68, outside of a few years in college and a year in Austin I've spent my entire life in the suburb of Irondequoit. Front yard is the Northern border of the United States. As Teef says, outside of sporting or cultural events it's best to avoid the city... I drive 20 miles around it rather than 4 miles through it. A friend was talking to a cop parked outside a Walmart last week. Cop said Walmart pays him to be there. If a thief is 17 or under he can't detain them, can just relieve him of the stolen merchandise and release him. This Walmart is at the southern end or Irondequoit near the city border. If I need to go to Walmart I go to Webster. They say life is worth living there. As OB says, Rochester is a great minor league sports town. Red Wings, Amerks, and Nighthawks are all mainstays. Soccer is sporadic, every few years a team appears for a while. No shortage of neighborhood bars if that's your thing. As BP12 says, we're also a great golf town. $475 will get you a season pass to all 3 county run courses. Also a good mix of semi-private and private clubs. Fairport has the best utility rates as the municipality runs their own electric. They claim Fairport Electric uses no tax money, not sure if that's true or advanced bookkeeping. Where in Ma do you currently live? My brother runs the O family farm in South Hadley (outside Holyoke, a little South of Hadley.) Anyways sorry about the breakup, good luck wherever you end up.

Looks like Doug Whaley was right

Fixed now

I guess 1997 and 2009 drunk driving convictions can be considered more mature than a 1988 cocaine suspension.

1975, Freshman year in college, someone asked the philosophy professor if he required papers to be typed. His answer stuck with me. Said you're in college now. For the rest of your life everything you do has your name on it. My expectation is that you're proud of your work. So no, I do not require papers to be typed. I simply expect that they will be.

My last two were Mom and Dad. Both made it.

Lost interest in a couple preseason games. Gave up on a couple regular season games. But always look forward to every game regardless of how meaningless they might be.

Arrested for DUI in West Virginia? Thought it was illegal to drive sober in West Virginia.

My brother and SIL live in Asheville. He's a centrist democrat, his wife makes AOC look like a conservative. Both of them admit more was done to clean up Asheville in the week following Trump's visit than in the 3 months following the Biden/Harris visit.

There isn't much that could get me to stay seated during the national anthem, not sure if this would or not. Fortunately I didn't have to make the choice.

Pretty hard to get happy after your story and this song. So sorry for your loss. This was my choice before listening to yours, never had heard it.

Any tips? I'm excellent chipper and putter, but struggle off the tee.

Meh, I'd rather have the 2 hours back. But that's me. You do you.

Correct on both counts. Won a playoff game against the Bengals in 2012. Placed on IR just before the season opener in 2017, released after reaching an injury settlement a week later.

Ordinary People Shawshank Redemption Field of Dreams Pulp Fiction My Cousin Vinny Good Will Hunting Edit: No one mentioned Good Will Hunting, so I replaced My Cousin Vinny with it. Both are great.

The new driver clearly is contributing to his recent struggles. Missing everything to the right. He'll be free all weekend to work things out, maybe try a few different drivers. His driver was not tested Masters' week, but it did pass in March. A third of the field is tested each week. Results are supposed to be confidential, he refused interviews PGA week because the press leaked confidential information. I'll make room for the possibility that missing the Memorial had more to do with letting things die down than not wanting to play 3 weeks in a row. What I won't make room for is your suggestion that he was suspended. This was a ticket for gong 42 in a 35, not 100.

Charles Romes. 9 year starter at corner, 4th in team career interceptions. Not bad for a 12th rounder. Don't think his post NFL life has gone so well.

Who cares? wasn't an option so I didn't vote either.

re Is this a low-key suspension by the PGA Tour?? - No. He likes to play the week before majors, he doesn't like to play 3 weeks in a row. He's playing at the Canadian Open next week. re Just a little more "smoke" that gives my theory that his illegal driver was more than from "regular use" a little more juice. - It really doesn't. re I remember a few years back when Dustin Johnson "announced" that he was going to take a six month break from the Tour to recharge himself, and the PGA went along with it until it leaked that he was actually suspended for six months for failing two drug tests showing Cocaine use. - I stand corrected. There you have it. Must be a one week suspension for Rory, nothing to do with his not wanting to play 3 weeks in a row. re Whenever Rory does come back, if he is not playing as lights out as he was before this situation, you really have to start to wonder.... - Sounds like you've already made up your mind.

We're not that imaginative. The black cat is named Blackie. The skinny cat is named Skinny. Nayla is the outlier, we took her in when the original owner had no other choice.

Reminds me of what I said to a fat waistline challenged girl when we got in a scuffle in 3rd grade🤣

"Truly a pathetic effort. It would have been hard to do worse if he tried." What a brilliant statement, filled with examples to prove it.

Ironically, I think most who have passionate disagreements on PPP to the point where it seems they genuinely dislike folks they haven't met would, if they were to meet at a tailgate before a game, get along with those same people. If politics comes up they might even respect differing opinions and agree to disagree before changing the subject.

Couple years ago a the vendor of a friend gave her a bottle of one of Drew Bledsoe's cabs. It was really good. We looked it up on the world wide web, cheapest we could find it for was $55. A bit out of my price range, at least for now. Prefer to stay in your $25 range except for holidays.

Fortunately I'm a fan of Washington state and California reds as well as New York state and Vermont cheddar.
