Don’t forget “space and stuff”.

I meant the one that could actually tell time.

But first, I think Big Ben would look nice somewhere in the Midwest.

That’s exactly who I was trying to think of. Another set of eyes to catch shady stuff seems like it wouldn’t be a bad thing.

He should have had that thing immunized.

I hope the NBA can wait.

We had friends with one in Sarasota. Smart dog, and they were lucky to be on a big lot.

May I add, a man of presumably lesser character as he trotted in gloating for the crowd waiving the ball around for the swatting. Don was doing his job.

She is my 8th (EIGHTH!) Golden, and the first one I think would take the short bus to obedience class. The first 7 would learn pretty quickly what gets you a head swat! She’s going to make up for it with sweetness, like a child with a disability. I’m confident of that. She’s just a slow learner. Excuse me…..I have to go say another prayer now.

So, you’ve already decided? I was going to wait and watch some football games before doing that. I’m on record as having expected way more from Davis last year, and I was wrong. I saw Diggs look like he was hurt or he quit mid season, and having to wonder which it was bothers me. I want guys who try and can catch. Maybe we have that, if not an elite WR. Unless we surprise this year with the WR’s, I expect it to be a high priority again next year. But I’ll wait and see what happens.

I’m not the argumentative type, but I was just looking at a pic of Don Beebe swatting the ball out of Leon Lett’s hand near the goal line. The House of Speed was the endeavor of a fine man, I do believe. Sorry, I had to do it. That was and remains a moving moment for me and one of the best examples of character I’ve ever seen.

I love MY dogs more than MOST people, except for the puppy who at this point should be well beyond eating me bedroom carpet. Yet here I am. 🤷‍♂️ .

I wonder if the other Chiefs criminals make fun of him because it’s only misdemeanors?

A memorable English class from Casey Middle School included this on the board: Let’s eat, Steve. Let’s eat Steve. Lesson learned. Is that……….turtle porn?

To how many people does it occur that Peter Pan just may have gone to Lancaster High? This place has scarred me.

Exactly. That’s the problem with everything that happens prior to real football games being played. If you hear in camp the defense is ahead of the offense, the offense sucks. If Elam can shut down our top draft pick, we lost the draft. All this stuff goes back and forth, but wouldn’t it be great if Elam has figured out how to use his physical tools in our defense? That would be like found money to some degree.

The Battery where the Braves play in Atlanta is an awesome place and worth visiting for anyone coming to town. They have hotels, restaurants, bars, “adult arcades”, movie and live event theaters, apartments, office building, you name it. It’s very conveniently located where I-75 and the beltline around the city meet, so it’s pretty easy in and easy out. It’s defiantly a serious destination and I have to be careful not to just drop by for lunch if the Braves are at home that day.

So, that averages about a Billion per streaming service. I don’t mind them making money, but I DO mind them making it a PITA to follow my team.

He’s no Waldo in the crowd! The guy was easy to spot! I was listening to Dan Patrick and others talk about him. Apparently he was really about 7’2”, but he thought 7 footers were looked at like freaks so he always put himself down as 6’11”.

Chocolate.

He’s in his mid/late 50’s and has tried everything. He doesn’t really even want to eat eggs outright, but it’s all the foods that they are hidden in. He was staying with us once while attending a function in town. Dessert contained some kind of pudding he was suspicious of, so he took a little taste and waited. His tongue will tell him quickly if it’s dangerous to him, but it seemed fine. What he didn’t know was the little bits of marshmallows hidden inside would be his downfall. He drove over medians to get liquid Benadryl at a drug store, and by the time he got back to the house he was crawling, in a suit, along side our driveway between us and the neighbors vomiting EVERYTHING out. I’m sure “egg allergy” was not the first thought my neighbors had. .

I have a friend who is allergic to eggs. They are hiding everywhere! Another friend got bit by a tick as an adult, and not he can die if he eats red meat. He carries an epipen with him everywhere. My son’s middle school had picnic tables where nobody was ever allowed to enjoy a peanut due to some kids having nut allergies. Where did all this stuff come from? I don’t remember any of that growing up.

Heaven must be a very cool place right now with Bill Walton and Jerry Garcia getting reacquainted.

For the younger crowd who may not remember him because his NBA career was setback by injury. He was a true great, a technician around the glass. “Look back at the best NBA moments from Bill Walton's Hall of Fame career. His most famous game was the 1973 NCAA title game, UCLAagainst Memphis, in which he shot an incredible 21 for 22 from the field and led the Bruins to another national championship.” He made 21 of 22 in the NCAA Title game, and not because he was Shaq and trampled you. Classic Bill Walton: The great former UCLA basketball coach John Wooden tells a story about his all-American player, Bill Walton. Bill grew a beard, knowing that facial hair was against team rules. He said it was his right. "You believe that strongly?" Wooden asked. "Yes, Coach." Walton said. "Bill, I respect people who stand up for what they believe,” Wooden replied, “and the team is going to miss you." That afternoon Bill Walton shaved his beard.

He was so full of life, and always entertaining. RIP P.S. - And he was The Master of using the glass, a lost art. .
