  1. Yeah it's no Ankeny... yet. I worked the area for about 3 months last year. I also did the drive from Des Moines to Sioux Falls and they asked me what I thought. "It's real pretty. I loved the farmland and homesteads." "No national folks ever say that. How country are you?" "Enough..."
  2. Ames is most definitely NOT a suburb of Des Moines. LOL.
  3. Started Sons of Liberty because I enjoyed Turn! Washington's Spies so much. It's an entertaining watch. For both shows I love the depiction of how the colonists had very real choices to make, as did the wealthy landowners. Paul Revere was a bigger badass than I initially thought.
  4. Different styles of beer go in different glasses. For American lager/ Mexican cervezas I want them as cold as possible to mask the lack of actual flavor. Gimme the schooner, frozen...
  5. He sucks. So does Tech not putting their black-red-black out there. It has always been our best combo and they continue to fuck with it.
  6. The A's haven't always been in Oakland, so the nickname letter is a little more consistent. See also: the present.
  7. Yeah, middle of nowhere is great if it's the right college town. I never want to live in Lubbock again, but it was great for school. You shouldn't be able to afford jack shit during college anyhoo...cept beer and ramen.

  9. Wanted to give props to PETSMART Today our beloved pup of 13 years crossed over the rainbow bridge. It's been a shitty day, for no other reason than I already miss her terribly, even knowing she is no longer hurting/ suffering like she was. She was on a special diet of food that autoshipped on a regular basis. We still had a new bag, in the shipping box and unopened. I thought it might be worth a shot to call and see if it could be refunded at the local store or whatever. I call CS and explain the situation and ask if it is even possible to take it to the store for a refund or whatever( I know they don't carry it in-house.) The rep listens and then says she is issuing a refund and that the company only requests that we donate the food to a shelter or kennel. A bright spot on a tough day. Thank you, PETSMART.
  10. I stay to the right, with my bags tight to the right edge. If you can get by, WGAF? FWIW, I agree about moving around and getting the blood flowing before a flight. I will stand, as opposed to sitting at the gate waiting area for this reason. On the moving sidewalks, sometimes I walk, sometimes I don't. Always try to be courteous to others trying to make that connection though.
  11. Updated drought map
  12. Trevor Lawrence will be starting his 5th NFL season this Fall. Bo Nix, also 25 is starting his 2nd. JJ McCarthy, also 22 and the youngest QB, is beginning his 2nd season
  13. Lake Travis Info 659.90 feet on a conservation pool of 681. The rainfall in the past week has raised the water level more than half way from its deficit last week towards full capacity. My interest in the lake info is twofold 1) it is an incredibly interesting reservoir WRT water levels and extreme lows recently and 2) have cousins who live on the lake at Lago.

  14. For 9 innings?
  15. We've had this discussion before. The league ain't like it was in the 80's/ 90's, no matter how much you fantasize about its current state. Remember someone listing Bill Laimbeer as an example of the Pistons defense, when he, at BEST, was the 4th best defender?
  16. LOL. Steph Curry was a legacy NBA player whose slight build lead to bigtime questions about durability and physical toughness; but was well thought of as an offensive threat by anyone paying attention. He answered the concerns in the most dramatic and convincing of fashions. The NBA officials and players didn't go out of their way to shun and beat the living fuck out of him either. The league damned sure didn't let the Pistons and Knicks, among others; beat the living fuck out of him. Jordan is a far better example of someone who got fucking physically obliterated early on. Even then, he wasn't treated like Clark has been in the WNBA. Hell Jordan even made the '84 Olympic team.

  18. You damned sure took the road less traveled. Where was the final destination? Did ya hit Normangee on the way down?
  19. I like the striping on the helmet in the promo better than that mockup.
  20. Public education, legalization of MJ, among other things are areas where I vary greatly from what people "think" I would believe. LGBTQ and race relations within my own family are different what people "think" they know. I hardly follow a party line. I hate the parties. You dislike me because of our political differences. You cannot even discuss basketball- not because of my basketball opinions, but politics. Because of your behavior, not your actual content, you are on ignore. I only saw your post because it was quoted. Keep on keepin on, bro.
  21. Not likely to ever find out, but it would likely spill over into other discussions. It already does on a limited fashion. Some folks cannot function without their "pound of flesh" or "objective facts that always go in one direction."
  22. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9432746/ Legalization of cannabis by U.S. states is likely increasing the use of cannabis as an alternative to conventional pharmaceutical drugs. We examined how cannabis legalization between 1996 and 2019 affected stock market returns for listed generic and brand pharmaceutical companies and found that returns were 1.5-2% lower at 10 days after legalization. Returns decreased in response to both medical and recreational legalization, for both generic and brand drugmakers. Investors anticipate a single legalization event to reduce drugmaker annual sales by $3B on average.
  23. Having grown up in Texas, if I hear the big sirens, I'm seeking shelter, not higher ground. Given the fires/ floods Ruidoso has been through, I'm not sure what hearing the big sirens would mean beyond check the radio/ TV.
  24. Never trust a fart...
