    Jesus, relax. 

    If you're so devout, you would know that a new pope was selected today and he's from Chicago. 

     

    An American pope, from Chicago,  before the Bears have a 4000 yard passer.

    AND a 30 TD passer in a season. 

     

    That's the amazing stat... . EVEN in a +16 game season,  Bears never produced a QB who threw for 30 TDs in a season.

    That was an epic collapse by Cleveland last night. Not just blowing a 7 point lead late but the way they did it, giving up two offensive rebounds off missed free throws and two turnovers, was really extraordinary. 

    Very Billsy thing to do!

     

    Okay... First the Blues doing Bluesy things, NOW Cavsy...

     

    We're NOT alone in this sports hell!

    Been here 20 yrs. Lots of critters have come to the back door to peak in. Never a Woodchuck, until yesterday. Right up to the sliding glass door. Thought he might try to attack himself in the window like the turkeys do. Turkeys spaz, peck the window in rage and ***** all over. 

     

    Little fuzz ball is around today again. He’s too darn cute to shoot, probably go with the release trap. They’re not so cute when they’re in there trying to kill you. 

    Nesting northern cardinals are insane too! Their reflection in glass windows drives them wild.  Very territorial.

    I never “got” this kind of jazz, guess I wasn’t hip enough. But I did wait/serve a dinner for Spyro Gyra though. It was a small to do for their signing with a local record exec in the late ‘70’s. 
     

    …..it didn’t make me any hipper to that scene.

    You don't have the right dynamic for the New Frontier, your dad probably never built a dugout in case The Reds decided to push the button down.  I suggest you move to The City, make up your mind, learn design, & study overseas... That's why you're not mad about Brubeck.  He's an artist, a pioneer, gotta have some music on the New Frontier...

    Yeah, the same way football is the same as baseball just with 2 more players

     

    Never saw an offside in BB.

    How about 5 on 4?

    Throw a BB into the corner and send somebody into the corner to dig it out?

     

    They used to.  Why they call basketball "cagers"... They played in a cage.😏

     

    They even fought too:

    In the early days of baseball, home team fans lined the foul lines to keep the ball fair.  They fought too...

    To each their own.

     

    I can't stand hockey. I quit trying to watch it decades ago.

    The officiating was joke, some of the rules were just stupid, and just the overall construct/behavior.

     

    Hockey is just basketball played on ice horizontally w/a goaltender.  Takes more resources.  Box lax same concept too...

     

    😉😆

    I also want to try to attract orioles this year. 

    Maybe try some flashing around the nuthatch size hole.

     

    Also... Orioles are on the move north now, should be any day now.  Right around May 10th or so they arrive here.

     

    Oranges 🍊,  halves on a spike in a tree... Also, grape 🍇 jelly in little bird feeder cups... That will attract them.

     

    Blue=Breeding

    Red=Wintering

    By far the best version of Wonderwall...

     

    AI Frank Sinatra singing Wonderwall along with AI generated music to fit his style...simply amazing. Couldn't stop listening to it when I first heard it...must have listened to it like 20 times straight on repeat 

     

     

     

     

    At least you have good taste in football teams!😏

    A bunch of my buddies have a band and I used this exact cover to convince them to add this song to their setlist.

    Yeah!  Nice... 👍 Knock it outta the park!

     

    So wild that the song was written for "Animal House"... Because they (producers) wanted to sound like the early 1960s... But didn't want to pay royalties or something like that how the song came to be used in the movie (fictional band Otis Day & The Knights).

     

    Goose does an amazing cover IMO...

     

    Oh... Mellencamp did a cover too.  B-side to "Cherry Bomb."
