    Last week, a pair of those jacked-up Civics (I call them loud go-carts) were racing on a freeway I was on. Learned a long time ago, stay in a lane more to the middle when you see/hear them coming). Passed me in the far left two lanes—easily 120mph. 
     

    Always wonder why? Unless there is high stakes money involved (and on an approved track), why risk lives—including their clueless own—over such triviality? 

    Were you on I-270?

     

    I see these idiots on I-71 all the time. We also have issues with motorcycles/crotch rockets parading up and down High St. and last year had a bunch of cars take over Indianola Ave. at Cooke Rd. one weekend , doing burnouts and donuts and racing.

    My father did that in 1944–except he was 22 the year before, and was co-piloting B-17’s while dodging flak and Messerschmitts. 
     

     

    My father did that in 1944, but he was an 18 year old guiding a minesweeper across the Pacific. Being the efficient person he was, he got it to its destination ahead of schedule. He was a Navy cartographer who spent his spare time plotting ways back to Louisville using only waterways. I used to call him the human Mapquest.

    My son had a baseball teammate one year who was only there because his friends were playing. He was a scrawny kid who knew nothing about the game and actually wore sandals to one practice. He used to wear a pink T-shirt that said “Real men wear pink “. He wound up winning a world title in Shuai Jiao when he was only 18.

    Stealers hit roadblock with signing Bengals FA WR Tyler Boyd

    At this point in free agency, the most coveted players are gone. The Pittsburgh Stealers may have had a plan when they traded Diontae Johnson, but we’ve not yet seen it come to fruition. That’s not to say it won’t still happen if the play was to sign Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd but according to Stealers beat writer Ray Fittipaldo, the two sides aren’t agreeing on money, so Pittsburgh is going to try to wait him out.

    They’re trying to wait out Tyler Boyd. I’m not quite sure how that’s going to end up going down here. I know that he wants to get paid more than they’re offering him. 

     

    Boyd isn’t the only free-agent receiver left on the market but his ties to Pittsburgh seem to make him the one the Stealers want the most. The Stealers have dedicated significant resources to scouting some of the top receivers in the 2024 NFL draft which we assume is Plan B if Boyd and Stealers can’t reach an agreement prior to the draft.

    Wonder how much he’s asking for, and how is Pisspuke cap wise?

    The Bengals are content to try and go 3-3 or even 2-4 in the north and dog walk the rest of the league. Might cost them a bye/home field but they’ve beat the Chiefs and Bills on the road so I’m not sure that phases them at all. The moves they’ve made have been to stop explosive pass plays and run their offense out of 11. They are gearing up to beat the Chiefs/Bills/Texans not the Browns/Stealers/Ravens

    But unless we meet them in the playoffs, we're not even scheduled to play the Bills or Texans this year. We do need to figure out how to beat the rest of the AFC North since that is six games of our schedule.

    I will turn 70 in December and just love playing soccer, including in tournaments around the country.  I may very well drop dead while playing, but at least I will be doing something I love.  ⚽️

     

    That’s what our neighbor did. He died doing something he loved. I quit playing softball some years back, but would like to get back into it. I still do 8-10 mile bike rides when the weather is cooperative.

    Let me guess: this isn’t the same volleyball they play at Flannigan’s on Sawmill Road? 🙂

    Hardly. 
     

    Speaking of volleyball at Flanagan’s Pub: Sad but true story. We had a long time neighbor 3 doors down from us. Nice guy-Browns and Indians fan. We’d see him walking his dogs and he would stop by our yard sales every year and he and hubby would talk sports. He ran a business out of his house, so we would save our padded mailers for him to reuse. Anyway, a few years ago, he was playing volleyball at Flanagan’s one really warm Labor Day, had a heart attack, and died. He was in his early 60’s.

    Ironically my buddy has left and is now a registered democrat, he got tired of working on stuff he didnt believe in, so he quit and is now a stay at home dad with his new baby girl.

    I hope your friend is cherishing this time with his daughter. Parenthood goes way too fast. I’m also guessing his blood pressure is a lot lower.

    One of the biggest problems in Washington that I have seen from one of the guys in my Men's Bible Study who used to work for Congresswoman Miller Meeks as her legislative director, is that the politicians are too concerned about getting political wins.

    You don't have to tell me about Trump's character. I've known about him since the 80s, well before he was on the national scene in any serious political way. By product of a behind-the-scenes political squabble with one of his mentors.

     

    And, inadvertently, you hit on one key point: one of these oafs is going to be the next president. It's time people got seriously interested in just how our polity has declined so, such that we even allow this kind of contest to happen. How do you fix it? Engaging in lawfare against one person and whitewashing the other doesn't cut it.

     

    And that's my truth. Hold all these fuckers to standards that are derived from the best of what it means to be a citizen. As I said in another comment, I will not be voting for either one of these murderous dipshits, but that doesn't mean I will quit being a gadfly..

    I won’t be voting for either of these decrepit old crooks, either. Unfortunately, I am married to a political science major so I constantly am subjected to political discourse (mostly on Faux News) so I am a gadfly by proxy. 

     

    Also, I do find it amusing that Senator Katie Britt, who delivered the Republican rebuttal, did it from her kitchen table, cross around her neck, while praising Trump, who is easily one of the least Christian men you will ever encounter. I will never comprehend the evangelical Christians’ love for this man. (Except that he was fortunate enough to be able to appoint 3 judges to the Supreme Court, with help from Mitch McConnell, who then overturned Roe vs. Wade). I guess to evangelical Christians, it’s OK to sexually assault women, discriminate against people in housing, cheat on your wife, commit fraud in business, and call people “vermin”, as long as you get Roe vs. Wade overturned.

    She was never a factor .

     

    I know she was never going to be a factor, but I still hate to see it.

     

    And of course, Trump can't be gracious in his acknowledgement of her dropping out. He has to be his usual, bombastic, narcissistic, asinine self. 

     

    I hate that our choices are two decrepit, old crooks. 334 million plus people in this country and this is the best we can do to choose the leader of the free world?

     

    UGH!!

    Agree .

    Why do they get tax free status?

    I don't know what they taught you there but did u feel it was a better education/social values institution?

     

    As an education/societal values institution, absolutely. Even when I was in junior high and I knew I was going there, I knew it was better than the local public high school. I took Driver’s Ed at my local high school with some of my friends and the building was in not as well maintained and the students were not nearly as respectful.  I will say that at the high school I attended (and it was an all girl school) the level of cattiness was comparable. That comes with any large group of teenage girls. I also know that not everyone’s experience there was positive. I have friends who were on scholarship and their memories are not as good. That still goes on today. Private schools are great if your child can handle a lot of structure and discipline, but if not, they’re going to have issues. We debated sending our son to the Catholic high school in our neighborhood after he spent elementary and middle school in the public schools and I vetoed it. He wound up at the local high school and did just fine and even had opportunities to do some dual credit (high school and college credit) courses online that he would not have been able to do at the Catholic school.
