    I do like classic car shows and museums.  The Pierce-Arrow museum in Buffalo wasn't bad.  The Cleveland History Center has a whole nice big section of vintage cars from the early 1900s in their basement.  

     

    I love to drive as well.  Sometimes even driving to get my food shopping done in Philly which is an hour ride from me.  Changes of scenery/driving are nice, especially when there's not as many people on the road.  

    Self driving vehicles will be the bane of my existence ... I can see the utility for me on a drive to Florida or something of that nature, but otherwise? NO WAY!

    Anyone else notice when they sit down to hand write a few notes, that they can type for hours without a problem, but 5 minutes into a note and your hand feels like it's about to fall off?

     

    #truth ... I have absolutely NO idea how I was able to handwrite papers in high school

    Is WKBW in trouble? I know they are probably 3rd in ratings but I haven't heard that.

    Joe B is leaving because the constraints of a broadcast sportscast doesn't give him the opportunity to play to his strengths, namely detailed, long form reporting.  Also, The Athletic is throwing some good coin around and TV salaries aren't what they used to be in the days of Irv, Rick & Tom (I am in the business, FYI)

    I prefer Bove anyway..Long,tall Joe is hardly on and he's clueless about the Sabres.With that being said..those sports segments are getting shorter and shorter.

    Josh Reed (4) is my favorite out of all the locals.

    Bove is a genuinely good guy, is ambitious, and works hard ... partied with Reed in Lauderdale at last seasons Miami game: also a great guy

    I offering this one from a friend: At supermarkets where they have self check-out you can purchase, oh say, Honeycrisp apples at a deep discount by typing in the code for a much cheaper variety, like McIntosh.

    wouldn't that also be known as "theft"?  Asking for a friend ....

    Charity Walk-a-thons, 5Ks, etc, don't really do anything. The entry fee may be going towards a noble cause, but you can donate money and have it be the end. The event itself is simply a way for you to show off how charitable you are. 

    But there's a "free" tshirt and beer at the finish line!

    Agreed. An even more controversial opinion I hold, military service, even combat service, doesn't automatically make you a hero. Not saying the military never does anything heroic, but just being in the military shouldn't automatically gain you hero status. Our nation, especially after 9/11, has had a problem with military hero worship. 

     

    Don't get me wrong, I don't think we should go back to the days of Vietnam where people spit on soldiers and called them baby killers. But I think in an effort to right that wrong, we drove into the other ditch.

    Truth.  Someone made the point earlier that most of these "heroes" signed up because they had no other prospects.  They did their time, moved cars around in the motor pool for a couple of years and got out.  Additionally, 8 year old girls who start a lemonade stand and give the money to a charity upon their parents urges are NOT heroes.  It's a noble effort, but NOT heroic.
