Players of Italian descent who couldn't make the U.S. team and went over there doesn't cut it for me. They are U.S. Citizens. Not Italians.
I like how they organized their professional league(s) though. Teams that suck get punished with relegation to a lower level. Unlike MLB where they get paid.
I've taught them birds are off limits.
A friend and I were sitting on the porch one day while Merc was watching squirrels. Friend asks if Mercury could catch one.
"Naw, he's too fat now." (He was at the time, he lost the weight later)
I wake up to a squirrel on the welcome mat.
The left is figuring out there was a price to pay for abandoning worker and class priorities.
William Lazos — "Wedding" (acrylic on canvas, 2024)
I think that scarring may be from the cleaving of two tomatoes. I get a few each year like that.
They do this to keep the left from focusing on class issues. Which if addressed, properly, helps vulnerable groups the most.
Both my Senators depend on Boeing and the War Machine to stay in power. Supposedly progressive Democrats.
Who both voted for the Iraq war. They have close to 60 years in office between them.
That's the one!
I knew you were referencing Scottish Premier League developments and I'm a U.S. Sports fan.
Under no circumstances would the Rangers and Celtics play against each other in a U.S. pro sports league.
Plus I play as Dundee United in EA Sports Soccer! 3x CL winners!
A boy can dream...
Cool.
Then I had Wacky Packages.
My fav was "YuBum Coffee."
Taking 9 skeets to state BOHICA is next level erudition.
They were called something different in the 70's when I collected them. My bedroom door was plastered top to bottom with them.
I'm a U.S. citizen.
America is a hemisphere.
I recall losing friends in the early aughts over an argument that the Democrats needed to get very serious about illegal immigration or a demagogue would come along to exploit that single issue to gain power. When you couple the latent racism in many U.S. citizens with the tale they took your jobs?
You have to understand how long blue collar types had seen their lives/families/communities degraded while the left insisted they were doing all they could to reverse the trends.
Trump is a symptom. Not the disease.
I predicted the rise of a demagogue around 1998. Nothing was trickling down.
I don't think it was rigged the first time Trump won.
The odds of him carrying every swing state and the 80 counties within those states needed to win 2024 were astronomical. Like 10 to the 26th power.
I knew a populist would come along to exploit working class angst eventually. 1/
The Constitution contains only qualifications to run and be POTUS.
Not disqualifications. Courts would always have held the "let voters decide" position.
After nine iterations have you ever questioned the game developer's sincerity when using the word "final?"
I adopted calling them the Make Beliefs.
They make believe they are a hockey club.
I was all in on this guy's proposal until I discovered it takes him 6 hours to drive to Seattle.

I can't find a source for this anywhere.
The White House has certainly not made this announcement.
We've been at this point for a long time.
I won't hold my breath now.
I make fish tacos at home. I bread the fish fresh but I know those who just buy fish sticks and make them with those. The tartar is just regular tarter but use chunky salsa instead of pickles/capers/etc. Slaw is slaw.
Easy peasy. I just don't make them at home when they are a dollar on Tuesday!
I started playing guitar again at 53.
I'm writing and performing my own work ten years on.
Our window of being able to do whatever we set our minds to is open longer and wider than we've been conditioned to believe.
Look at Grandma Moses.
Planting trees whose shade you'll never enjoy brings me fulfillment.
I alway say "hello babies" when I go into my greenhouse.
Boston College wants a piece of this skeet.
We really feel this in Spokane, WA.
Canadians used to come here and spend lots of money.
I can't remember the last time I saw a license plate from B.C. or Alberta. Used to be thick as thieves on winter weekends.
They've been my team since I was a young child.
But now we've got the Kraken I've begun to drift away.
It doesn't make sense for them to be this bad for this long. It's been 60 years.
The musical instruments were more than likely replacements for ones used in various military bands.
