Third grade in parochial school. The nuns lined us up unexpectedly and marched us into church where the priest told the whole school that “the president has been shot”. We said a rosary for him and didn’t find out he had died until we were home and our parents told us.
‘69 to ‘73
Easily a 9.5. Stones, Zeppelin, Allman Brothers, Gaye, early ZZ Top, etc.
Glorious times in music!

This.

He not beholden to the existing, old, corrupt Washington power structure. They fear his actions will loosen their control over the whole federal system and the tax payer funded teat that they have fattened themselves on for years.

James Gang, right after Joe Walsh left, Monroe Civic Center, summer 1972.

A couple of weeks later saw ZZ Top there as they were just starting to "happen". Gibbons was an absolute beast in those days.
Water and sewer combined runs from $65 to $100 here, depending on how much company (kids and grandkids) we have. The split is roughly 40% water and 60% sewer. We're located in a small town in north LA.

re: Your coffee maker

Technivorm Moccamaster with the insulated carafe. Great drip coffee maker. We've had it for several years and no problems. Keeps coffee hot and drinkable for a couple of hours. We also have an Oxo bean grinder that works okay. There are probably better grinders on the market but so far this one does the job.
The season will be determined by how quickly a new offensive line comes together. Nuss running for his life on pass plays will not be fun to watch.
I don't know if it was purposely created to take down DJT or if the left used it after it was released to do so. I think they were opportunistic and used the virus to jump on the Trump administration and saw a way to damage him so badly that the vote stealing would seem plausible.

My biggest concern was the immediate denial that Ivermectin couldn't contain the virus. A low-cost round of Ivermectin would have saved countless lives if used properly. Instead, we got the government funded jab, which cost untold billions that went to drug companies and their paid shills on Capitol Hill.

Anthony Fauci and his CDC cronies should be tried for treason.

PS: Anyone that thinks Biden actually received 81M votes is delusional
My son and daughter-in law are going through this as their 4 yr. old has been diagnosed with autism. It breaks my heart as a grand parent to watch this unfold. Good luck and God bless.

re: Poll: sweet potato or pumpkin

Sweet potato pie is what pumpkin pie hopes to be one day.
Anyone who honestly believes that Biden actually received 81M votes in ‘20 is delusional. The 2020 election was stolen and KH’s vote total on 11/5 makes it painfully obvious.
Always thank them. There’s not enough common courtesy in the world nowadays.
Best offensive lineman available. That being said, if one of the three top receivers fall to 14, I wouldn't be disappointed if that was the pick. Good offensive lineman should be available in later rounds.

re: What Are Your SuperBowl Plans?

The wife and I will be watching by our selves as usual. We'll have a few snacks and a light dinner around halftime and call it a night shortly after the game. We haven't been to a SB party in years and frankly don't miss them.
My wife is handicapped so I speak from years of experience when I say easily half of the handicapped parking spaces are misused. It is worse at grocery stores and big box stores. Nothing more infuriating than seeing a fat lazy a-hole misusing these spaces to save themselves a few feet of walking or pushing a shopping cart.
When are people going to wise up and realize that big corporations don’t give a crap about normal, everyday working customers? Bank with a small regional bank where you can walk in and actually get help with these kind of issues.
Early 60’s when the welfare rolls were expanded to buy Democrat politicians voting.
Made for a sit on your arse, big brother will take care of you slice of population that grew very fast.

Just purchased the Breville mid size toaster oven/air fryer. Came highly recommended and doesn’t disappoint. Got it on Amazon for $80 bucks off. Would recommend over discount store ovens.
