Was visiting a friend's 83 year old mom yesterday and saw the BN sitting there. Asked her why she still gets it? Didn't say anything political but mentioned that they took most comics out and the Bills news is 2 days old. She saireend she wants to take her tome reading and has trouble reading it on a computer screen

Some people were waste products or a-holes, but can change. One guy I thought was a waste product got a PhD in Sociology. Don't let what the person was bother you , You may have been one yourself, but the other people may have gone through more changes tha you. If the person is still an a-hole, just say hi and move on to others.There are plenty of people to talk to. Besides, you may never see them again or see them in maybe 10, 20,or more years,

Today's get together was fun, but the venue was meh. It was 93, tied for the hottest day this year. They had us outside With no fans and the "roof" had slats with wide gaps letting the hot sun through. Won't go there again. Then about5 PM, some of us went to The Cove on Transit Rd near Clinton. There was a band paying and I asked the hostess who the band was.Turned out it was Boomerang !- Draconator's band!!!!! In the few seconds between songs, I yell who is on TBD. Draconator answers and I said I'll see you at the break. So when the break comes, I got to meet him in the flesh.

Seems like you may be changing ever so slightly as the Bee is as sharp as ever, -
School tour took about an hour or so. 35-40 people showed up. Then a group of about a dozen of went to Ted's Hot Dogs across the street for lunch. Then a grpup of 5 of us that hung around together in HS went to the house of another friend who is not here this week and visited with his 93 year old mom. We always hung out at that house. She is sharp as a tack and still lives there. We ended up talking to her until 9 PM. She was delighted to see us.

In a few hours, the events for my 50th HS Reunion are starting. At 10 we are taking a tour of the High School (Cheektowaga Central) and maybe lunch after. Then on Saturday afternoon there is a happy "afternoon" at a Brewery in Lancaster and on Sunday afternoon, the Reunion itself at Tewkbury Lodge on Ohio St (across the water from Riverworks). I guess because we are so "old" the events are alll during the day. I know for sure that I will be seeing ab old friend (I have't seen hi in person since 1991). He messaged me last night that he is in town.

Mary Lou Retton - DWI footage. Bogus arrest!!
Wacka replied to BringBackFergy's topic in Off the Wall
If she had a problem with her ankle shr could have told the cop. If she's under the limit she could take the breathalyzer. I have balance problems if I look up (doesn't happen when I drive) from a stroke 10 years agp. Also have a bug back from taking care of my mom. If I get pulled over, I will tell the cop that and ask for a breathalyzer right away. -

The storm could have tracked a few miles away and the river could not have flooded. Not like this but here are a few instances just in my neighborhood. A few months ago, I am coming from the supermarket about 2 miles away. It was raining so hard, the wipers were of almost no use. I was going to pul of the main road into my street and pull over. The instant I turned onto my street,thee rain stopped and the pavement was dry. I don't mean damp, I mean bone dry. Ran into my house from the drive so I didn't get soaked. Didn't rain at my houseuntil about 8 hours later. In the blizzard of 2014 we got 7 feet. The town hall under 1 ½ mile away got less than 6 inches. -

They did. The people did not heed it.When we had that Christmas week blizzard, I and many other people went to the supermarket to stock up. Tops was mobbed. I stayed inside for a week. The ownerofthecamp died trying to save people. -

Wacka replied to Roundybout's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Same as in the blizzards here. Give all kinds of warnings and there will be be people saying "It's not that bad." and go out anyways.That's why we had so many people die in the blizzard in Dec 22. -
Go to the west coast. I had to look at a property next to The Shops at Tanforan (Mall) in San Bruno,CA (next to SFO). The property and the mall property was a racetrack from 1899 to 1964. At the mall there is a display of the history of the site. During WWII, the track was a concentration camp for Japanese-Americans. They stayed in the stables and in the infield of the track. I had a friend there who's father and mother were kept there when they were young.These were US citizens, not lawbreaking illegal immigrants. Remember, that was when FDR, a dem, was POTUS. FDR also returned Jews to Nazi Germany. Might surprise you that there was an Italian POW camp in Buffalo during WWII. The area where the Ogden St.exit (Exit1) of I-190 was a POW camp. I had a HS friend whose father was one of the POWs. That's how his dad came to the US. When released, they let him stay here
