The Spleen

The shack is closer to Pell City than Talladega. Pretty good haul from Sylagauga. I don't care for their BBq, but they have great burgers. Good Ole Boys BBQ in Sylacauga is pretty good. ...

[quote]It requires the most skill of any of the majors[/quote] Eh, I'd say it's more a mental test than a skill test. Sure, you have to be on your game, but it's more about taking your medicine and putting bad holes behind you. Everyone is going to have a bad hole here and there. The winner is ...

[quote] I know there are a lot of tax breaks for this type of job[/quote] Not anymore with the new tax law. There may be some state tax breaks, but no more federal ones. ...

That would be the plan - leave a day or two after school is out here, which is usually around Memorial Day. I loved Yellowstone, but it was 85 or 86 last time I went. I remember it being pretty crowded even then. Frequent traffic jams at major intersections and sites. I think it was early August...

My client's office was on the route the trucks took from the rail yard to the landfill. I was pretty far away(5-10 miles maybe) from the actual landfill, but anytime one of those trucks came by the smell lingered for 10-15 minutes. Client said there was often spillage from the trucks, and the smell ...

I was out in that area for work last fall, and the smell was indescribably awful. Worst thing I've ever smelled. Those residents are right to be pissed off. ...

[quote]She should be sharing a cell with Trump. [/quote] Yep. ...

Moore will run again in 2020. I'd put my next paycheck on it. ...

This stuff better be good. Bham stores are saying they only expect to get a pallet each tomorrow, if that many. And not all of them will get some. I have to make a beer run tomorrow anyway, so I'll grab some if I see it. ...

[quote]Canoe[/quote] Good to see that is still a respected place. It was my go-to for a nice dinner when I lived in Atlanta years ago. ...

Sure, they're suspicious. And they were investigated and the IG didn't find the attitudes portrayed in those texts tainted their involvement in the case. Maybe that's BS, maybe it isn't, but if you're going to accept the things in the report that suit your bias, and reject the things that don't, tha...

[quote]That lone text should be the fricking poster child for the IG's investigation, [/quote] They investigated it. From the report.. [quote]Peter Strzok & Lisa Page exchanged anti-Trump texts, BUT “we did not find documentary or testimonial evidence that improper considerations, including p...

How were the crowds? We're considering a trip to Yellowstone in early June of next year. ...

I'd like to say I would have, but remembering how I was at 18 I probably would not have. ...

[quote] It works for us though.[/quote] That's all that matters. ...

There was a gay guy in our hunting club one year. He was an avid deer hunter and usually took most of his vacation time at work during deer season. I had no clue for a while until he told me and another guy there one night. Didn't fit a single stereotype. He did ask us not to tell any of the other m...

Seems like it'd just be easier to revoke his access to the cash first, then monitor things for a while. But I don't know, it's not my business. As for the question, perhaps just a small game camera from a sporting goods store will do the trick. Motion detection, stores on a memory stick, battr...

[i]Devil In the White City [/i] was my favorite Larson book. Check it out as well. ...

And there's a lot of good music from the 00's and 10's. Sorry you've apparently missed out on it. Sometimes you just have to take the initiative and seek it out on your own. ...

Great book. I'm about halfway through [i]The Goldfinch.[/i] It's been really good. I've gotten the itch to read [i]The Great Gatsby[/i] again, so I'll probably start it up pretty soon. ...
