Returning to AA-Rod(gers), he's 40 and coming off that Achilles, he's going to face a rough year despite his and Saleh's optimism. I mean you kinda have to project that hopefulness but at the same time, better be trading/drafting for some protection....

Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus going on before. This hymn was mentioned recently. I certainly learned it in Sunday School. I think perhaps a reminder of the last stanza of this Christian hymn would be useful for those that deny welcome to the weary travelers. Alas, they are so hard of hearing. They've hardened their hearts. Ironic isn't it? Onward then, ye people, join our happy throng, Blend with ours your voices in the triumph song. Glory, laud, and honor unto Christ the King, This through countless ages men and angels sing.

Team #NoDrip here. On the subject of generators, I guess our family would be labeled as stubborn. If I'm to pay higher energy prices for a company policy of mismangement and profits (in order to fix the issue that may or may not be fixed) so that I'm now considered 'self-reliant' because I've spent more money (on a generator) then something seems a little backwards. However, it's not only cold out there, it's incredibly windy and is messing with my plans to mow the last of the leaves into the lawn. However, they seem to be blowing down the street into the neighbor's yard so I'm passing the buck. Hey! There's a moral to this story!

I haven't listened to the whole radio show that featured the governor, but that clip above from KVUE and his comment (near the end of the clip) is an illustration of how skewed everything is at this time. His remark: "we are deploying every tool and strategy that we possibly can. The only thing we're not doing is we're not shooting people who come across the border, because, of course, the Biden administration would charge us with murder." So um Governor, that weird phrasing makes it sound like a NON-Biden administration would NOT charge you with murder and you would have no problem with that. Certain elements of our society likely would cheer that and it's rather stomach turning. Performative clown.

Today and tomorrow is the Rod McCravy Memorial Meet at the Univ. of Kentucky (Louisville, KY) and the athletes scheduled to appear are at this link: https://live.dcracetiming.com/meets/29587/teams/735631 In addition, declathlete Leo Neugebauer has been named to the Bowerman Preseason Watch List. He was a finalist for the award last season. Womens' team member and field even specialist (long & triple jumps) Ackelia Smith has also been named to the Preseason Watch List.

No clue, but anyone that assumes there was a 'political' take on the topics of masculinity, gender, and use of the word 'conservative' (which the last time I checked is not in the sole proprietorship of one specific group) in relation to Aaron Rodgers and his various interviews is, projecting their own insecurities into the thread. This thread is sixteen pages that pretty much discuss Rodger's whining and opining about various topics (plus whether he's been the beneficiary of friendliness by officials with respect to penalties, etc). The post that was complained about offered up an opinion as to why that might be--the shifting sands of an ever-changing society. If that is political (changing norms, etc) then so is the forward pass. TL/DR: Snowflakes melt....down.

Refusing to scroll through 357 pages but I know this was covered before: people who talk/scroll/whatever on their phone and/or have zero awareness while entering highway on ramps. The purpose of the on ramp is to merge traffic safely with the traffic currently on the highway. That means paying attention to THAT traffic and its progress, whether 75/80 mph or crawling due to who knows what--probably some idiot like them on a further down the road on ramp who, in the same soporific state of stupidity, think that going 35 mph is somehow going to miraculously create a smooth merging experience for all. Makes me surly every time and today was no exception. And no, I am not driving while I type this.

I imagine Linda and Gwynne have each other on speed dial.

So can I, Mister, so can I:

Okay, but before that happens use the dollars Florida, Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Kansas, Wyoming, Wisconsin, and Tennessee declined when they refused to pass Medicaid expansion and put it where it will help the most in need of immigration services support. Perhaps that will assist the immigrants in order for them to get processed and on their way to employment and a better life. The ten states get what their leaders wanted, and the cities who received the huddled masses can become the beacons they were meant to be.

Can't y'all just move a manhole cover on her street or something? If she fell in, the neighborhood would probably decline to report it.

Sorry for the derail. If there isn't a thread on old recipes that perhaps should never be resurrected then there had ought to be. I know there was/is a guy on social media/YouTube that makes old sometimes odd, sometimes wtf, sometimes hey that doesn't look too bad recipes from forgotten cookbooks and blogs about it, but the potential on Surly to find the strangest ones is limitless as witnessed by the salad above.

First, I did not know of the host or his show but certainly knew of Aaron Rodgers as we followed the Packers for many years. But the whole 'talking head' sports stuff whether NFL or NCAA I just tune out. However, after some game on ESPN one night my husband must've turned the tv off and so McAfee show's was on and I made it for five minutes max because in addition to him and his brofriends not talking football, they were surrounded by toys/memorabilia and it was a lot like the same eye-glazing nausea one might get from the Home Shopping Network. I know a lot of fans collect stuff/get autographs but these guys better not make fun of the Comic Con set cause they're just a different flavor of the same lollipop. So I hear you, Chooky, I hear you. Second, ditto on the suits with sneakers. I understand that some show hosts wear shorts, etc if they're behind a desk and it's not visible but if you're camera from head-to-toe then I want either a sharp dressed person or if they've got bonafides as a former athlete then at least something professional and not 'Mom made me wear the clothes and I picked out the shoes.' If my husband is watching pre-game, I either wait until the game starts to sit down or mentally critique the tie and suit combos. Since females are usually sideline reporters, that's another one where practicality has to actually meet performance because they're actually on the field. Finally, I don't care about an athlete's sexuality or gender preference (No CR). But if it's really important to them personally that they project an image one way or another, they could easily do a PR relationship with an NDA. It's done in Hollywood all the time and is no big deal. As long as nothing criminal is going on (DV, assault, minor, etc) then two adults doing adult things is none of my business and has no bearing on the game.

I understand this is Surly, but you're really insulting Roy "Rocky" Dennis with this comparison. Rocky was ostracized and marginalized but his family never stopped advocating on his behalf. His rare genetic disorder did not affect his intelligence although his health was compromised and the fight his mother took against the school district to have her son included in mainstream classes was a lesson in perseverance, classism, and compassion. Elon, on the other hand, has been pampered and petted since birth and compassion is a foreign feeling to him. Rocky died at 16, while Elon was making plans to use his mother's Canadian citizenship to attend school in Canada (from where he then transferred to UPenn in the states). The only grit in Elon is the sand in his white butt crack. RIP Rocky Dennis;Put some respect on his name.

Rose: Where you been? Cosmo: I don't know where I've been and I don't know where I'm going. Sounds about right.

Just one of y'all let me know before the final info is released. I gotta make some calls...

She encourages citizens to vote. I really would not want to get Swifties mad at me, though. QAnon kept talking about a Storm coming? Yeah, the Taylor fans would unleash an epic level flood if Fox pissed them off.

The photographer for the church directory when that guy shows up:

That was my second thought but my first was this one:

Sunrise, sunset Sunrise, sunset Swiftly flow the daaaays. Students grow into Floridumbs, Transforming as their eyes glaze. Sunrise, sunset Sunrise, sunset Swiftly fly the years. One season following another, Laden with countless non-woke beers. What words of wisdom can I give them How can I help to ease their way? If you see tiny Ron, run far far away.... *Apologies for the off meter butchering of this classic to Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick who composed and wrote Sunrise, Sunset for the musical, Fiddler On The Roof (1964), sixty years ago.

Training for prison, perhaps? Strong resemblance to Josh Duggar in that photo. (Duggar was the eldest child from the 20 something kids and counting program on TLC. Convicted sex offender.)

Is it just me or is it rather ironic that someone, the head of the company in fact, who has exploding cars and rockets is at all "concerned" about IQ? The hubris, the pseudoscience faith, the lack of comprehension and critical thinking about topics, is rather astounding. I think Elon should ring up Aaron Rodgers, they could be sandbox friends together on their little 1% playground.

Brad Pitt was born in Oklahoma. Long range planning and risk consideration is simply not in the water. Explains a lot don't ya think? *He was raised in Missouri (Springfield).

Kinda looks like meatloaf on a stick.
