First, I'd like to thank you for your service. I know you would've made it to the Colonel if you hadn't cracked. And please send my love to ma Henrietta and sister Peg- I truly hope she's finding her way after the accident.

I too find it reassuring to know that I can make back-alley deals to visit an old neighborhood when absolutely zero of my former neighbors would buzz me in. )

I'm definitely coming out there to visit, hopefully sans funeral, then catch a Bills game this year. Sabatelle's Is the place for sandwiches and everything Italian deli... just fantastic. Gerry's Pizza in WB is perfection, and my absolute must have when I go back are hot dogs at Ferris's Barney St. Lunch... frickin greatest thing ever made by humankind.

These particular cousins grew up in Ashley... and I'm Totally nostalgic for that town too! My family moved out West a looong time ago, and unfortunately most of my trips there are for funerals nowadays, but I absolutely love NEPA. Shoot, now I miss the old Ashley coal breaker and climbing all over the old coal cars... (Feel free to ship me out some Sabatelle's, btw. ) Edit: Shoot, that's in Pittston... now I'm nostalgic for when I could remember things

***** I'm the worst. I've got my own nostalgia, then I'm even nostalgic for other people's nostalgia. I can't help but miss the good old days of my grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles and whatnot going back into the 20's ,30's, 40's... and I wasn't even anywhere close to existing! I'm nostalgic for smells... 1920's San Francisco apartment building elevators. That old candy and beer shop near my cousins' house in NEPA... it's been gone for 35 years, but I can still smell every inch of it. Old cars- that's all I'll ever own. They can pry that stick shift from my cold, dead hand. But the people, so many great old characters. You can't take them away, but I can never replace them. Agree with the AI comment above. Screw the tech idiots, they have no concept of soul.

Of course... and the turds live on forever

They had 2 hits?? so

I'll keep insisting this is great:

I miss that part of life. I'm about the worst capitalist on this planet- but I still want an e-type Jaguar, and *****-yeah Perer Gunn and this is just great-

The Nuge!!! I think we need a 'centrist' party in this country, a third party if you will. Not a far left party, not a far-right party, just a damn party looking out to make the middle-class the most important part of American aspirations.

Well, I'd say that you referring to the United States' obvious enemies as, 'they' is a decent start. If we have to start at, 'which countries are out to challenge our democracy', so be it.

Oh Jeebus. Trump sucked their twigs while they sharpened their fangs. Stop being a rube- you seem way too smart for that.

That's funny because I just watched Western firepower absolutely decimate everything the Iranians, who are supplying Putin, flung at Israel. The US military was a part of that... and even Jordan and Saudi Arabia. I'd have to imagine 'weak old Biden' signed off on that resounding success, no? So with whom is the US weak nowadays- Russia and China, and exactly how in your estimation? Maybe we'd be stronger if we cow-towed to the next Kim Jung *****? Deeldo... thank you autocorrect...

Mostly sorta back on topic... thinking about Dark Side made me wonder about common sounds/feels between some Floyd albums over about a 6 or so year span. One of These Days has a similar feel to other albums, so I was checking out which albums Alan Parsons Produced. Turns out he Produced exactly zero Pink Floyd albums. Well, now you know. I liked this article- a bit of stuff I've always wondered about, and a bit of stuff I never knew about https://longreads.com/2020/09/03/shelved-pink-floyds-household-objects/

Bad car! My brother bought his off some German tourists who got it to road trip across the US- I think they were fellow skydivers he met at his drop zone (my bro's a nut haha) I was 16 at the time and he was going to just give me the car, but my folks wouldn't let me have it! %#***%ng Ralph Nader SuperCool cars! Shoot- now I'm thinking I want to get one. hmmm

My older brother took me on a ride down Pacific Coast Highway in his '63 Corvair convertible and bought me The Doors as my first CD- I'd gotten a Sharp CD boombox a day or two before- that thing was a tank... and many thanks to my brother- great day! On Floyd, I'm more of a Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict fan, myself. )

I think we're basically saying the same thing. I finished with saying I'd like to see him going after the more solid picks over chasing the windmills. One thing, which I think gets overlooked in scouting when compared to 'potential' and 'athletic talent' is spatial awareness. There's no measure, but it can be spotted, and those are the players who'll be in the league for a long time. And put an emphasis on those who expect to win.

I'm more a fan of the emotional side of football, but I get the way Beane played GM on this one. All of it was a gamble because we could have had JJ, but getting a proven NFL stud on a career-prime deal, helping your young QB with a known quantity, and only dropping 20 or so spots years later to do it is icy-smart. It won't always work, and we have zero SB appearances to show for it, but it's still good math. Whatever he does with the draft, etc., I really want to see an emphasis on spatial awareness and longevity- I'm kinda tired of the lotto tickets.

I don't trust Mark Zuckerberg, and commerce in general, to not completely screw this up (and copyright the screwed up experience), but one of these days there's going to be a Woodstock Experience Simulator.

Being a fan of subtlety, the dancing sprite at the :58 - 1:04 mark is a huge highlight- I can see how that would excite the bladder.
