  1. Listening to SiriusXM "Life w/John Mayer"...

     

    ...John says that Kenny raises the second verse key so Dolly can sing in a place that's comfortable for her voice... Kenny, "song singing chivalry!"😉

    It was quite the eye opener passing through such poor living conditions as I was off to romp in luxury mere minutes away on my first time to an all-inclusive. I was taken aback and how wrong the contradiction felt.....until I got to my fully stocked suite.    

    Amazing what liquor can buy... Or erase...😉

    Does that mean MLB can strip John Fisher from owning the Athletics and give the franchise to someone committed to winning baseball?

    Sure.  Franchises should be community owned anyway...😉

    What is the cap limit currently at in baseball?

    Nothing.  The way it should be!

     

    In over 30 years since the cap in sports, only baseball has a more diverse sampling of different teams being there OR winning it all.

     

    I'd be for a salary cap IFF the cap is set to whatever the cheapest team is willing to spend.🤣... That would be awesome!

    Melissa has hit Jamaica with 185 mph winds gusting to over 220 mph. Not a lot you can build to withstand that. It may be the strongest storm to hit land ever.

    Exactly! Not much one can do except mitigate the loss of life.

    I go to bed early mate. and baseball well you know my stance on that. I am squarely a baseball world series baseball fan only.

     

    I'm just not that invested.  Beyond being in the city that despises the dodgers.  I've got a pic for you from my bestie a Padres seasons ticket holder. lol  No Love Lost ZERO

     

    Go Blue Jays 🙂

    Regular sleep is overrated...😉

    How about THEY rebuild themselves better... they should take a cue from Bermuda, that island is much smaller but their building codes are top notch... enough to handle a Cat. 5.

    "The phrase "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" has evolved from its original meaning of describing an impossible task to signify succeeding through one's own efforts without help. This shift in context often overlooks the idea that everyone relies on external support to achieve success."

     

     

    Given the history... Everyone needs a benefactor.

     

    I would generally agree, but the economic game has been stacked  against them for centuries.

  8. Hopefully the world puts their money where their prayers are...

     

    How about we rebuild them better than ever!  Better than the rest... Everyone, especially the one's down on their luck need a benefactor!

  9. It's the beauty of the game...

     

    Something always gives.  How many games really go that deep... It wasn't going to go really any farther...

     

    How can you NOT tune in.

     

    Watching history!

    Got my glasses and my computer monitor overlay's just now. Things when reading are just calmer. Truly amazing. Looking outside, although my lenses are tinted, the colors on the trees just pop. 

    The Bills did win for the first time in almost a month...😉

    One of the things I've noticed over many visits to various places there on business is how poorly the airport at Kingston is set up to withstand high waves. The Intl. airport is south of the land mass, and there is a lengthy causeway you must drive over to get there.

    When I was travelling there, there was no effective breakwater to protect this long roadway, and I remember thinking that if they ever had a close hit from a hurricane there would be no way to protect the airport or use it for relief efforts.

    We'll see.

    How often does a storm like this happen?  Once every 100 year storm?

     

    I am sure they really care to overbuild something in Jamaica... Especially with an industry that's just over a 100 years old on a major what if.  Yeah, just throw cash around in Jamaica on something that's never happened.😆 

     

    I guess if it gets destroyed now, build it a little better next time.

     

    Sorry for the cynicism.😉
