It's increasingly clear to me that CNN deliberately sandbags for the purposes of the fear driven ratings, the Arizona and Pennsylvania numbers being indicative of that. It's irritating.

At least one victim has been transported to Grady in Atlanta. Good and bad with this, Grady has one of the best trauma centers in the world. Good news, more weren't sent here, meaning to me either, the other victims are not severely wounded, or too wounded to transport this far (about 40 miles). Hoping for the former rather than the latter. For those interested, Winder is sort of in between Atlanta and Athens, in Northeast Georgia, roughly 40 miles from either location. It is heavily populated and rapidly growing, much like most of the Atlanta region.

CNN released it polls today, which is virtually the opposite in several areas. Wisconsin Harris +6 Michigan Harris +5 Georgia Harris +1 Nevada Harris +1 Pennsylvania Dead Heat Arizona Trump +5 I find their Pennsylvania and Arizona numbers to be highly suspect.

11 Alive is pretty good, NBC Atlanta affiliate.

The other thing is that we have an unusual political situation looming, in that we have a lame duck leader. After the election, regardless of how that goes, Biden will have a couple of months to do this sort of thing, and it gives political shade either way (not as much to one side, but hey). We can accomplish this sort of plan with minimal usage of actual troops or pilots by using our own vastly superior drone capability.

I've long felt it's time we put out some red lines of our own and make our intentions clear, as in, get out of Ukraine or we are going to make you, NATO or not. Make it clear we won't engage in Russia (so as not to violate Russian Nuclear doctrine), but to pretty much deliver an ultimatum that it's time for Russia to go the fuck home. A clear message, broadcast across the world, "you have 48 hours to begin to leave, and 2 weeks to be fully gone, or we will clear the air space and ground targets." Unlike Russia's red lines, our need to be concrete. Make it abundantly clear that it's over, if that makes us the bad guys in the eyes of the Russian population, so be it (here's hint, that's how this ends anyway, so who fucking cares?). I don't give a rats ass about ever doing business with these idiots, so to me, who cares about that concern? Leave them isolated, strangled with economic sanctions, and humiliated. Fuck em. Make conditions so fucking bad in Russia that if they want to rejoin the modern the world, they are going to have to make massive changes.

Yep, had absolutely nothing to do with our island hopping campaign, our absolute destruction of the Japanese Navy and Air Force, our complete and total air superiority. Nope the Soviets, without a real navy to speak of at that point, or air power of any significance in the theater is what just turned the tide. Patton was an asshole, but he was always right, we should have just kept marching straight to Moscow. It's a shame we lacked the political will to do it, the world would be a very different place today.

James Darren, 88 - probably best know for Star Trek DS9's Vic Fontaine. He had a lengthy film and music career.

Get that Rhino shield, lifetime warranty, chemically bonded.

Not a chance. They are also attaching Clemson to the lawsuit.

Probably not.

You want any of this?

I hope he saved that Dr. Pepper money.

To be honest, not sure how anyone get away, but at least a few did

Sort of like blocking punches with your face.

I'm not sure it's quite the feat to have all your assistants back, as the announcers seem to think. That means no one else wanted them.

You are right, I got them screwed up with stupid SMU being in the ACC.

A rash of stupid penalties by the defense, horrifically bad offense, followed by a big play with a stupid fumble.

I will say this, in terms of style of play (and yes I mean dogshit), these two teams fit the bill for the ACC.

I don't like all this as much as anyone else, but at least you guys and Oklahoma make some level of geographic sense. Right now we are watching two teams in the Atlantic Coast Conference, playing a home game a few miles, quite literally, from the Pacific Ocean.

Dragon automated resupplies are pretty common place (so much so they are rarely even mentioned), and generally have gone without a hitch. That combined with the current cache of supplies up there, it shouldn't create any sort of problem. If I remember correctly, the payloads of the dragons are generally a couple thousand pounds, and most of it is consumables like freeze dried food and water.

Some pretty awful shit here, Johnny Gaurdeau of the Columbus Blue Jackets, and his younger brother, 31 and 29 respectively, struck and killed while riding bikes a couple of days before a wedding. Suspected drunk driver. If you are gonna get tuned up, get a ride.

Nothing to see here

Some of us use the calling card of the upper decker.

I like that plan as well.
