I bought several of "the" Bo Jackson card (black and white, wearing shoulder pads and holding a bat) for $6 a piece and remember checking Beckett magazines and watching it raise and raise and raise. Being 9 years old, when it hit $12i thought I would be rich. Then he got hurt and it plummeted. I had thousands of cards, sorted by team and alphabetical order in 3 ring binders. Now I think all I have left are a few of my favorites that are stuffed in a shoe box stuffed in the top of my closet. Haven't look at the in years.

My district is going 4 weeks of online and will then reevaluate. The thought at this time seems to be extending that an additional 4 weeks or going to a hybrid model (A-L come Mon/Wed, M-Z come Tues/Thurs) with Friday being online only. Last spring I think that the majority of teachers in my district did the best they could with online learning. As with any profession, some teachers just flat out suck and did very little. The hardest part was reaching kids and parents. The GT/PRE AP students and those with parents at home did their work. The average students struggled a bit but got the hang of it towards the end and were able to complete assognments and get caught up. However there was a good 25% that couldn't/wouldn't be contacted, refused to do work, wouldn't pick up Chromebooks or Hotspots that the district handed out, and basically just went into shutdown mode. This fall will be the same. I believe most teachers will do as much as they can to contact parents and reach kids. But there are some kids that will excel no matter what is going on and there are others that won't give any effort. One thing about this entire situation for teachers is that no matter what administration decides, somebody will be pissed and throw a fit about the decision. On a side note, we've had sports camps (all sports, 7-12 grade) all summer and had zero issues, no shutdowns, and no cases. Coaches are being overly cautious with cleaning equipment before, during, and after workouts. Temperature checks are required daily, masks are mandatory, social distancing is maintained to a point. We've gradually gone from weights and individual skills (no offense vs defense, 3 on 3, etc) to more group activities. It's been successful for us.

Once every few weeks when I'm home alone I fill a trash bag with randomness found around the house. Nobody has ever asked about any of it disappearing.

"Want to have a garage sale next weekend?"

He was in the first Superman movie too.

Apology accepted.

James Bond approved.

The state champs have to compete with all the club and pee wee leagues that give giant rings out weekly all through the year.

The reasoning is by switching sports around you run the risk of winter/spring sports losing two seasons which isn't fair to those kids or coaches. Yes, football is king, but the majority of coaches want to do the right things by the kids and not cause a mutiny on the coaching staffs.

Sometimes you just gotta fight for your right.

I had high hopes for this one.

Crossfit.

The conception or the tornado?

They teased us for a brief moment when she came out of the tent wrapped in blanket only to reveal her wearing a nightgown underneath.

I was grandfathered into a plan and for years only played 30ish + free hbo, and also bundled our internet and cell phones. Cell phone bill was astronomical (280 for 4 lines plus the 30 bucks a line if we upgraded). Finally decided to stop being a loyal customer when the TV price went up to 65. Switched cell phones to Cricket (100 bucks total), got a standalone internet provider (45 for 400 mb), YouTube tv. Even with the price increase, what we have now plus all of our streaming stuff is still a lot cheaper than the Directv/att setup that we had.

Even with the YouTubeTV price hike it is still only half of what a "value cable" package on 3 televisions would be if I bundled with my current internet provider. I believe I have until the end of August before I get billed the new price so we will see.

Big satellite dishes Ski trips Big screen tvs that you had to sit almost directly in front of to see the picture Houses that had a "sitting room" with no television in it

Superman III with my kids on HBO Max. The movie doesn't get much love but still contains one of the best superhero scenes ever with bad Superman/good Clark in the junkyard.

Cheesy by today's standards, but seeing Superman: The Movie as a kid in theaters and seeing Clark turn into Superman for the first time and save Lois from the falling helicopter is one of my all time favorite scenes.

I tried something similar and could pick up everything but NBC. May look at mounting the antenna to the old directv dish on the roof and see if that helps.

The price hike sucks but the DVR features and being able to watch on so many screens at once makes me not want to switch.

You guys with YTTV, switching to Hulu or what would you recommend?

Playing baseball at an old elementary playground, was coming under a high pop fly, and didn't realize how close I was to the rusty backstop. Caught a screw to the face that ripped half my cheek off. I have a nice scar down the left side of my face. A 1/4" or so in the other direction and it would've gotten my eye.
