Salt on melons isn't weird. Brings the sweetness to the surface. But... The vinegar... Never tried that!

The Bills first colors were silver and blue. Ralph is from Detroit. If Detroit doesn't exist, Bills probably don't. I have been waiting 20 years for the carp to get into Great Lakes... And I keep the lock gates open extra long at times. LoL... Gonna be interesting to see autonomous vehicles in winter, with snow removal operations and winter weather operating corrections.

We shall see. Got the clock ticking.

$300 a month? X amount of miles... Let's all rely on an app? How about ditching the cellphone bill? A nice car payment and insurance is less. Go anywhere you want, when you want. LoL... Great... Let's see how autonomous vehicles interact with real humans driving them... It's nice to dream... But I at 51 won't see it.

Oh oh... Mr.Kotter, what is:

Sorry... Ooops, you're the guy in the fur coat, right?

Yet... Less consumer trappings to spend it on like now.

Buffalo has always been a city of a select, but vocal, urban elite. It's a city that told Henry Ford to get ***** -ed... He then went to Detroit. We are a hard puzzle, people-wise, to figure out.

What's the bill going to be on that dinner? Remember... We are mostly "sweater wearers and cooler draggers." I hope the powers that be don't misjudge who their market really is. We got a loyal fan hollering all hell when "surge" pricing for the Cheaters game dinged him 5 extra bucks. CC: @BringBackFergy @mead107 @Cripple Creek BCC: @Gugny I hope I have this "blind carbon copy" thing all figured out... I'd sure hate to screw up and get their name out there. LoL..

But when it comes down to Downtown Buffalo, they usually don't... "Build it and they will come" doesn't apply... Unless it's free. Buffalo was one city killed by roads. Expressways. Buffalo was the first all paved city in the U.S. (for obvious winter reasons)... We have an expressway (Scajaquada) going right through Delaware Park & another(Niagara Section) hugging the water that should have been built further inland. Buffalo is designed to move people through and out... Not linger in. Oh... I see what you're saying!

That's not weird. Oh wait, you're NOT Canadian. LoL... This: + I just invented last week... LMAO

I thought the winning design calls for this: How are cars going to go down that thing. Can't wait till it snows... Be like the toboggan chutes @ Chestnut Ridge Park?

Let's look at this positively. I say we have a future first round pick in the National Nursing Home Fight Club League (NNHFCL) draft in 2048! ??

Not to mention the Sky Way route will be closed down and repurposed. Of course one can come in and leave other ways... But it's an traffic artery that is being shut down.

The Indianapolis experience is the ultimate in sterile. It's quite disturbing! Hope that never happens to BFLo! Nothing compares to BFLo in Orchard Park, maybe Green Bay around Lambeau. Kansas City... All old buisness models. Chicago is a joke. Be prepared to drop a grand.

https://www.vice.com/en_uk/article/yw55yw/experts-explain-why-you-laugh-when-you-shouldnt "...“In the field of psychology we understand the unusual things better than we understand the common things.”So there you go. Nervous laughter happens, you’re not alone, but it is a curse. On the plus side, this is most likely happening because your brain needs to diffuse the anxiety triggered by upsetting things, and therefore you are probably more sensitive, not less, than people who have their ***** under control. Use this line; it is likely your best defence."

BFLo is a radial city. I agree with you, the last thing Buffalo needs is the Bills downtown.

Actually it doesn't suck. We parked there last year in a parking garage a little bit away and I think we only paid $4 with SpotHero. We didn't mind the walk through downtown. It was a garage that is used for business during the week. I betcha there is even free parking in Indy.

Yeah... That's what we need. Sad. Well... The laughter will motivate the stick in the mud religious types? I see what you did there! LoL...

I look out of place everywhere. LoL... But I kept up the convo with "Basha" our Moldovan Uber driver. Maybe I would fit in better in Moldova? LMAO! Should I get a plane ticket it out of here?

Yeah... The folly part is pretty low. Nothing really to laugh at here. Like you said, it takes a back seat to other popular issues. Bringing attention to this BS at least gets it out there. If (the air play) it stops at least one incident, that's a good thing!

Who are you and what are you doing here... Why did I get this notification? Hey Pal, you wanna step out back? ?

Holy Moly! /smh https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1066236 "Three women in North Carolina are accused of running a fight club among elderly people with dementia at an assisted living facility, police and state health officials say. ..."

Got a handgun? Be careful defending your castle... It just may be a cop sneaking around the back. Looks like having a gun in the house got her "death by cop." Geeze... Hope the real bad guys aren't paying attention... Going to pretend they are the police. "...The 28-year-old woman was playing video games with her nephew in the back bedroom of the home when they heard noises coming from outside, the document says. She then pulled her handgun from her purse, her nephew told police, and raised it. She was pointing it toward the window when she was shot and fell to the ground. It's unclear how much time passed before Jefferson was shot or whether the nephew heard the officer's voice..." That's how. Read above. Yikes. When you hear something out your bedroom window (that's secured by a fence)... You should always shout: " Whooo is it?" Before digging for your revolver. Wow... This clown set back "defending your castle" back to the stone age by just not ringing, knocking & going through the front door saying: "Hello! THIS IS THE POLICE." Next time grab a rock. Forget the firearm. What's better, guns or no guns? In this case, no guns.

I said: "cultivating." "...Like these previous presidents, Trump hasn’t made a blatant lunge for dictatorial power. But his intermittent impulses toward autocracy have made it necessary for advisers, Congress and courts to contain him. He argued during his campaign for the efficacy of torture and prosecuting his opponent, Hillary Clinton. He has threatened media whose coverage he found insufficiently admiring, and tried to suppress the Trump-damning book "Fire and Fury." He proposed an un-American religious test for immigrants and refugees to ban Muslims; infected the body politic with nepotistic and business-crony appointees; shrugs off Russian meddling in our elections; and discussed a mass roundup-*****-deportation of illegal immigrants. (Arrests of undocumented immigrants surged during Trump’s first year, though not deportations as of yet.) To top it off, the president plays fawning footsie with real dictators. "Can It Happen Here?" discusses how Trump-like populism has left democracy wobbling in Hungary and Poland, where elected strongmen have variously packed courts and government bodies or otherwise curtailed their ability to challenge the leaders. More recently, Italian elections so rewarded far-right parties that one observer tweeted, “While we were sleeping, Putin won the Italian election.”...
