  1. I'm left scratching my head, what was the Steele Dossier, which was paid for by the HRC Campaign? Does listening to oppo research constitute foreign meddling in an election? Why would the FBI have any jurisdiction over foreign election meddling? If you receive the information and report everything to the FBI, is the information still fair game to use against your opponent? The state of California is wanting to give free healthcare to illegals, shouldn't these illegals' home countries have a say in our elections? I mean it does affect the welfare of their citizens.
  2. I know the words, but I spare the people around me by not singing them. Not a good song for a baritone.
  3. I can remember when this was the most popular pastime at the end of Colts games, seeing who could get a paper airplane to the playing field. I will admit to taking a couple of stabs at it, though I was never particularly adept at building paper airplanes.
  4. 1. So instead of getting home at 12-1, it'll be 1-2. An hour less sleep for me would probably mean I'm not working on Saturday morning, the F/JV DH's on Saturday morning after Friday night in the heat are already taxing enough. 2. We've noticed many times as daylight feigns, it gets hotter. Usually some sort of a breeze during daylight hours that many times goes away as darkness falls.
  5. You may for personal use, import Cuban Cigars that were purchased in another country. Commercial importation is still prohibited. https://help.cbp.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/82/kw/cuban cigars I had a dad on my team who was pretty flush with cash, he offered me up some Pappy Van Winkle several times, I took a pass.
  6. James Banks was a lone exception to that rule that I can recall.
  7. We were recently in Jamaica and they had Cuban's on sale everywhere. I was being pressured to buy, but steadfastly refused. The dude kept telling me it was legal, which I understood, but I refused based US sanctions, which the dude just couldn't understand.
  8. If the R’s are smart they will primary him. If the D’s run anyone to the right of Stalin, I will vote the him/her.
  9. Until a warmer climate school comes calling.
  10. Some years it rains more than others. Farmers are at the mercy of the weather. I don't make the rules, I just follow them. Of course if our backwards thinking governor would get off his hands, Hemp could have already been in the ground and thriving with all the wet May weather.
  11. In the pros QB's put butts in the seats. They will have multiple back ups but they are not on the same level. In college, QB's putt butts in the seats. They will have multiple back ups that may or may not be on the same level. In high school, QB's are often the only option a team has for QB. Yes there are exceptions, but I'd much rather my QB got hurt scrambling than making a tackle.
  12. I've borrowed money from time to time, no one ever held a gun to my head to sign on the dotted line. If you're unhappy with the juice, go somewhere else or don't borrow. It's not a difficult concept to grasp.
  13. Yawn..... Precipitation Most consecutive days with measurable (>= 0.01") precipitation 13 - April 9-21, 1893 12 - May 10-21, 2010 11 - 9 times (1875, 1876, 1883, 1896, 1908, 1929, 1933, 1945, 1992) last time was July 7-17, 1992 Most consecutive days with any (>= trace) precipitation 22 - November 27-December 18, 1983 - April 6-27, 1893 19 - January 6-24, 1995 18 - December 29, 1998-January 1999 15,- January 11-28, 1918 The beautiful thing about the term climate "change" is no matter what happens, "change" has it covered. What is the ideal amount of CO²? What is the ideal sea level? What is the ideal global temperature? What is the ideal glacial coverage? What is the ideal sea temperature?
  14. I was supervising a travel softball tournament last year when the PU requested that all fans be removed from the backstop and moved to the opposite end of the dugouts. I went and told them they had to move, only had an issue with one fan, who "paid his money" and would sit wherever he wanted. After a brief discussion he saw things my way and moved. No problems for the "if" game. It's sad, why can't adults just act like adults and let kids play a game?
  15. A bunch got planted last week. Locally, although late, I was guess close to 50% is planted, and with Rose Acres bean meal plant, beans aren't always a bad option for local farmers. Ehhh, it's a wet spring, they happen. I can remember not so long ago farmers talking about planting beans the week of the fair, last week of July. I would guess we'll survive.
  16. My humblest apologies, it has come to my attention that New Castle removed some seats and now is #3 on the list. And there's no longer an edit function. I bow to your superior intellect.
  17. Chrysler Arena is north of 70, the boundary for many between north and south. Never let facts get in the way of taking pot shots.
  18. The FBI has a long and storied past of blackmail, extortion, illegal surveillance, etc., at the highest levels that dates back to it's inception. No one is immune, not even presidents. Why would we ever thing anything any different?
  19. I can remember when I was a kid, these folks were mid-late 40's...early 50's, they were old people to me, who seemed to be living in history. It's only come to me over time the sacrifices that were made. Fortunately as I have grown older, I've been able to be antiquated with several of this generation and had the opportunity to hear some of the stories, not necessarily of the war itself, just the times. It's sad that most of this generation are now gone, and with them the stories, the lives, the history and the lessons of the great war. I think now more than ever, it is important that we remember and learn from, not only what happened on the coast of northern France 75 years ago, but from the entire time in human history.
  20. Will he teach at SD or stay at JC?
  21. I was lead to believe that the scrimmages were a way to get back to a 10 game schedule and it never materialize. I would not be in favor of moving the starting date up. Those early season games are hard enough on fat old guys as it is, especially on turf.
  22. I have no problem with a woman's right to choose, once again I think I have been pretty consistent I'm pro-choice. Personally I feel like abortion is murder, but your right to choose is between you and whoever you answer to. On the issue of subsidies, Cummins did a fairly large office construction/plant renovation here a few years back, sold the city/county a bill of goods. For their property taxes on the property for 2018 pay 2019 they are getting a 3.8 million dollar abatement. From what I can see there are no new employees in Jackson County, a high end apartment complex was built to house all of these "new workers" privately that received no abatement. The apartment complex has struggled to fill apartments, meanwhile Cummins charters buses to the Seymour plant from Greenwood and Franklin. Two buses a day run back and forth. My point being, if Cummins were hiring locally, or employees were moving to Jackson County, I wouldn't necessarily have a problem with the abatements, but that's clearly not the case. Jackson County is giving away this year 3.8 million to help Cummins bottom line. This I have an issue with.
  23. Back in the day, there was a pizza place that was closed after the game, but they fed the officials after the game. I can't recall the name of it. Had some fine pizza in there. Zwanzigs is da bomb. We eat there a lot after games. Closed after games, but if you're near Oldenburg, the Brau Haus is killer. If you're down south, hustle up, they close fairly early, The New Albanian in New Albany rocks. Great pizza. McQ's pub if you're near Roncalli.....if you can get in after the game. In New Castle you HAVE to go to The Ice House and get the steak sandwich with onions. One of the best dive bars in Indiana. San Pedro Mexican in Charlestown is pretty good, a word of caution they quit selling alcohol an hour before closing time. Rubbin Butts near Sellersburg, reasonably priced BBQ that's really good. I'll be honest over 36 years, there's a bunch!
  24. I get your point, subsidies are subsidies period. In my original comment, my thoughts are how can anything be a right, when someone else's rights are infringed upon? If abortion is a right, someone has to perform it. Expanding on the gun issue, US citizens have the right to keep and bear arms, but if I can't afford one, the government doesn't subsidize me purchasing a firearm. As far as subsidies to businesses, I have mixed emotions. I don't necessarily oppose all subsidies on the face of it. But a for instance our local government recently granted an abatement for a warehouse that added no new employees. That in my opinion is a government handout. I never said I necessarily opposed subsidizing abortions. I think I have pretty consistent in my opinion that government's place is to aid it's citizenry with things they can't do for themselves. In Bob's example of a broke 17 year old girl taking a bus three states away for an abortion. There are a myriad of thoughts that come to mind with this situation. It no doubt fits my opinion of government's role in our lives, but first and foremost, how is a 17 year old kid in this situation where she has no where to turn other than an abortion clinic.?
