  1. Read that! Is this a thread of its own? Search function blows chunks!
  2. No silly, where your residence was when you were the "minority." Jefferson and Best? Bailey and Genesee? ?
  3. Thanks. I wonder what Juneau is doing. No roads go in and out of the Capital. So, the Capital city has to be out of the equation. ?? Unless it's coming in by plane or boat/ferry. It's gotta be Anchorage and Fairbanks. FWIW, I find it fascinating because it's so big and isolated up there. Tourists?
  4. https://thetylt.com/culture/chicken-wings-drumsticks-flats#:~:text=Flats are far superior when,it's not even a contest.&text=Drumsticks tend to have more,ranch or extra buffalo sauce. “The flat is by far the more enjoyable wing for a few reasons. One, the meat in the middle tends to be more tender. Two, it’s actually easier for some to eat in one bite. Three, it can be deceiving but the flat has more meat on it.” --
  5. I just got done with my throne. Not exactly the right way, but it will do. Tell me what you think:
  6. Thats what I am hoping. Raising house prices beyond what people can afford. Then the hunt for cheaper digs. But there will be transfer of wealth. All the old ones dieing in this will transfer $$$ and property to their children, etc... That transfer will affect the economy. 150,000 already dead. This will play out in many forms. The education bubble is also coming...
  7. Janice I need some help here getting up on stage! Holly, you can help too!
  8. That's exactly like where I live here. Just more diverse. I can find a house for cheaper than my vehicle. Decent too!
  9. I get paid by the hour, blue collar. Even with my "management" wife who makes more, we still qualify for stimulus, but we take a small reduction. There really is an "escape velocity" here for especially the working class. Who the heck has a $3,000 mortgage? We have 5 more years left on house and we are out. Yup. Ain't rosy for the working stiff.
  10. Yup. Things aren't that expensive for people coming in from The City. Actually downright cheap even in the posh areas like Williamsville, Amherst, E.Aurora...
  11. Thank You! Money talks, BS walks. I grew up in S.Cheektowaga, W.Seneca schools. Things are changing and the money is fleeing.
  12. Sorry. I don't think it's funny. Money discriminates. The system is complicit. I live 20 miles from downtown Chicago. BS on location. Move to the North, its different. It's socioeconomic.
  13. No. But let's expel the elephant ? in the room. I am in a very diverse part of the South Suburbs here. In Will County, on the edge of the country. Explain how I built my house brand new in 1996 and in 2020, my value is less. I lost money on a new house in a collar county suburb. If I move my house via helicopter to the North Suburbs, homogeneous, less diverse area, I would get +2x what I paid for it. Same if I moved it to WNY. We live in a very racist country. It is what it is. I guess people will want nice, cheap housing some day. That's a plus. I live in a very nice rural area. It's just very diverse.
  14. Called white flight, especially here to across the border into Indiana. This is 2000 & 2010 Census. 2020 has to have this chart on "steriods." Williamsville and Amherst. LoL... Very diverse! Williamsville is 0.1% AA.
  15. RIP. Maybe it's just me... But I miss when there were no ads on the boards. It totally ruins the game. Baseball is different, historically ads just in outfield. But in hockey such an eyesore ads on boards and ice are!
  16. Owned a mess of B&S mowers. Always had to check the oil. Great... But needed more love. High maintenance American.
  17. Thanx. Those aren't bad motors. Venerable. But my Japanese Honda doesn't burn oil and a 90 year lady can pull start it.
  18. Hide other things, like license plate and front yard. Here's the install. Lower LED light bar will go in later. Behind front, lower grill. Here's the auxiliary power: Added relay bracket forks for future upgrades.
  19. I addded: "Sasquatch" lights to my new rig. You ask, "What are Sasquatch lights? But before I did that, I added extra fuseblock and 100a breaker....For future power supply needs. 36" removable LED light bar, quick release off front load bar. Should give a little bit of light on trail, camping, or on those dim evening fall tailgates?
  20. You'd make a hell of a Lock Operator! It just took you 16 hours. That's lightning quick! ? ? "The Army Corps of Engineers' motto is “ESSAYONS.” The term, which is a French phrase meaning “Let us try,” is a nod to the French engineers who aided the American army during the Revolutionary War."
