  1. A water-proof Teleprompter? Has the President seen this?
  2. He really has not played that well. He was definately "talking the talk" looking to the $4 Mil this year. Sorry it didn't work out for him, and for us, but he was given a lot of chances. I really didn't expect to see him stay healthy, and off IR for the entire season.
  3. I saw the game. So far, Thigpen has the advantage in that: he's tighter with Chan, and has a better grasp of the play book. On the other hand, Vince seemed to be much more of a playmaker. He has the athletic ability to get yards when most other QB's couldn't. It's the First Pre-Season Game so, no final decisions need be made now, but if Vince can sharpen up on the plays and players, based on his NFL experience, I would be inclined to put him ahead of Thigpen.
  4. The surrender at Yorktown said we won, and that's good enough for me. The British Military played the song "The World turned upside down." If they only knew!
  5. Had to work late last night/this morning and listened to the whole thing live. It was fantastic! I guess NASA, JPL etc. are not the dead end government agencies that a lot of people said they were. NASA could have looked very bad if this had failed. They showed the world "live" exactly what the USA is capable of. They really kicked ass on this one! So now I can say I was actually at work during both this unmanned Mars landing and also during the first Apollo Moon Landing in '69.
  6. Normally it would sound as thought Rex put his foot in his mouth AGAIN! BUT, knowing his fondness for Toes, maybe that's where/how he's comfortable.
  7. His liver may have made it!
  8. Don't forget thr $8K+ maint. fee. Gotta keep the place up, don't you know!
  9. Many of us took a year off and went to Viet Nam! Some even partied- "I love u all day GI, five dollar!" My Dad & my Uncle took a year off and one went to the Pacific and the other went to Europe.
  10. I don't go to movies because I'd rather die than get down on that nasty floor!
  11. Every time I hear her name I think about the lyrics to MUSTANG SALLY. RIP Sally!
  12. Metro wouldn't help much if you had to travel from SW to NW. You would have to go into DC to make the turn back out to Chevy Chase. NW DC including Chevy Chase is very expensive. It's also very OLD. Small lots, big trees, mostly pre 40's houses, limited parking etc. A lot of the old houses have been modernized and they are very expensive. Virginia is not a real option because, heading NW, there are no bridges across the Potomac. If Metro is important, get a metro map and see how far it runs into the Rockville/Gaithersburg, and beyond into MD. Considering your budget, that's the likely direction to look for a place to live. Just remember, some people that work in DC drive as far N as Gettysburg PA. and as far S as Fredericksburg VA. because they can't afford the DC area.
  13. CFO dies suddenly??? Check the Books! You may have more than an ethical quandary on your hands. It's summer, forget the tie!
  14. I know he never got one in training camp.
  15. The ad used to say; "It's a long swim but a short ride to Crystal Beach!" Now that's probably no longer true!
  16. I'd have to shop for new pants!
  17. I understand what you're saying, being Irish myself, but not all the Irish are Saints, Poets or Philosophers. We have our share of "back-sliders" too! The years have not been kind to S Buffalo. Given the choice, I wouldn't spend a lot of time around much if the area where I grew up. Seneca/Cazenovioa/Indian Church Rd.
  18. Kenny was great! I was sorry to see him leave. So between Fred & CJ, who will be our "go to guy" in the Red Zone?
  19. Knowing how much Canadians respect and appreciate gardening, that's a very nice article.
  20. The RAIDERS are going to LA. Their Staduim will NOT be renovated, and they are no longer a good draw in Oakland.
  21. I grew up there 50-70's and you're right. S Park Ave was never any garden spot BUT people used to have jobs, be responsible and care about themselves and their property. Take away the Steel Mills, the Railroads, Oil refining, the Chemical companies, downsize the Auto Plants, and what you see is pretty much all that's left. Who/where are the Father(s)? Chances are they were not at work!
  22. Couldn't sell that today, it's TOO DANGEROUS! His Funeral Hearse was a Chevy Volt!
  23. I'm from the other side of the Park, Seneca/Indian Church Rd. Grew up there 1950-70. My parents bought the house because, at that time, my Mom didn't have her license yet. We could walk to all kinds of shopping on Seneca. Woolworth's, Grant's, Sears, 2 "Super Markets", 3 or 4 Banks, Western Auto, etc. etc. You could take the 15 Bus downtown in :25, so it used to be pretty nice. Most people worked at one of the Steel Plants, or one of the Railroads, and a few worked downtown. There were several local taverns that used to charter school busses to go to the BILLS Games at the Rockpile. That was great! You could eat and drink as much as you wanted, you have a bus full of friends to look out for you, if you had too much, and no driving worries. Good times, for sure!
