First car > 1969 Beetle (GREEN) ...I could fit ALL of my college stuff in it...Even the stereo with the monster speakers...Now when I take my dau's to college we have to rent the BIG van from U-Haul...Dwight Eisenhower invaded the Normandy beaches with less stuff than the kids take to college nowadays..< but I digress > Second car 1976 Firebird....pretty good car until all the rust nuked it...

"Melo was just interviewed on SportsCenter and commented that the Argentinian players were playing rough to "Get in our Heads" Given that Melo had to be restrained by 4 teammates at one point, I guess they succeeded.

Big Cat ? How could you play water polo...I thought cats did not like water ?

Set the TIVO.... What is the size of this upset IF it were to occur ?

Congrats to the women's soccer team and their victory over Brazil 1--0 and they did this without Abby Wambaugh. The US women have now won 3 out of the last 4 Olympic titles.

My favorite player >>> Pat White QB,,,,WVU WVU is going to throw more this season...

Thanks Buckeyemike...

They have fallen faster downhill than Jean Claude Killey Chris Henry...< shaking my head here >

Happy Birthday CL...

Nov 7... Charleston Civic Center !!! Last year TSO by-passed WV...so we saw Blue Man Group instead. When, oh when is Night Castles to be released ??

Lew's crew will number 4. Me, Mrs. Lew, eldest dau and her hubby... His FIRST ever NFL game...

Just one for GENERAL.... Thanks in advance

Those plants are shut down or at very limited capacity. So, come on back, the air is pretty clear... except for the hot air from all the politicians.

My Olympic watching will be very minimal... limited interest this year

That is a great question...Great issue to speculate about...

Thanks for the link... One of the Q & A's answered one of my questions. I have XM and would like to add the NFL feed...

Parkersburg supports its HS teams in ALL sports..Not just football and hoops. Attendance at all games is very high. And they travel well also. My kids went to a school in the southern part of WV and when 'we' hosted either the Big Reds or the Patriots of Parkersburg South, the crowd from the visitors matched or sometimes exceeded that of the home school. I'd like to see Parkersburg win this contest, but am realistic enough to know that some large city will win..

Add 4 more to the tailgate event. Me, Mrs. Lew, dau and new Son In law. Tickets came in the mail yesterday < thanks Hammer > It will be the SIL's FIRST NFL game so hopefully the Bills will run all over the Seahawks..

If I would find a snake in the washer, I'd have to do another wash load (after someone else extracted said snake) because the tidey whities would be severely discolored. Damn I hate snakes

Well done, EZC. Thanks. Seeing the aerial pic of War Memorial was great

10 AM is the earliest time IMHO...

Iwas in the Charlotte / Cornelius area this weekend and took my daughter shopping at Harris Teeter. Holy Cow...The prices were out of sight. Now I know why they generally go to Food Lion. And It would be worth the price of gas to go to the WalMart a couple miles north of Cornelius. Yeah, the shrinkage issue at the grocery store sucks....Just wait until beer cans are 10 ounces, not 12...

those HAVE to be their pajamas
