Questioning saintlike and fantastic heroes Feeling like lost little children in fabled lands So I listen for each and every friendship In this Real Cool World

It would, but accuracy is the problem. If I were to do it, I would have receivers embedded in the field every square foot. Going off the field size of 360’ by 160’, that would be 576 receivers. Now there’s also the signal strength of the chip. Receiver field can be adjusted to pick it up further away, like when the ball if being thrown, but that could also throw off your accuracy because a lot more receivers would be picking up the chip signal. I’d want to keep it down to where only 10-20 receivers at a time are picking up the signal, so processing of location is faster. In this setup, I can see getting the accuracy down to less than a foot, maybe 6 inches. But when it comes down to a 1st down line or goal line being crossed, I would trust video more. I just don’t see 30 stadiums ripping up their turf to install receivers until it’s proven how accurate it can be.

I work with locating and tracking systems every day. The chip worries me, because I know how accurate people think they can be. There's a huge amount of infrastructure that goes into setting up a system. If they use it as a part of determining where the ball is, in addition to camera view, then it may be okay. But if they think it will be the only deciding factor all the time, there's going to be a lot of pissed off people.

I guess some people are living in the future with their recording devices. Next thing you know, they'll be bragging about having email and AOL Instant Messenger accounts.

Yes, the Syracuse Mets (Internation League Baseball) had an undefeated season in 2020. I bought a shirt to remember the amazing season. Syracuse Mets undefeated 2020 IL champs? They wear it well - syracuse.com

Trudging slowly over wet sand Back to the bench where your clothes were stolen This is the coastal town That they forgot to close down Armageddon, come Armageddon! Come, Armageddon! Come! Everyday is like Sunday Everyday is silent and grey

Pull that BetaMax out of storage and get it ready. Bills vs Oilers Greatest Comeback will be on NFL Network, 12 Midnight (EDT), this Sunday night/Monday morning.

The color of the sky as far as I can see is coal grey. Lift my head from the pillow and then fall again. With a shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather. A quiver in my lips as if I might cry.

Watched The Bubble on Netflix tonight. It's a comedy about a group of actors forced to make a movie while living in a hotel during the pandemic. My wife summed it up pretty good with "It's not a great movie, but it's not a bad movie either. It's just two hours of my life I won't get back." So if you're just looking for something to watch, check it out.

None, I kept it in my pants.

Buffalo to LA to Sydney - I forgot how long of a flight it was overall though. Longest direct flight was 20 hours, JFK to Beijing. 6 hours on the tarmac while they fixed the plane twice, then had to restock food and drinks before the 14 hours in the air.

The government is catering to cyclists.... Colorado cyclist can roll through stop signs, red lights thanks to this newly passed bill (denverpost.com)

Is Hawaii not a state? Why list it separately?

That's my worry too. Sure I can buy crypto, but when I want to sell it, how can I get my money out?

We're doing about one each month this summer... April (actually this weekend) - Airborne Toxic Event in Buffalo (rescheduled from 2020) May - Tim McGraw in Syracuse June - Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats at Beak & Skiff July - Barenaked Ladies in Cleveland August - Not sure but I know I'll see at least one concert at the New York State Fair And back in March we saw Bill Engvall on his final tour.

Have you seen my baby On the avenue? You know she's driving me crazy With the funny things she do I seen her with the milkman Ridin' down the street When you're through with my baby, milkman

I'll try to get it back on topic... The wife and I go 1-3 times a year for a weekend, typically December to see the Christmas sights, and maybe one other time in the year to either see a concert or some of her friends. Even though we've been doing this since we met, almost 8 years ago, we still find things to check out that we have never done before each trip.
