  1. Completely different. I was able to spend the day reading and fishing at Kailua. People just randomly stopped walking on the beach to talk about fishing. Being a full continent’s worth of miles away from the mainland is a nice feature of being here. @Orale can probably speak more to that since he has been here for several years. Hawai’i is the last place I will ever live in America before heading away at the end of next year. If you have the ability to do so make this place your home for a little while at least. It has definitely been amazing to reconnect so much with nature and the ocean here.
  2. Those are the eyes of a crazy person and he’s from Long Island. You never unleash crazy Long Islanders on the rest of the country.
  3. Exactly. Just all out in the storefront window again for everyone to see.
  4. They do this for attention. You know this Jimmy. There is nothing that you can say that will get a reaction that is rooted in reality. You just let these folks go on living in their made up construct and move on. Putting people like that on ignore makes this place easier to read.
  5. I am glad I am no longer there because I would have unleashed a torrent of curse words upon seeing that in the Bronx. A divisive hate monger died. He does not deserve anymore attention. He reaped which he sowed.
  6. All I have to offer Kirk and his family are thoughts. No more no less. I’ll save the prayers for people who didn’t live their life as a hateful and racist Christian nationalist.
  7. They’ll say Obrigado and maybe get some Pao de queijo thrown in as a goodwill gesture.
  8. Jimmy Stewart featured prominently in the book called The Big Week. Interesting look at the biggest bombing week leading up to D-Day.
  9. What I see transpiring is that the elite talent on the top end of the sport keeps getting smaller. When I was a kid there were more players capable of winning a major. There is a dearth of these guys now. Could someone else come along and break up the monopoly these two have on the sport? Sure. Has that person turned pro yet? Honestly I am not certain that person is on tour yet. Injuries are always the things that give other guys a chance. With Alcaraz I had no background on who he was the first time I watched a match of his in Rio in 2022. It was one of those moments where you just know this guy is different. Sinner is in that same vein. Watched him practice a couple of years ago ant the US Open and he is just so impossibly long and fluid in his movements. It would be cool to see more top flight competition on the men’s side, but who that player or players will be I just don’t know. I feel confident in saying it won’t be Shelton.
  10. Alcaraz is redefining the men’s game. Sinner is as well and they’ll alternate winning a whole bunch of slams and lesser tournaments. Hard to believe I sat out there at Arthur Ashe three years ago until the late hours watching his round of 16 match against 2014 Champion Marin Cilic. That he is so dominant at age 22 is just ridiculous. He and Sinner have the chance to rewrite the record books with how far ahead they are of anyone else.
  11. I doubt he cared. This was just him rubbing it in the nose of the Manhattan socialites who still want nothing to do with him. He had to show them that he can do and be anywhere he wants to be, including the US Open. No more no less.
  12. That his heart didn’t stop beating before, during or after the match.
  13. Bear here is what I will say. I find that this way of thinking about the world around me helps me out and perhaps it will help you as well. Think of all of the things that have importance in your life. Your family, your friends and other things in your personal life. Think of work related things as well and the importance they have in your life. Take this thought and apply it to the two previous things I mentioned. If you are still alive and kickin' in 20 years what will be the things of importance to you and what will be what matters in 20 years to you that also matters today. It won't be deadlines you had to meet at work or people you had to work with or work goals accomplished. The only thing that will matter 20 years from now that matters currently is your family and friends and how you treat people along the way. The rest of it just does not matter. Focus that big heart of yours on the things that intimately matter in your life and let the rest just be the rest. Keep doing good and keep being a positive light in the lives of folks that need it.
  14. I stand by saying that every time these people lie on camera there needs to be someone there to give them a shovel to the face.
  15. I would have just stopped at thoughts.
  16. Lampasas has started out nicely very considering they lost most of their offense going into the season. Bryson Robert’s is playing QB his senior year after starting at WR the last two years. Still good to beat the Billies by 38 in week 1 and then a foot off the gas win against Salado tonight. The one thing Lampasas definitely stil does well is the defense offensive line play. That is a well coached unit with really good size. @Beau Vine’s Texans get a chance to be the underdog this year on their home field and thankfully for them there is no Ty Johnson there to get long TD’s against them. He’s the off in SoCal now getting national attention that just would not happen in Lampasas.
  17. Yet the JV is the one dumb enough to get caught. 2025 and the Clips are still Clipping.
  18. Weird Al’s next parody should be “Wokey Paradise.”
  19. TFG is supposed to be at the US Open men’s final on Sunday. I hope he gets booed and cursed at by everyone at Arthur Ashe if he shows up. Wouldn’t shock me to see that idiot try to take the trophy with him and claim it as his own.
  20. And just a reminder that anytime you feel even the slightest bit of empathy for the cretin walking out in crocodile tears from that meeting also said this.
  21. She DOES NOT CARE. Just an opportunity to cry for the cameras and get attention. No more, no less. She should have to take a shovel to the face from every survivor giving their testimony that was there that day.
  22. Saw Sisu 3 times in the theater. Loved that movie so will be watching the sequel on opening night. My friend in Finland will enjoy knowing they have a 2nd film of this.
  23. Unrelated, but the first time I rode a train was the one in Palestine. Do they still operate that train ride?
  24. Narcissistic clown, this one is. She delights in watching brown-skinned people have families torn apart through deportation. She absolutely deserves every single bad thing that will happen to her going forward. She deserves not a single moment of peace, joy, happiness or anything like that. Drop her off with a parachute into a Siberian forest in the dead of winter. People like this should have to live each and every day filled with horror and sadness for what they have done to people trying to make a better life than what they had where they came from. Lest we forget most of those countries that immigrants show up from are destabilized countries because the of the actions of the CIA and others going back to the 1950’s. The unintended consequences are HELPING THESE PEOPLE OUT, not turning them away.
  25. What a horribly fabricated story. Even by GQP standards this is a terrible one. Hope we hear about a funeral for him soon. This trash bag of a person deserves nothing but scorn and a reserved spot on the grave pissing tour. Hope they bury him near NYC so access to his grave will be quick to piss on and leave. Complete waste of a human being that should have to spend the remainder of his life living in the South Bronx in a trap house selling meth to survive.
