I have lived in Chicago for almost 30 years. It certainly has problems and a lot of things seem to be trending downward of late.
That said it is still a tremendous place to live. I dont think there is a better city in the world if you are in your 20s and 30s. Everyone is from somewhere else. Nobody gives a shit where you went to school. Easy place to meet people who will be friends for life. People here are down to party all the time.
Wouldnt trade my Chicago experience for anything.
RE: the laundry lady knowing better, the scene is set in 1944.
From 1940 to June 1944 you had total Nazi occupation of that area and no real conflict with the German army other than isolated resistance fighter stuff. There wasn't anybody really at war with Germany in that area until summer 1944 so all of that had to be recent to them I would think.
Watching the ski events its like something out of Escape From New York. Snake Plisskin is your host.
Only an org as corrupt as IOC could revel in this dystopia.
My issue is I have always hated being talked "at."
When you go to church, turn on news programming, or hit Twitter, somebody is always wagging a finger at you. Do that and I am out.
Search deeply for wisdom and peace, strive for something better, sure, but no matter what find a way to live in the present moment. Took me half a century to get my hands around that idea.
Watch how GB handles all that this week. I bet Adams gets 10 for 150 or some shit and they wont let him be taken out of the game no matter what.
Take what the defense give you or just fucking take what you want. The elite teams just stick it up your ass.
The old AFL uniforms are flat awesome across the board.
Dont love Cowboys matchup with Niners power game so have to get the lead and make Jimmy G beat you.
Before you get into all that stuff, try one or two TBSP raw honey 30 minutes before bed.
It will knock you out and keep you out. I cant sleep without it. Hit the google machine there is plenty out there on that.
After Cruz butchered that fly ball I quit watching. I knew what was going to happen and just couldnt take it.
Still havent seen the game winner and hopefully never will.
Rangers may never be that close again. For someone who grew up there its a bitter pill.
Dumped Comcast for YTTV. Wish I had done it a long time ago.
Much cheaper. Much better.
Have an OLED TV in living room and watching YTTV through Apple Tv box is incredible compared to that throttled down cable signal.
Record all football games and next day watch key plays. Its sweet. And the Apple Tv remote fast forward button is pretty seamless so I dont watch many huddles.
More than anything the picture quality is key. Amazing for the money.
Washington is going to backed into a corner now. Cant wait to see those emails. Going to be really hard to keep that genie in the bottle now.
My bet is that within a few weeks, Snyder or Goodell or both are gone.
Goodell's only job is to stand there and take the bullets for all the bullshit that goes on in the NFL. When he isn't able to do that he is history.
And good luck to anyone who thinks Gruden is some singular caveman. I bet elements of his attitude are rampant in the NFL. I haven't heard a lot of coaches and GMs comment yet until they try to scrub their internet history.
Beard like sandpaper so disposable just doesnt work.
Safety razor, feather blades in shower. No mirror. Two passes and done. Three shaves per blade. Nicks very rare.
Spend on shave cream with brush to add a little zen to the chore.
Nothing. Just routine exam.
Dr said in most cases it takes a decade to get out of hand so they get frustrated that people dont get the exam when death from this is so preventable for most folks.
Anyway the procedure is nothing. You have the best nap of your life and then go crush some Tex Mex.
Did it at 50 and had cancer. Chopped out a foot of my intestines and I was good to go. Had several procedures since then.
Try to schedule on a Monday during football season so at least you can watch football in basement while you are running back and forth to the can.
Its not that big a deal really. The procedure itself is a non event.
From what I saw at Bama at least Sark doesnt get in his own way. If he has something working that you cant stop, he seems pretty content to just beat your brains out with that and move on to the next week.
Amazing how many "smart" football guys cant even manage that. Just win baby.
Would think Charlotte and Nashville make a lot of sense.
The density and traffic problems of Austin with a smallish SMSA make less sense. Cant even imagine the traffic 81 times a year.
Thought it was hilarious at the time the Angels were paying him all that money for raking with the Cardinals for a decade.
One of the worst contracts in sports history and everyone knew it at the time.
Meanwhile they are wasting the career of the best player in the game.
