When you eliminate welfare, you will have to increase the cops or military to maintain order. After years of people being taken care of, people think it is their right. UBI is just welfare x100. And that is assuming you can get anyone who is willing to be a cop or go into the millitary to do that. See Baltimore. Welfare should never have been for life. It should have been a safety net for those who ran into a bad luck streak.

I just saw the Electric Strawbs in Homer, NY. Looked over the set list just to see what they might play. They don't play the same thing every night but have 3 or 4 songs they might substitute. So I don't think it matters. It does prevent the "Garden Party" syndrome. I was tempted to see them in Rochester two days before the Homer date. It would be interesting to see if there was a difference on performances this close together. I know a couple of guys at the Homer show also saw them in Rochester. In some cases, if you like them, you have to see them while they are still here. They could play three straight night, 15 songs a night and not run out of decent material. BTW, the Homer location is a very good venue for bands. I am going to have to check out the artists coming there in the future.

I feel pretty good about a loss. They really played like crap that first half. Unforced turnovers and terrible shooting. Don't know what was with all those traveling turnovers. Some, where they were not even pressed. They sure are able to run into guys that are hot on shooting three's. It was good experience for early in the year.

So if it was the other way around, guess who pays the bill at the end of the day. The same people. The only difference in either situation when it comes to financial issues is who is doing the charging and how much.

I wonder what this board would be saying if Taylor wasn't benched and ended up injured, and they had to give him the big contract. Everyone would be bitching, because the bench game was a meaningless game.

I was looking for something to watch that I wouldn't get too involved with and came across a show called Comrade Detective. It is Romanian from the early 80's before the fall of communism. I find it very amusing. I never realized how bad us capitalists were. If you decide to try it, watch at least the first two episodes. In the second episode you find out that Monopoly was used to brain wash children into the capitalist system.

Attached is a link about the domesticaion of foxes. Shows that you can get tame foxes that behave like dogs in as little as 10 years. I believe I saw the entire show on this years ago on the Discovery channel. Selecting for tameness also causes the variety in color.

I don't know how flexible your work day is but I used to arrange my work day so I did the work I liked the least in the morning when I was fresh. When I wasn't as fresh in the afternoon, I worked on what I enjoyed most. This kept my concentration up and seemed to make the day go faster.

Obviously the result of Global Warming.

Ringing, phase 1

I fly into a city and rent a car. Within an hour I stop at a store to get something. When I come out I didn't pay attention to where I parked or the type of car I was driving. This is before KEYFOB's. So you start walking looking at license plates.

Does he make Tom Coughlin go to dinner now?

Started watching Humans last night. Had to do 5 episodes, just couldn't stop. If you like Westworld I have to believe you will like this. I actually think the plot is a bit better for Humans.

Early in the year that Harris was drafted, I read a sports magazine that had OJ and Harris as future stars of the game that would lead Buffalo out of the depression they were in. That could have been the greatest depression ever, although there are a fair number of contenders. So I watched Harris's progress closely. He probably had the greatest arm of any Bills QB. They had a drill where the QB had to throw the ball through a swinging tire. Harris hardly ever missed. He was also plenty tall enough to see over the line. That was the good. During his first training camp, he missed a lot of time. It was reported as a "stomach issue." It certainly did not help his progress. He also didn't have much of a touch on short passes. He seemed to throw a 10 yard pass with the same velocity as a 40 yard pass. A lot of short passes were just too hot to catch. And remember Rauch's idea of using OJ was to free him up using short passes. I was always disappointed he didn't start more often but it is not like he was playing so well they had to play him. I don't buy into the black versus white issue. The team/coaching really sucked back then. A familiar theme over the years. I have to admit, when EJ stood in the pocket, it reminded me of Harris but EJ never had Harris's accuracy. I was also a fan of Fergy. He was a much better passer than many give him credit for. So I have never bought into a QB since Harris. I never believe the hype. Not even Jim Kelly before he played here. I always take the wait and see attitude. Anyone may be the savior. Anyone may not be. The reality is, a QB will not be deemed the answer until he is, and that is solely based on winning. And even then there will always be those that will believe he isn't.

Thanks for the link. Any link that has the slightest bit on info on the mid-60's Bills is always appreciated.

Why do you wonder why this tosses the season and not that it might save it? Either would fit at this point.

I was about to post Hackman as I will always watch any movie he has been in. If you haven't seen it, watch "The Package." Obvious parallels to real life. Denzel has a long list a great performances.

After I posted I did a seach to make sure I had Gantt's name spelled correctly. Came upon this interesting link. I appears Wooden was also concerned. http://thebonablog.com/2016/06/12/kalbaugh-still-pained-by-end-of-1970-season/

I still believe if Lanier didn't get hurt, the Bonnies take the title. Gantt was on fire even without Lanier.

The !@#$%^& ringing in my ears. Seems to be getting a lot louder lately.

The original Fleetwood Mac with Peter Green.

The Falls is downriver from all Mighty Taco's.

This does not guarantee success. Wilson tried with Donnahoe. The Chargers tried with Beathard, and the list goes on and on. The two mentioned were to the the smartest (supposedly}, at the time.

Augie, what issue are you having? My son has an iphone 6 and when he calls someone, he doesn't always hear them when they answer. This is difficult to diagnose because he just got back to the USA after 3 years and he is using a new carrier but he thinks it is the phone.

Surprised it did this with no rust. Upstate cars with a few years on them are usually rusty in this area.
