DC traffic cams are being vandalized
plenzmd1 replied to SlimShady'sSpaceForce's topic in Off the Wall Archives
DC ones are a B word, but as a part-time resident I am torn ..we need the revenue, most of the revenue comes from "out of state" people who use all of our services, but pay nothing for them.DC has to operate like a state, but is in fact only a city..things like a DMV and prison system put a real strain on such a small entity. And DC is barred by Congress from ever invoking a commuter tax. And some of these cameras generate some real cash,,two biggest ones are this one in KSt Tunnel and the one on 295..that one is a real B word at 55. https://wtop.com/dc/2017/09/lawmaker-looks-dc-speed-cameras-rake-big-bucks/ Always amazes me when I get in an Uber/Lyft in the District and have to tell them where the red light and speed cameras are..there is a freaking list, and if I was driving UBER I would absolutely know where every single one was located. https://mpdc.dc.gov/sites/default/files/dc/sites/mpdc/publication/attachments/MPD ATEU Active Locations 03.29.2018.pdf Wife and I have asked each other more than once how many marriages may have been wrecked by these things.Man tells his wife"i am working late at office in Tyson's" and gets a speeding ticket at 9 PM in the District. -
common had this whole game pretty well nailed..count me VERY impressed. And Doc just burying the dagger ever deeper into the Leafs. Love that guy. BTW, as much as I hate the Leafs, the fact they had to play the Bruins in the first round is a complete joke. And the Leafs and Sabres still tied for series win since 2007

that 5th goal..not good. Go Bolts!!!
-
watching both games , will post thoughts in a bit (edit)I thought the over was done at end of first.but no way was I gonna jinx it for Commonsense. Not a good call on his part..A FRIGGEN GREAT CALL! The bet done 3 minutes into the 2nd...that is freaking impressive!
-
that's interesting..close to $40M dead and still with some sizable room. But if we keep all our picks, some of that gets eaten into a bit I am guessing. I like what Beane is doing, think it will take another year or two to truly come to fruition, but I believe he is setting this team up for long term success with modern views on the economics of the draft and what positions to draft vs pay in FA.
-
so looks like 6 goals or more have been scored in 17 of 53 game 7's since 2006. Not sure if that is relevant or not, I am not sure to look up how many hit the over at say 5..but just some food for thought
-
I just do not bet hockey, but dang..Bovada has 71 bets you can make on this game! they have the over 5 1/2..seems high for a game 7, but that is just based on gut feeling. Wonder what the research shows on totals in game 7's.

I am with PTR..its a yes to both.

That is a sad tragic story. Think is going to be more coming out that the husband knew what wife was planning, but did not believe her. Hell hath no fury as they say
-
The real refrain is lets go Bolts..no good outcome to the game tonight..Bolts need to beat whoever wins that series
-
First time since football season bring the second TV down . Leafs and Raptors at the same time, that sucks for Toronto fans. Plus we have the Cav-Pacers on at the same time...hmm, might have to become my own sports bar and get a 3rd tv going tonight

CFNY...that was it. I knew when I posted this was a Candian station I used to listen to whilst home for the summers..that was it! Thank you I lived in the Falls then, so easy to get the signal. !I don't remember those Buffalo stations you listed..getting old sucks! -

Just watched a great documentary on Showtime.."New Wave..Dare to Different" about WLIR and the New Wave/Punk/Alternative music in the early 80's and the effect this station had on music in the US. Thought it was very good, and for people of my age(55) will bring back a ton of memories. I don't remember a Buffalo station playing these songs..maybe someone here can help me out. I distinctly remember seeing the Police at Uncle Sams or Stage One in high school, so before 1981, so some station must have been playing this music. -
Not for me!!! Enjoy all.

Sabres & NHL 2017-18 - Entry Draft on June 22

Niagara Falls- Prefer American or Canadian side?
plenzmd1 replied to Another Fan's topic in Off the Wall Archives
It is hard to see what has happened to the Falls..Dads family goes back to the late 1800's there, Mom's family early 20th century. Dad and Mom lived there their entire life until we moved due to Love Canal. Dad owned a car dealership, my Mom was very active in the arts and civil projects..President of the Niagara Council of the Arts for a decade or so. I know it seems hard to believe now, but late 70's early 80's the Falls nightlife was great. 18 to drink in US, Canada was 19, Candian was 30% or so discount to US, but taken at par in the bars. We would switch our money all the time before going out. Candian girls were fun!!! Hard to see what it has become, but seems to me some small, and I mean very small, signs of times getting better. to the OP, I think both sides for pictures own their own attractiveness.Canada more panoramic and grand, American side more intimate. -
Sabres & NHL 2017-18 - Entry Draft on June 22

I cant either. I was in town for a wedding on the Saturday of Game 4 so went to game 3, which was also an awesome game. Will never forget the wedding..was at the GI Holiday Inn when that joint was still nice. Girl from Niagara Falls, hubby from Boston. So pretty much a 50/50 split of guests. All the young guys were in the bar watching the game instead of being in the ballroom dancing and partying, and then even the older guys starting coming in..so somehow she got them to set up a TV in the ballroom for period 3 and overtime. Nothing sweeter than watching than watching that game with a bunch of Boston fans!!!! -
Sammy Watwins to KC on a 3 Year Deal
plenzmd1 replied to *******'s topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Where did they send him ..scitts creek without a paddle with Sammy as their #1? I kid, I kid,, I think Sammy is going to struggle to justify $16M per , but be a solid 80 catch, 1100 yd receiver. -
Keep our picks, draft Kyle Lauletta?
plenzmd1 replied to Gavin in Va Beach's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Okay, another article toutin the Richmond boy. Maybe we should just draft him and keep all our picks. Now, everyone get ready for @26CornerBlitz head to explode! https://www.theringer.com/nfl/2018/4/24/17274266/kyle-lauletta-richmond-fcs-draft-quarterback -
I am going to take some liberty here and nominate a cast instead of a character..and that's the cast from Community. I loved that show, felt it never really got it's just due as a great great show. And man, looking on that cast now...John Oliver, Ken Jeung, Donald Glover, McHale, AlisonBrie, Chevy Chase, Jim Rash, Gillian Jacobs...And Dan Harmon is just out there.
