the lame snobs behind you. I’d rather sit in the nose bleeds. Never again. Just my opinion. I’m sure many folks prefer to sit for the entire game. 🤷🏾‍♂️

I enjoyed the NBA playoffs, and I’m not really a huge fan of pro basketball. The Celtics were obviously in a different league all together, but I really enjoyed watching the Knicks improbable run. Also OKC and the Timberwolves both play really up-tempo, exciting styles. Love Anthony Edwards. I can’t stand Luka Doncic. Incredible talent, but one of the biggest cry babies in the game. He should have played soccer. Hate Kyrie too. I was happy to watch the Mavs get their teeth kicked in.

I chose the NYJ because I think Miami’s defense is appreciably worse than last season. That said, I don’t think Rogers is close to 100% and likely won’t make it through the season. On paper, the Jets look like the more complete team right now.

I don’t know about all that. Diggs was an elite WR during his entire time in Buffalo. That said, I feel strongly that if a player doesn’t want to be in Buffalo, they should not be in Buffalo. Buh bye. Good luck.

Pretty sure he was hoping for an extension or a trade.

Women bouncing on trampolines!!

Louden Swain would kick this guys ass! 😆

For the Pats game last season we stayed at Holiday Inn Express in Hamburg. Wasn’t super nice, but was just fine if you’re not too fussy. Reasonable price, clean room, free breakfast buffet, and a very easy trip to the stadium. I would stay there again.

4 ⭐️ transfer. Originally a Wake Forest commit. Averaged 14.5 points last season. 6’5” 200. Good get 👍

Yeah.

I’m hearing that our chances are very good.

Who’s up for a 5 ⭐️ 2025 commit today? Sadiq White anybody?

Kickers, much like goalies, are a strange bunch of people.

Pollen, ragweed and mold. The pollen is really kicking my butt right now. Woke up yesterday morning with my throat and right eye swollen after mowing the lawn and doing some other yard work on Thursday. Allegra is what I take. I’ve been thinking about starting to get allergy shots.
