How many roads must a man walk down Before you call him a man? How many seas must a white dove sail Before she sleeps in the sand? Yes, and how many times must the cannonballs fly Before they're forever banned? The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind The answer is blowin' in the wind

What have I gotta do to make you love me? What have I gotta do to make you care? What do I do when lightning strikes me? And I wake up and find that you're not there What've I gotta do to make you want me? Mmm hmm, what've I gotta do to be heard? What do I say when it's all over? And sorry seems to be a hardest word It's sad, so sad It's a sad, sad situation And it's gettin' more and more absurd

Almost cut my hair It happened just the other day It's gettin' kinda long I coulda said it wasn't in my way But I didn't and I wonder why I feel like letting my freak flag fly Yes, I feel like I owe it to someone Must be because I had a flu for Christmas And I'm not feeling up to par It increases my paranoia Like looking at my mirror and seeing a police car But I'm not giving in an inch to fear 'Cause I promised myself this year I feel like I owe it to someone

It's the time of the season When love runs high In this time, give it to me easy And let me try with pleasured hands To take you in the sun To promised lands To show you every one It's the time of the season for loving

There's something happening here What it is ain't exactly clear There's a man with a gun over there Telling me I've got to beware Think it's time we stop Hey, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down There's battle lines being drawn Nobody's right if everybody's wrong Young people speaking their minds So much resistance from behind

Indeed, exactly how it feels. Very well said.

In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep From the mountains of faith To the river so deep I must be looking for something Something sacred I lost But the river is wide And it's too hard to cross Even though I know the river is wide I walk down every evening and I stand on the shore I try to cross to the opposite side So I can finally find out what I've been looking for In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep Through the valley of fear To a river so deep I've been searching for something Taken out of my soul Something I'd never lose Something somebody stole

Yeah, I can see it now The distant red neon shivered in the heat I was feeling like a stranger in a strange land You know, where people play games with the night God, it was too hot to sleep I followed the sound of a jukebox coming from up the levee All of a sudden, I could hear somebody whistling from right behind me I turned around, and she said "Why do you always end up down at Nick's Cafe?" I said, "Uh, I don't know, the wind just kinda pushed me this way" She said, "Hang the rich" Catch the blue train Places never been before Look for me Somewhere down the crazy river

Satellite's gone way up to Mars Soon it'll be filled with parkin' cars I watched it for a little while I love to watch things on TV

No worries. Clarification appreciated.

Once in a while you get shown the light In the strangest of places if you look at it right ---------- Correct form? (sincere question) 😁

Waking light, it grew from the shadow Brace yourself to the morning low Night is gone, long way turning You've waited long enough to know When the memory leaves you Somewhere you can't make it home When the morning comes to meet you Lay me down in waking light No one sees you here, roots are all covered There's such a life to go and how much can you show? Day is gone on a landslide of rhythm It's in your lamplight burning low When the memory leaves you Somewhere you can't make it home When the morning comes to meet you Rest your eyes in waking light When the memory leaves you Somewhere you can't make it home When the morning comes to meet you Open your eyes with waking light

Thank you @qwksilver . Indeed, this whole experience has been a mind#### on every level. And I definitely get the value of not rushing to quick change. I will admit to a good many days and nights of just wanting to run, run to anywhere that I don't have to deal with it. And even now, I admit to having feet of clay regarding the decision to make this change. But I am starting to arrive at a point where I feel considerably more clearheaded than I did initially. I don't know where the line in the sand is for me, in terms of trusting what I see and feel, but I do know that I sense clarity returning. After growing up in the Southern Tier, I lived in WNY for much of my life. I would leave for a few years on many occasions only to return. After about 8 years back in the area, I left Tonawanda in 2015, ironically after moving there from a couple of years in Florida. When I left Tonawanda, it was to get married. So here I am realizing that so much of life in Florida has been as either a relative newlywed, and then suddenly as a care giver after some shi**y medical surprises changed everything. So now, most of my memories here are those that I both treasure and hurt when thinking of. I know that pain will continue to fade. My decision now is answering the question of where I choose to rebuild my life. After months of introspection, I have arrived at a place where I want move forward and leave those memories behind, of course with a grateful place for them in my heart. It just feels like time to come home. I am now retired and I laugh when I think about swimming against what seems like the natural current, retiring "from Florida to Buffalo". Out of order as that sounds, and all things considered, it feels like a healthier, happier place for me.

Thank you for the kind thoughts and suggestions Augie. Sarasota is in fact where I am now, and looking to sell. I get mixed signals from realtors here and of course, the on line buyer sharks out there want to steal the property. But I'm comfortable in the ability to sell a 5 year old home at a fair price. RE: Hamburg, Orchard Park etc... I have previously dismissed southtowns immediately due to more lake effect there, but am revisiting those assumptions. It does seem there is good value in some areas outside of the northtowns. Lancaster seems to be jumping out at me in some of the online listings that I have looked at. Can anybody out there offer any feedback on that area?

Just throwing this out in to the wind to see what feedback comes back. After becoming a widow earlier this spring, I'm now starting to step away from the pain that experience naturally brings, and I'm facing up with the reality that life alone in Florida just isn't the experience I'm looking for in my remaining years. I am about 80% of my way to the decision to move back to Buffalo and I will be traveling to Buffalo this week to explore some housing options. I'm hoping for some feedback on some good parts of town to look. In my earlier Buffalo life, lived in Town of Tonawanda and always liked it there. I still have interest in my old house there and have considered renovating it. Still, I think about how the housing stock in that area has continued to age and am not sure how to feel about that. When I consider alternatives in the area, my knee jerk reaction is that it would be fun to live in one of the new downtown lofts and be closer to Sabre games, concerts etc... but then reality sets in. I am a man in my 60's, sober for decades and not sure that I belong wondering around downtown at night on a regular basis. So there it is, I am not looking for the Elmwood Strip, every night a party experience at this point in my life, just a nice decent area to live with decent middle of the road housing cost (probably just a tad below the Clarence price points) close to shopping and restaurants and within easy striking range of downtown. Any and all feedback would be so welcome.

Does he get a bonus "life and work balance" training camp week in The Bahamas bonus as a deal sweetener?

Should've just gone to Walmart. You'd have blended right in.

I heard that encore was otherworldly!

Having a LOT of repeat loops of the same 30 seconds of audio. Been happening for about a week.

Actually, if it hasn't already been noted, Ernie suffered a severe knee injury in his second year in Buffalo which destroyed his effectiveness. Not sure when the leukemia came into play, but I do believe that was farther down the road. "DiGregorio only played 31 games in the 1974-75 season because of severe knee injuries, a 50 game drop from his 1973-74 campaign. Despite this, Bob McAdoo won the MVP while averaging 34.5 PPG and 14.1 REB. The Braves' record jumped up seven wins from their previous season, and they made the playoffs again. However, they were bounced in the first round. Ernie's numbers dropped across the board in this season, with his PPG being nearly cut in half to 7.8 and his assist numbers falling to 4.9 per game. In the next season, his numbers stayed around the same, except for the fact that Ernie managed to play 67 games in that season. Then in the 1976-77 season, he played 81 games and reclaimed his free throw title, making 94.5% of his shots at the charity stripe that year. But still, his other stats were lackluster when compared to his rookie numbers. His PPG was at 10.7 in this '77 season, with his assists being just as average at a 4.7 mark." https://aminoapps.com/c/nba/page/blog/ernie-digregorio-the-unknown-what-if-of-the-1970s/j064_1QQcKu8lrJoaK76bkpe8aoMWbLY5rb

In terms of impact on the Bills, Ahmad Rashad. One great year in '74, then injured an on to greener pastures in Minnesota.

I love this! Never connected those dots on my own before, but absolutely on the money!

Where's little dirty?

How about they just wear Bills uniforms? They're great as is.

Does he want to be... anarchy?
