  1. No matter what your leaning, please take pause at 3 PM and remember our brave heroes that have given their lives for our freedom. I was reminded of the real meaning of the holiday when I was out Geocaching yesterday. I was near a cemetery and the chimes at 9 AM were playing Anchors Aweigh,The Army Goes Rolling Along , the Marine Hymn and Wild Blue Yonder. I sat in my car to listen to all four.
  2. William Henry Harrison? He served only a month after getting sick during the inauguration.
  3. And if the f'n idiot Clinton would have allowed drilling, we'd be getting the oil now.
  4. I remember his incidents on AM Buffalo and him riling up the pro-abortion protesters in front of his house by opening the drapes and waving to them. Jimmy was one of a kind!
  5. The Iron Bridge in Marilla is on Clinton in Marilla and is over Cayuga Creek. I have an aunt and uncle that live about 500-100 ft from it. Just past is the county line. There were more than a few deaths from kids jumping in the creek from the bridge There was a deep pool (20-30 ft deep), but right next to it, it was only 1-2 ft deep. You could sit in the creek and let your feet dangle over the underwater ledge. They filled it in and also cut down all the big old trees so kids couldn't tie ropes to them. In Cheek towaga, Cayuga Creek was about 700-800 ft across the street. The last time it really flooded bad was in 72 when Hurricane Agnes(?) stalled over the Southern Tier. William and Union had about 2 feet of water (I know- I was a stupid teenager that walked through it). After that, the Corps of Engineers worked on the area just east of Unin Road and it hasn't flooded since. I believe the headwaters of the creek may be in Cuba, NY.
  6. The fry machine at McD's broke down, so Mr. Mortgage had a day off!
  7. I'm not sure exactly which one it was, but it was one of those weirs. The spring or summer after my father died, I noticed a new grave nearby. It had a temporary marker. The guy was young an dthe date rang a bell. It was the guy that had drowned a few weeks earlier. This was in 91. I geocached in Birchfeld a few times. Last winter, last summer (the creek was low then and you could walk on the bed), and the winter after the October snow (many trails were closed with the downed trees)
  8. He said on Stern today that he lives about half the year in Mexico- might be a problem.
  9. Mental Illness?? Voting for either is a sign of mental illness. :lol:
  10. It doesn't have to be a large dam. There is a guy (was in his early 20s) that is buried very near my father's grave. He drowned in a kayak on Buffalo Creek in West Seneca. The dam he went over and got caught in the "drowning machine" was under 5 ft high.
  11. Who the hell are these "bands"?????? No good music since the mid 80s. /old fart mode off
  12. If the mob eats there, they have good food.
  13. I thought he was ok. I will not make any more jokes about him. He should quit now and save his energy for the fight.
  14. I have a black and white TV that I bought in 1979. It will work until next year. I have a VIC-20 in the closet. I pulled it out several years ago and it still worked.
  15. Reminds me , in a way, of Wayne Brady's bit on Chapelle Show.
  16. Well, he didn't specify an American candidate did he?
  17. I always knew Oregon was full of loonies, this confirms it. Nuremberg 1936?
  18. It's the tingles down his spine, and probably some place else too
  19. Volkswagon had a commercial where they drove a beetle into water amd it floated. National Lampoon put a parody ad in the magazine with that picture and the caption "If ted Kennedy drove a Volkswagon, he'd be President today. " They got sued by both Kennedy and Volkswagon.
  20. My friend had a job programming missle guidance systems. He had a t-shirt with a submarine, the shore and a nuclear blast on it. It said "24 empty missle silos, a mushroom cloud and now it's Miller Time!"
  21. I meant that as do any politicians really work .
