    ISWYDT and I'm hoping like hell that it gets sidetracked.

    Getting old sucks

    Had this exchange with my kids after a trip to Field of Dreams, Saturday.

    The wife and I were at Field of Dreams Saturday evening. Many JEJ quotes were uttered. This gave me a lump in my throat.

    We were here 10 years ago to see WSU kick UNI ass in basketball when Baker and VanVleet were playing. We never made it downtown. Big mistake. This is a really cool place. We came up last night so the wife could go to Field if Dreams this morning. It’s been a lot more fun than I expected.

    Singlespeed. Ate brats at Weblo’s or whatever the name is. Shit, there is a chocolatier across the street and a a French pastry shop attached to the hotel. I’m in diabetic heaven. I could live here.

    Congrats Al! I spent most of today in Cedar Falls day drinking. The surly Iowa fans right now in the Blackhawk Hotel bar would warm your heart. Despondent doesn’t quite cover the vibe they are giving off. Well done!

    My Dad was an 18 yr old Hospital Corpsman onboard the USS Wisconsin for the last 6 months of the war. He didn't talk about his service much but he did say that he was scheduled to be part of the first invasion wave. I don't know if he really knew that or if it was conjecture on his part but he always said that those bombs likely saved his life.

    Do any of you regularly use your EV on gravel or country roads. I'm thinking about upgrading my wife's ride to an EV but we have 3 miles each way to town on gravel. Depending upon the recency of the graderman, the road can be rough. I'm worried about vibrations shortening circuitboard and battery life. I am considering the Lightning because of it's ruggedness but she really doesn't need the extra size complicating her life. Thoughts? ETA, My daughter has a Mach-E GT and my brother has an Ionic 5. I have driven both and am sold on the EV overall. Durability is the issue.

    It was the Fancy Ferry

    This isn't a Steel Shank entrant but I didn't know where else to park it. This excellent looking poutine prompted my post. Breakfast Poutine onboard a ferry from St. John, N.B. to Digby N.S. last week.

    Nothing to see here. Move along.

    The boss broke out the soft-serve machine.

    My brother and I had tickets to his show in June, 1969 but the show was cancelled. The local radio said it was a lack of sales and, if so, that's the most Wichita thing ever. Check out the prices. This guy claims the show was cancelled after Hendrix was busted at the Canadian border and took a break from touring. I don't know what really happened but I was pissed. https://results.concertpostergallery.com/lot/23511

    The scorer changed it to an error shortly after the game ended.
  17. Shoxthemonkey
    He has pictures of somebody. He hasn't earned the long leash that he has.

    Oh, I got what I wished for. DM was canned . The reason KC had to settle for the deadline deals they made is because the farm is littered with the good sons and fathers that DM treasured. Nobody else wants those guys. It's going to take a couple more drafts and deadlines before they get the farm system back in shape. Calling Phillips a potential legend was hyperbole but he would be an improvement over most any of the OF from the last 3 years.
  19. Shoxthemonkey
    He coulda been a KC legend but bible-thumping, stick in the mud Dayton Moore took a dislike to his joyous attitude and sent him packing for virtually nothing. Royals outfield is still a mess because of DM's value of piousness over athleticism. Fuck that guy.
  20. Shoxthemonkey
    God, I hope so. That kid is turrible. Doesn't look like KC gave up much for the modest moves. What it really means is that the farm is so shitty that nobody wants any of the hands. Erceg looks like a decent pickup. He's better than any of the warm bodies in the pen. Onward and upward.
  21. Shoxthemonkey
    Maybe he's the OF bat that KC is looking for
  22. Shoxthemonkey
    His enormous balls act as a rudder.
  23. Shoxthemonkey
    God dammit! Hit by the first pitch. Fucking weenies.

    I jinxed this once before but I’m doing it again. Witt Jr with a triple, double and homer by the 4th inning. Cycle watch. Royals up 8-3 over Arizona. BWJ is 12of 14 since the break.
  25. Shoxthemonkey
    I’m aware. Lots of Royals fans thought the return for Chapman was meh. Who knew a change of scenery would make this much difference. Looks like it worked out for both teams.
