  2. The greed of the NFL grows by bounds and bounds! International games - sure why not? Thursday night after a Sunday - only the players get hurt. Expansion teams - sure - the player talent pool is getting thinner and thinner. PSL - Always thought a rip-off Peacock - Just a camel's nose under the tent. Leaving scheduled games wide open at season's end. - the fans will show up anyway. Not enough money to get full time officials - poppycock! The NFL only understands $$ - the fans be damned. I gave up on the day Atlanta/New Orleans non-interference happened. (To decide who goes to the SB?)
  3. I am turning "Old" soon and have lived a major chunk of my life (minus 15 years in SOCAL) in upstate New York. The current winters have been nothing like what the younger me lived through. Of course "climate change" is the current "casus belli" but the window of observation is too short. So, yes - Buffalo will become the Miami of the North, the Great Lakes will not freeze over anymore and the occasional blizzard will be the result. We are ready and have plenty of water on hand. I never took up skiing
  4. And forever on the verge of losing Jacksonville.
  5. If you go to the Bills mecca at Santa Monica (Busby's) - the first thing they do is throw Bon Jovi CD's in the urinal. I cannot comment on what happens in the ladies room? Is that allowed in California anymore?
  6. In a movie full of "insert character here" she was a winner. Almost made me want to go pro (Putt-Putt) https://nypost.com/2024/01/06/news/caddyshack-tron-star-cindy-morgan-dead-at-69/
  7. My wife and I saw the Brothers live once in Laughlin, Nevada. We were in the second row. My wife always tries to shut me up but Tommy gave as good as he got. Yo-Yo man was amazing. Dick just sat back and played straight man. No big production number or effects - just two brothers having fun on stage.
  8. The housing market here is just fine and affordable. Interest rates need (and will) descend again. Yes, the housing stock is older but if you are at all handy - bargains galore and not in some of the lesser neighborhoods. We bought our first house in Eggertsville in 1975 - $45K. Sold it 12 years later for $56K - put a fair amount of work into. 10 years (2007) sold for for $180K. Something happened because it just sold for $45K last year - it was gutted and flipped and is now listed for $250K - which is slightly high end for that neighborhood. Most of the neighborhood goes $200-$220K. This is old Amherst but close to UB. I will always praise Amherst - the garbage was picked up on time, the streets were plowed in the morning and the Police showed up if you called. No comparison to other national areas. And forget snow (unless you insist on Orchard Park). We just had our 2nd snow of the season last night of 3". My plow jockey just showed with an electric broom
  9. Just as the NFL tries to fend off San Antonio (See Jerry J) - no way they allow another Florida team - Mexico City and London are the way to go!
  10. Ground nests are easily taken care of by inserting dry ice
  11. I made up an album of really over the years pictures with some HOF posters. You are not going to believe this - but a 6 AM - my battery went "Poof" - little cloud of smoke and everything. Fire extinguisher within an arm's reach. The idiot light had kept telling me something all week about "conserving" battery power. By the time AAA showed up - too late to head south. The nice tech "Steve:" said I was close to an eruption - one dead cell and Sulphur gas leaking. I never open the hood - I drive to the dealer and let them do it. Ford Explorer - 6 years old - 48000 miles - kept in a garage - I guess the battery had to speak up. Had to redo the front brakes too - once. Maintain your vehicles - I love FORD although their Stock sucks Next attempt - October 1st.

  14. My bachelor party (45 years ago) was at the local dive bar. Flew out that night (Friday) - married Saturday in Queens criminal court by the judge (think Harry Stone) - reception at her mothers house. Left for the Poconos that night. Pretty simple
  15. The Bills fatal flaw will be McDermott - he doesn't have the "right" stuff What was that time out for?
  16. Me please - prime early out - the $60 comes with a detail job

  18. Dave Anacone was a well known touring and studio drummer. The following excerpt is from http://home.digitalcity.com/buffalo/...nn/v-107566977 "Free Beer Tomorrow" reads a well polished brass sign behind the bar. That may keep the Homer Simpsons of this town coming back, but others are drawn by more realistic charms. Anacone's (rhymes with "condones") has been in the same spot on the Bailey strip since 1967, when Dave Anacone's bar thrived on clientele from Harrison Radiator and other neighborhood companies. Relic of that era, a yellowed placard offering the workingman's special: a draft of Genny and a shot of Grande Canadian. The nearest big employer now is the University at Buffalo's South Campus, whose med school and architecture students, not to mention undergrads who shirk the Greekish University Heights scene, call this their hangout of choice. After growing up in the apartment above the bar, Mark Anacone took over the business from his father, whose beside burned face looks out from behind the bar and a drum kit in a couple of prominently displayed photos. Look closely and you'll find a crayon drawing of him, too, which years of tobacco smoke have made look like a Clifford Still painting from the Albright Knox. Every once in a while Dave Anacone and the Bebop All Stars get booked to play a smoking set of traditional jazz in the back room. Occasionally, so does another band (The Red Gills are frequently that band, but there are others); otherwise, you can appreciate an abundance of tables, cheap pool, and a well stocked but not-too-loud jukebox. Open every day from 11-4, Anacone's serves beef on weck and some other sandwich favorites. Drinks are reasonably priced, making this a great option for a drink with friends, today or, for free beer, tomorrow. --Stephen Gingerich We spent many a night there playing pool on the short wall. Met my wife there. SPIN THE WHEEL!
  19. There were many unresolved arguments about a 5th face on Rushmore. There was a strong suffragette movement to add Susan B. Anthony. In March, 1941, as a final dedication was being planned, Gutzon Borglum died. This fact, along with the impending American involvement in World War II, led to the end of the work on the mountain. The sculpture at Mount Rushmore is built on land that was illegally taken from the Sioux Nation in the 1870s. The Sioux continue to demand return of the land, and in 1980 the US Supreme Court ruled in United States v. Sioux Nation of Indians that the Black Hills were stolen and awarded $102 million in compensation. The Sioux have refused the money and demanded return of the land. This conflict continues into the present day
  20. “Jedi do not fight for peace. That's only a slogan, and is as misleading as slogans always are. Jedi fight for civilization, because only civilization creates peace. We fight for justice because justice is the fundamental bedrock of civilization: an unjust civilization is built upon sand. Mace Windu
