  1. Square D was purchased by Schneider Electric some time ago. I know that there are plants in Columbia and Seneca SC. The plant in Raleigh and Asheville NC closed. There are plants in MO, IA, and NE.
  2. Was working for Square D / Schneider Electric in Raleigh NC. Normal day - big multi-plant operations review going on. Heard the news from someone walking by my desk. Switched over to TBD and WGR radio. The plant leadership team hustled to get a couple of vans rented and they drove back to Columbia / Seneca SC, Ashville NC and Louisville KY. Sent text to wife to fill car up with gas. Nothing got done past noon - left early. First thing I did was put my flag up. Still remember the individual that was a frequent poster on TBD and his account of leaving the area and of getting home.
  3. Good catch, yes - Cold Mountain.
  4. On Cold Mountain The Art of Racing in the Rain Where the Crawdad's Sing Anything from Jim Harrison
  5. Glad I had the opportunity to see the Stones once in my life.
  6. Even more reason why I enjoy watching the game at home.
  7. I called about 2 weeks ago to inquire about a discount expiring. Got new discount. While in the discussion with customer service rep he mentioned that I had been a long time subscriber (year 2 of home version ST). CSR said that if I've been a customer for that long I should get ST for free. Volia!!! No begging, pleading, white lies.
  8. Neither. Have not had a soda (regular or diet) in over 30 years.
  9. My question is why didn't Barshim jump again at the next height? He cleared the bar on his last jump by a mile where Tamberi just scrapped by. No guts - no glory?
  10. Cool Hand Luke Patton Ferris Buehler's Day Off
  11. Went to SB31 (1997, GB v NE). Had to fly in and out of Pensacola as flights to NO were booked solid (understandable). Wound up in some pseudo-hotel / hostel. Phew, that was in a sketchy area. One block in the "wrong" way and it was not pretty. I did get to meet Ralph Wilson, among many other NFL types, at the Friday nite NFL cocktail party.
  12. Thinking about it. My sister lives in Jacksonville Beach. Pretty good brew / pub (Intuition Ale Works) and distillery (Manifest) right near the stadium. Word of warning - Jacksonville is the largest city in the US (?) by square area. In other words, it is spread out big time. Beaches are 30 - 45 min from the stadium.
  13. Second the recommendation on City Hall / observation deck. There's also a boat tour out of the inner harbor.
  14. Place in Boston made a breakfast sammie using Canadian bacon (with peameal). Out of this world!! https://www.mikeandpattys.com/ Sounds like that guy has a Saturn 5 rocket cooking those eggs.
  15. Need to see my parents - thinking Memorial Day weekend. Eyeing the Bills game in Jax this fall. Other than that, half day Fridays again this year possibly.
  16. I have not had a soda of any type for ~20 years. Habits are formed in 30 days, lifestyles in 90 days.
  17. Two more: My Dog Skip Up
  18. - Guess Who's Coming to Dinner
  19. He, Irv, and Tom were the "real". Godspeed Rick
  20. First Pfizer jab this morning. EZ - PZ. Halfway there. No issues so far 🤞.
  21. My family had season tix for about 10 years. Our seats were in the lower bowl near some "bump out" in a corner (player side, directly across the Zamboni access). I can't find a seating chart readable enough to find a section number to reference. There was only one of these "bump outs" in the arena, never knew why that was there / what it was for.
  22. The kid from Alabama has been put out there. Trey Sermon from OSU is one to look at also.
  23. Curiosity. Maternal side of my mom's side of the family has a lot of documentation. Father side of family - very little. Was interested to do more research / understanding. The show "Finding Your Roots" was also a motivation.
  24. I’ve lived in 3 different states since moving from WNY in 1984. You can take the man (or woman 😉) out of Buffalo, but you can’t take the Buffalo out of the man.
