50 of the Most Outstanding Album Covers of All Time
Mr Info replied to TSNBDSC's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Pertinent to this thread. http://ultimateclassicrock.com/hipgnosis-album-covers/ Interesting anecdotes to (in)famous album covers by Hopgnosis. Includes covers for Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Genesis, Peter Gabriel, and others. -
50 of the Most Outstanding Album Covers of All Time
Mr Info replied to TSNBDSC's topic in Off the Wall Archives
This was designed by Hipgnosis who were responsible for many other creative and iconic album covers. https://wimwords.com/the-hipgnosis-album-cover-gallery/ -
Whoever said that may have been thinking worldwide. Rabies death is just about eliminated in North America due to animal control & vaccination but worldwide, someone dies of rabies every 9 minutes. https://www.cdc.gov/features/rabies/index.html

Not if you are talking about the USA. https://www.google.com/amp/outbreaknewstoday.com/florida-reports-2nd-human-rabies-death-recent-months-23275/amp/

Let there be songs, to fill the air....
Mr Info replied to The Poojer's topic in Off the Wall Archives
My fave Garcia band is Legion of Mary. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legion_of_Mary_(band) Short-lived but some great shows. Merl S and Martin Fierro (sax & also played on Wake of the Flood) Kahn, & Ron Tutt (Elvis’ drummer) were an outstanding band. -
I called last week and tried to get a ST discount. It was obvious to me the rep had been trained. He asked, “Wouldn’t you spend more $ going to a bar for 16 games?”. I cancelled my ST and asked to remove my first charge. But I knew my contract expires Aug 25 so I will call back before then to see what I can do about re-adding ST. Will try the approach recommended in this thread about requesting account discounts rather than specifically asking about ST. I am waiting to see if Directv sends me any offers about ST after I cancelled. I am a long-time Directv & ST customer and also multi-line ATT mobile customer.

Retirement: Where to Get the Best Bang For Your Buck in the USA
Mr Info replied to T&C's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Agree with this but will also add something that perhaps some people do not carefully consider when selecting a retirement location: medical/health care, transportation, and an advocate (family member) present. I have in-laws who we had to move near us because there was no one to care for them when they chose to retire in the boondocks. They can no longer drive and require transport. They require some nursing aide periodically. Fortunately, they have plenty of $ but still amazing how quickly it can get spent for health care. You live far away and may not be close to medical doctors or dentists, hospital, etc. Plus, they may not be as well-qualified or experienced as you would like or need. If your family is not nearby, who will function as your advocate in dealing or questioning Medicaid, Drs., secondary health insurance, etc? If you have a car accident when 65+, good luck affording the insurance if you can get it. This will impact your independence. Perhaps living somewhere that allows you to walk to places is something to consider. I don’t mean to be the harbinger of bad news but am experiencing the reality of it and trying to do the best for my in-laws. People are going to continue to live longer but probably not in optimal shape. Live long and enjoy but think of the future and impact your decision, location, and situation may have on your family. Learning firsthand how to prepare for retirement. -
Favorite all time fast food combo meal
Mr Info replied to Royale with Cheese's topic in Off the Wall Archives
I rarely eat fast food but go to Cook Out if I want a tasty, quick & inexpensive combo ($5). Cook Out locations are south of Maryland in the eastern US. -
Just got back from FloydFest and the band with all the attention was Greta Van Fleet. They only played once but a rockin set...would call it Led Zep meets GnR. Well organized fest, too. But this was their 18th year putting it on so that helps with getting logistics well defined.

Do you find the "Saints" name/logo offensive?
Mr Info replied to BringBackFergy's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yep, not offended at all but I am not religious. And I am not offended by a fleur-de-lis either. Glad camp starts in 2 days. -
None was assumed. Thank you for the insight. My grandfather had a dairy farm in Kendall but that was long ago. It is out of the family now. Perhaps now owned by the Mennonites or Amish as you mentioned in another post. Some of the muck farmers near Rochester were acquaintenances in college. They were fairly young. Their big cash crop was not onions and I’ll leave it at that.

That is relative. According to this USDA 2017 Farm Real Estate Value assessment, farmland is relatively inexpensive in NY compared with other states. https://www.usda.gov/nass/PUBS/TODAYRPT/land0817.pdf That does not mean you can find it for sale. just it's not that expensive in comparison. II am curious as to big farm competition articles in upstate NY because my google searches turned up rather empty.

I grew up in Batavia & my parents still live there so visit fairly often. I would not consider Batavia to be a thriving metropolis but a micro-brewery recently opened there: https://elifishbrewing.com/ It is a nice place to raise kids. If your friend is more interested in rural living then I suggest Elba or Oakfield or some other villages users have mentioned. Just depends on whether he wants to be closer to Buf or Roch.

But that’s only half the story. “She said the two sexual acts — allowing a horse to fellate Webb-Jackson and digitally penetrating the horse — amounted to acts of cruelty.”

Countdown to Kickoff for Bills Packers game
Mr Info replied to Ice bowl 67's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yep, I figured to get a reply like this. My intent is to help a Bills fan trying to find a place in GB for the game as they are not easy to come by. If it works out for some couple, great. If not, we get a big place in Green Bay. Also, I do not have any extra tix. -
For this stay, the significant other must be a female.
-
Same for me, Ned Long time Directv and Sunday tix customer and the only discount offer through chat was Sunday Max for the same price as regular Sunday Ticket ($48.99/month) which is a savings of ~$16/month. I said no thanks right now.

@diver Thanks for the tailgate info I looked at other commercial Packer pre-game tailgates on-line and saw this one at Bart Starr plaza: https://bartstarrplazatailgateparty.com/packages/ What was interesting is what they said about the Parking lots: Parking lots open six hours before kick off and are available in the US Cellular Lot and the arena lots. Is that true for the T KIN lot?

Ok, I may regret this but I have rented a 2 bedroom 1300 sq ft upper level of a house Airbnb for 10/29 (Sat) in GB on North Clay St. My wife and I are flying up for the game and we only need 1 bedroom. PM and let me know if you are interested in the other bedroom. I will heavily vet. It has to be a guy with a significant other woman. This place is nice and I got it the day the schedule was announced and hotels sold out. The price is $130 for the other bedroom.

Yesterday, season tix holders received another email about training tix at SJF. Today (July 12) an email about tix for night practice at New Era on Aug 3. I ordered these. Only way to receive them was thru mobile app. Might be soon for public.

@BuffaloBudis referring to the broken scapula that Craddock had from a crash in Stage 1 yet he continues to stay in the tour. https://www.google.com/amp/amp.timeinc.net/cyclingweekly/news/racing/tour-de-france/lawson-craddock-ready-fight-like-hell-stay-tour-de-france-breaking-scapula-385856%3fsource=dam There was a crash in Stage 4 and Tiesj Benoot finished with a dislocated soldier & a bunch of stitches in his head. He withdrew before Stage 5. For those interested, here are answers to Tour questions such as how they pee, how many riders have died on the Tour, and how much the bikes weigh: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bicycling.com/racing/gmp20037343/14-questions-youve-always-had-about-the-tour-de-france/

I grew up in WNY and called it pop. First trip in college to visit friends in Manhattan and I used the term ‘pop’ for a carbonated beverage and all looked at me like I had fallen off the turnip truck. Have never used pop since to refer to a soda.
