That's okay! NOT a 3-point game and stalls the Capitals at 69 points. It was a gain on the Caps. Only one team B.Jacs and Caps (even Pens/Canes) can have that spot in divison. Just keep on winning in regulation Sabres AND one team when others play Eastern Conference foes!

Best of Arnold Ziffel The pigs in the Bahamas must have learned a thing or two.

Zsa Zsa was hot: The three together... Zsa Zsa, Magda, & Eva:

Good thing it's cold out across the I-90/80 corridor! Thanx Mead for not sending it out in August! ?

Thanx... I didn't know that... I thought they were a little better off.

Sorry... Had to give you a skeptical smilie. I don't have that much "Executive Time" to be Lockmaster. Meh! That's a baby lock... Those old ladies aren't wearing steel toed shoes! Get back on your damn boat before you hurt yourself... Can't you read signs! General public on the lockwall! /smh...

But swines domestic down very fast... Well compared to other animals. Are the Bahamas considered "3rd World?" I have never been there, but thought it was a step above.

Burt Reynolds. @Johnny Hammersticks too! I didn't (actually forgot) know that I grace @The Dean's birthday. Pretty good showing for February 11th! All the beautiful people! Oh... Abe Lincoln I think was 12th...

I am trying to think now... Yep! When I first moved here, that was the first place she looked for in phonebook! LMAO...

Shunting, switching, infrastructure I guess. Then dispatch, central control...

That's cool!!!

Same here... But before plastic grocery bags... It was Wonder Bread bags. Then your feet, socks would have red, blue, and yellow ink on them if bags were inside out. If not inside out, inside the lining of your boats!

Gefilte fish... The only way to celebrate! Mozel tov!

Always the bridesmaid, never the bride! Damn you CC!

Only in your mid-30s... I remember 2005 like it was yesterday. Holy crap, that was 14 years ago. I have been on this board since 2002? Yikes...

Not bad... But not cheap! Pay for convenience I suppose.

They already are. In 2003... They ran the Mel Price Lock near St.Louis from Houston and Washington DC. 2003! That's 16 years ago. But they still need at least one person to run robot, oversee computer and two people crew for safety. So basically 2 boots always on ground. We've been running two person crew for decades. Bottom line... Can't go anymore "skeleton crew" than we do now. Kind of funny, I am not worried. Unlike railroads, there is still a slight human element with locks. That's already us! Same with railroads. They will have to keep one or two pair of boots on ground for safety & security. Again... We have already been there for the past 40 years with security and safety. We actually went from a one person crew to a two person crew 50 years ago. Yep. But they always need security guards. That, security, will be last to be automated, if ever???

Wow... I better shave and get a haircut stat!!!

Yes. Only on Sundays. Wife calls her parents or they call us. Goes back to the long distance days. Cheaper on Sundays. So Sunday morning it is!

How much for that 50¢ worth of a sandwich. Probably could feed a dozen in the parking lot on what it cost. ???

Robots will run the railroads soon. First fully automated RR is now online in Australia: https://www.digitaltrends.com/cool-tech/robot-train-australia/

Watching golf is like watching paint dry for 3 days. Not 3 hours just saying. They are getting their $$$$ other ways. It's more an elite game. Sport of Kings. They can throw the food on the cheap to the Coastal Elites in the gallery. I mean no offense by this.

There you have it. But you probably knew it. I think you answered your own question. The Bills know they can't move to this model with the tailgate scene the way it is. Move away from the old parking, tailgate model... And the numbers warrant it. Right now, the local (heck, not just local) supermarkets are garnering that extra $$$$ people spend. That is, when people get their tailgating provisions for the game. We are sweater wearers and cooler toters in Buffalo. Football DYIers. It's like coolers in a amusement park. Remember the old days, when you could bring anything you wanted in? If they'd allow that now... Go back to having grills, shelters, tables IN the park (not 2,000 feet outside park behind smelly dumpsters) and they'd have to change 20 bucks a cheeseburger. Just imagine if (like we would do @ Crystal Beach when I was a kid) everybody went to their car for lunch @ DisneyWorld, Cedarpoint... Prices would skyrocket... ...On that note, you see it @ ski resorts. They save the prime seating in lodge/chalet for the people buying. The crockpot toters, fondue-ers get relegated to the not so prime parts of the lodge. It's like healthcare (young & healthy kicking in)... LoL... IFF everybody kicks in to "the pool" (starts buying from stadium vendors), prices MAY go down. That's a big may. Depends on what the real numbers are. And I am just a dumbazz liberal economist (oxymoron?) and I figured this out. In Buffalo, it just won't work, the Bills will lose their shirt on us cheap-azz Carhartt (sweaters if you prefer) wearers and cooler toters. Change culture in WNY, you may see the crappy grub stadium vendors sell go down in price. Just like at all the other terrible NFL venues that have the luxury of attempting this pricing model.

That's wrong! Keep it at 9. /smh The other side does the same thing. The GOP Snowflakes are begging The House not to do their job and ivestigate, when they investigated when they were in control. Takes two to tango. End games need to be pushed. The sooner we get a conservative majority in the SCOTUS... The better.

It's because they can game the system. They have weather in their favor. Endless summer. That enables the military complex to locate there, etc... etc... People pour in. Not taxin creates bad incentives. It's like saying in 1935: "Come to Oklahoma, start a farm." Too many people, too much influence on the land. Yet, as a nation we over-value their worth and chronically bail people out. In NOLA people were still living in FEMA Conex Houses for years after! I work for the USACE... We still got people from up north, their duries going unfulfilled why they are still cleaning up after last few year's hurricanes. Don't even get me started on the wars.
