I think it was obvious to everyone but the Cavs coach that Harden was being picked on defensively for quite some time, and the reason they were losing it, and they did nothing to change that. All they had to do was take him out of the game with like 2-3 minutes left and they win the game probably. They were still up 8 with 3 minutes left despite the 18-4 run the Knicks were on at that time.

Go to a hocky game in Canada and get back to me. You'll have dipshits booing the US national anthem.
Canadians have been politely protesting with their wallets for quite some time now not buying American made products, especially with bourbon and beer.

There's a ton of TDS in Canada.

frick Canada.
and frick Mexico too, as I don't want to leave them out either.
I hope neither of them make it out of the group stage in the World Cup, and I hope the next time we play Canada in hockey we beat their arse with our fists and on the scoreboard.

I have to pay $25k a year just to not get the services offered to me by EBR public schools. Why the hell would I want to pay more towards something I don't use?

No one in EBR is going to vote for more taxes regardless of what it is for. If you want more money, then you're going to have to take it from somewhere else within the govt budget and we can vote on that.
I suggest you take all that library money and COA money.

My cucumbers are gigantic.

The pickling ones have been normal size other than the wide one here I left on for 2 days too long, but the burpless ones I have just keep growing long. And they are still really tasty.

Lovely wedding guests here. Notice my expert camera work forgetting about my kid, zooming in for the good stuff, then zooming back out and going back to my kid. He did this like 20 times that night and made me record him so he could watch himself. I didn't let him watch that one.

This is what happens when Back That arse up gets played.

Had a job in college working for the general auto insurance and that was my job. I'd work from 530-930 in the evening and that's all we did, listen to recordings of calls and grade them.
They had to make sure we were separated from the call people that were there so there wouldn't be any altercations between us as part of their pay was based on how we graded them. We weren't allowed to go on their side of the building and they weren't allowed on our side.

That big arse building near O'neal and Florida, that's what that was.

NBA has had a horrible playoffs, especially this 2nd round
Amazon Prime? really?

31 point blowout in a Game 7 by the away team last night.

Two game 6's on Friday where the home team can win the series and they both lose by 21 and 30.

OKC and Knicks demolishing their Round 2 opponent and sweeping with an average margin of victory of 16 and 22.


There have been very few games this playoff season that were worth watching to the end of the game.

As someone who's watched plenty of NBA playoff basketball for the last 25+ years, I've had next to zero interest in watching any of this. I am looking forward to OKC/Spurs and Knicks/Cavs though, but I'll quickly go watch somethign else if it's a 20 point game in the 2nd half, like a NHL game, which are a lot more fun to watch than the shitty product the NBA is becoming.

Zion still sucks.
Daizan was offsides but that’s not who they passed to and he really wasn’t interfering with that part of the play. He came back onside before they passed it to him for the goal.

Sucks. That goal was inevitable from Celtic. It’s the penalty before halftime that killed Hearts.

As far as Lisbon goes

- make the day trip out to Sintra to see Pena Palace, Moorish Castle, and Quinta da Regaleira. We ate at Tasca Saloia right across from the National Palace. The pork cheeks was one of the best things i ate during my 2 week trip in Portugal/Spain. They were in a gravy and they were super tender and flavorful, almost melted in your mouth.

- do a guided food tour. there's so many different cultures in Lisbon and you'll get to experience a lot more hole in the wall places that are very authentic. Recommend doing it first day or two you are there, and then you'll get an idea of what type of places you want to eat at the rest of your trip. The African cuisine there is actually really good. The one we did we ate at i think 5 or 6 places. had a beer or wine at each one and you'll definitely be full when you're done. We booked through TripAdvisor - Undiscovered Lisbon Food & Wine Tour with Eating Europe.

-do not wait or pay for the fancy elevator to go to the top. You can walk up there for free and whenever you want. The line to wait for the elevator is usually ridiculous.



I've shot from 65 yards out at Antioch.
If no one is there you can do it. Just don't miss b/c you probably aren't finding your arrow.
Was it a stroke that killed him?

pickled shishito's you say?
Haven't had that before but i'm game.

Just made my first batch of many pickled cucumbers last night.
Going to be pickling banana peppers and i guess now shishito's as well. Corn looks great and i've been spraying it every other week hoping i don't get those damn worms that ive had the last 2 years.

Everythign in my garden is doing well except the squash and zucchini. Keep getting a few with rotted ends.

Yep. Unfortunately it’s unlikely Hearts is winning the league now.
