SinceThe70s

I remember when rock was young Me and Susie had so much fun Holding hands and skimming stones Had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own

Skiing late spring at Stratton Mountain many years ago and my friend stops at trails edge to relieve himself (what's spring skiing without an extended liquid lunch?) and he calls out "Does a bear sh!t in the woods?" - and then answers: "Nope, they do it right on the trail!"

In secrecy they've infiltrated All of our strongholds Controlling more... year after year So we've let this happen all along Believing what's been said Our leaders cry... we have no one to fear We watch the sun rise, and hope We watch the sun rise, and hope That it won't be our last Before the storm Before the storm Before the storm

So no weaponized poo? Good to know.

So what's the HOV etiquette? I get aggravated when I get behind someone driving the speed limit in the HOV lane. But if I'm doing 70+ I'm not happy with someone riding my bumper. Different set of rules if I'm left lane driving - given open road ahead I'll make way for the driver that wants to drive much faster than me.

@ExWNYer @Gugny @Another Fan Just found out that with the larger bases first base will be 3" closer to home plate. That will translate to more infield hits and fewer double plays.

@Another Fan @Gugny Late to the party but I was the opposite with Franco and Leiter. I never really warmed up to Franco - didn't like having a closer nibbling at the corners trying to get batters to chase. With that said my lasting memory of Franco was Bonds chasing one out of the zone to end a playoff game. I always liked Leiter, he was a battler. The other guy I liked a lot from that time was Rick Reed. For a short period of time he was a very very good starter.

A-billions of birdies squawkin' out loud Talkin' in code to clams in the clouds They send a secret message; they send it by worm So vibratin' spiders will receive the word But that's totally Feather pluckn' insane Ten million monkeys all pick up guitar But nobody taught them how Five thousand fishies rockin' really, really, really hard Nobody taught them how Check out chickie drivin' piggy's little blue car Nobody taught him how

This is 100% juvenile - and not a knock on him or his music - but I'll never get out of my head the time my friend called him John Cougar Menstrual Camp.

I usually post songs/bands that I know and love. Today I came across a song I never heard before from Stephen Stills. Reminds me of Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac.

Going from memory a quote from Ralph's best friend: When the tides of life are against you and the current upsets your boat - don't waste your time on what might have been, just lay on your back and float.

That's the right way to do Alaska imo. I was fortunate to do a week on land and then the week long cruise. It was great, but even two weeks wasn't long enough. Not sure if I'll ever get to Australia but my guess is it would need to be a minimum of two weeks too.

Is it you again outside Just banging on the front door? You say you had enough Now you're comin' back for more But that's alright I said that, "That's alright" I may not want to admit it I'm just a fool for your stockings I believe

Great lists! I've been fortunate enough to check off a number of the things on your travel list - I'd put the Alaska cruise at the top. No check marks for your sports list - Kentucky Derby and SEC football game are great ones - for the SEC game I'd go with the Florida/Georgia Outdoor Cocktail Party. Ironically I strongly considered the NCAA lacrosse final four last year. Ironic because before last year I had never watched a lacrosse game at any level - but my eldest goes to UMD and the final four wasn't far from home. "Enjoy every day as if it is my last" - can't think of any better words to live by.

There's no point in asking, you'll get no reply Oh just remember I don't decide I got no reason it's all too much You'll always find us Out to lunch Oh we're so pretty Oh so pretty We're vacant

...unknown to me

Heavyweight contender Gerry Cooney grew up a couple of blocks from me but he's a few years older. I can remember him visiting the high school leading up to one of his title fights. And I was in the same college graduation class as NHL Hall of Famer Adam Oates. A few other players had lesser success in the NHL including Sabres goalie Darren Puppa. I remember crossing paths with him once in an administration building and overheard someone tell him to make sure to let them know if he needed anything. Not sure why, but I didn't get a similar offer from the staff.

My only beef was he had a tendency to beat a dead horse. In the 8th inning he'd still be harping on something from the 2nd inning. And it was worse when I didn't agree with what he was harping on. But overall he was outstanding, I'd probably rank him as the best baseball analyst I ever heard.

Office Space?

Domestic travel: Monumental Valley and Antelope Canyon - had a great trip planned including stops at both that got scuttled by Covid and that's gonna bug me until I get there. A bonus would be a side trip to The Wave, but that's unlikely. Overseas travel: Australia and Spain Sports: Army-Navy football game

Porcupine Tree and Robert Fripp is probably not everyone's cuppa tea 😀 ! Works for me, maybe others.

She gonna look pretty smart if he's leaving? Don't know her but my guess is it's a wash either way.
