The most wild thing I've seen was up in the observation tower of Mt. Diablo near Oakland. Mt Diablo is in Walnut Creek. It's about 3700 ft in elevation. Once while in the observation tower on a clear day, I could literally see the curvature of the earth from well south of San Jose up well into the North Bay. Right along the Pacific Ocean shoreline. In the other direction I could clearly see Sacramento and even make out some peaks from the Sierra Nevada Range.

I love that song! Would be amazing if he plays that next month. (My wife and I have club seats for this show at the stadium). My all time favorite Elton song! When I saw Rush in 1996, they did the entire side 1 of 2112. I thought that was it. Couldn't be topped. Then in the 2nd set, they brought this out. That topped 2112 for me. Became a mainstay for a couple of tours after.

Actually a friend of mine just went through an ankle replacement. If I can put it correctly, it's where they literally remove the ankle bone, and do some grafting to where the ankle bone needs to regrow. My friend is also a tough mofo. In the 6 weeks since his surgery, he's already gone to a walking boot and can put 50lbs of pressure in limited quantities. Here's to the same outcome for JK.

I have some advice. Tip your waitress well. You never know where it may lead.

Are you handling Xavien Howard's contract for the Dolphins?

No. I'm not a stalker (much)...

This is the internet. Everything is 100% accurate. You didn't know? She can buy one from me!!!!!! So THAT'S how it's done!!!!!

Tyler Bass will break the NFL record for longest field goal in a game, and it won't count because it's preseason.

Bar Bills, no question.

I had a friend visit from Columbus, OH. The only thing she was interested in was to visit Anchor Bar. You make a very good point.

Wings outside of Buffalo, skin and bone. Wings in Buffalo, skin, bone and actual meat on the wing.

I'm voting to add Bar Bills and Big Tree to the poll please

After working on a website for 5 1/2 hours, I come here and I see Duke's name... ...it's a sign.

He was something....

I once worked for a internet start-up in San Jose and the owner mandated the flu shot. But there was no HR Dept to take a grievance to. Just him.

This is me

But Rex is also on there, so the one cancels the other out

A quick Google search, (Google, WHAT A CONCEPT) led me to the Bills Mafia Babes Instagram page. To say it is disappointing is an gross understatement. https://www.instagram.com/billsmafiababes/?hl=en

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/31869652/rick-dennison-minnesota-vikings-assistant-refusing-covid-19-vaccine-sources-say?platform=amp&__twitter_impression=true&fbclid=IwAR1m-wd8tPzQqA7y1KBakZFJq0M_Nc1Y8JLLfvGnSeMNTm6SqNSsCSRaPmk EAGAN, Minn. -- After refusing to receive a vaccine for COVID-19, Rick Dennison is out as a Minnesota Vikings assistant coach, sources told ESPN on Friday. Dennison, who had served as the Vikings' offensive line coach/run game coordinator the past two seasons, is believed to be the first NFL position coach to part ways with his team after choosing not to receive a vaccine. The vaccine is required for all Tier 1 staff, including coaches, front-office executives, equipment managers and scouts. Players are not required to receive the COVID-19 vaccine but will face strict protocols during training camp and throughout the season that vaccinated players will be able to forgo. In a memo released by the league earlier this summer, the NFL said any unvaccinated Tier 1 staff member must provide a valid religious or medical reason for not receiving the vaccine. Losing Tier 1 status prohibits coaches from being on the field and in meeting rooms and having direct interactions with players. Phil Rauscher has been promoted from assistant offensive line coach to fill Dennison's position, sources told ESPN. The Vikings also hired Ben Steele, who had recently been hired by Auburn as a special-teams analyst, to fill the position Rauscher had held since 2019. Dennison's departure comes at a time of transition for the Vikings offense, which will be guided by first-year offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, who was promoted this offseason to fill the role his father, Gary, held in Minnesota during the 2020 season. With 27 years of NFL coaching experience, Dennison was considered a vital piece in helping bridge the gap for the younger Kubiak given his extensive experience calling run plays and knowledge of the scheme the Vikings have used since the 2019 season. The Vikings were one of the league's heaviest running teams in 2020 behind Dalvin Cook, who became the first Minnesota player to rush for at least 1,500 yards and 15 touchdowns in a season. Cook was responsible for 30.5% of the Vikings' scrimmage yards in 2020, the second-highest rate in the NFL behind Derrick Henry (33.8), according to ESPN Stats & Information. Dennison worked with Gary Kubiak for more than three decades in Denver (1995-2009, 2015-16), Houston (2010-13) and Baltimore (2014). Prior to joining the Vikings in 2019, Dennison served as the offensive line coach/run game coordinator for the New York Jets during the 2018 season. Rauscher is entering his seventh season as a coach in the NFL after joining the Vikings in 2020. He coached with Dennison on the Broncos staff during the 2015 and 2016 seasons and was Washington's offensive line coach in 2019. Steele was on several NFL rosters as a tight end from 2001 to 2007, including in Houston under Gary Kubiak. He began working in the NFL in 2013 as an offensive quality control coach for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a position he held until 2016. Steele was later promoted to tight ends coach for the Buccaneers before moving to the Atlanta Falcons, where he was an offensive assistant in 2019 and tight ends coach in 2020. He was hired by Auburn earlier this year. The Vikings will hold their first training camp practice Wednesday.

So they're now half a baseball team, half foster care for feral cats?
