ExiledInIllinois

I have been to Wilmington, Illinois and drove past the "Gemini Giant"... "Launching Pad Restaurant." Is kinda neat... Antique shops in Wilmington, nice little town on Kankakee River...

Just be careful with dolphin encounters... This poor girl took it upon her own to make her own encounter, leave her jetski and attempted to swim with them... Just recently. https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/teenage-girl-killed-shark-jet-skiing-australia-96894090 😔😟🙁😥😞

Those mid-season "adjustments" was called: "Josh'sElbow." 😏

ADHDing of a game, I guess it was bound to happen given people's short attention spans. Might as well install a time clock, punch in and punch out. Why can't the ump reign things in? Slowpokes get it done!

You think a "safety zone" would have been set up? Bystanders seem a little too close, no?

NOT supposed to be a clock of any kind in baseball. "All in time, but the clock is another demon that devours our time in Eden, in our Paradise."

Getz w/Astrud Gilberto version: *EDIT: Guess they are all the same, enjoy!

Holy crap! Did the camera just catch that backdraft!

"You'll get nothing and like it!" 😆

Not sure how out of Chicago Area people would get this... BUT NBC Sports Chicago is airing: Documentary... "Bear Down and Out: The Chicago Bears move to the suburbs" Building a dome in Arlington Heights, Illinois... The Bears are calling Soldier Field a "dump." Putting a dome on it will be putting a dome a dump. 😆 They don't wanna make the same mistakes they made 20 years rehabbing Soldier Field. As the football business changes, go big or go home the Bears are saying...

And it creates more inequality in society.

A guy at work does it... Disc golf looks interesting, big business too. Got all kinds of equipment. 😆... That's what I thought at first.

Until those PSLs kick in and you're dreaming of "TheDrought." 😉

Funny story old timer at work (2 tour Vietnam Vet) told me about 30 years ago. So this lawn service guy is going around the neighborhood hawking a lawn service... Comes up to my co-worker and says: "Hey your lawn looks stressed, you could use our lawn service." My co-worker responds: "You think my lawn is stressed, you should see how stressed out I am! No thanks, it will be fine." I can't imagine Pandemic/Post Pandemic grass and people now. LoL...

"Me and the league are finished," Toma said. "They can't tell me what to do anymore. We're done." Telling right here. It's freakin' grass... But the scary part is, what's the League telling others to do with bigger issues!

Population is dwindling. Younger generation isn't having children! The business model, Bills last of dinosaurs, wants to be moved from spending the money @ Tops, Wegmans to the League's pocket. Old model... They have to clean up the parking lots. Ever see what the area looks like after a game? You can feed a 3rd World Country on Monday... They are moving away from that. Unfortunately, Bills fans are sweater wearers and cooler draggers...

Well I guess it's better to do that in the suburbs. At least he's got that going for him. Probably worse in the city, potential for more people killed.

😆... Ooops!

Those are its flippers and it's swimming inverted. BUT... What public school science class failed you? Of course mammals have ears! https://www.thoughtco.com/the-main-mammal-characteristics-4086144

November 22, 1981... 13 years old, listening on the stereo/radio in basement: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6XJNNLuwNMw Yeah... But the best part was left on the bed. 😆 🤣 😉 😜

Sorry if I threw shade... Both sides there are drawbacks. I find it disingenuous to say people do this for health. Highly processed foods aren't any healthier. It's just not any healthier and virtuous than other lifestyles. Everything is balance. Just be thankful we live during marvelous times, era where this is possible and we have the technology to accomplish it! We are all equal in what we chose. There's things I agree with, other's I don't. Can we ever eliminate animals serving humans? I tend to think we can't. For me it's about resources and the ease we attain those resources. As the years go on, technology gets better we can do away with some of the abuses. For now... I will strive for halal. 😉

Now those memories come back to haunt me They haunt me like a curse Is a dream a lie if it don't come true Or is it something worse...

I may be repeating myself... But why not! ...It's a long thread...

Gee... A really great time for the brain to cope while flying down the expressway @ 65 mph! I try to limit my dissociative fugues while doing less dangerous things like mowing my lawn or snow blowing... Yet those pesky blades and augers sure can get in the way! 😉
