    Trump did say that as soon as Adams balked at the illegal immigrants problem, criminal charges would be brought to keep him in line.

    Mrs. George has NEVER worn anything higher than about 1 ½ inches. Married her anyway. It's worked out...so far. ETA: Note, my post does not negate what I said to @Tom-K . Just sayin'.

    @Jolly said in Where's Beyonce?: Second time with the Beyonce thing, isn't it? There were rumors (I wonder how that started?) that Beyonce would appear at the DNC convention. Lots of hype, of course..."Sources tell us..." kind of stuff. She never showed, though it was never an official thing.

    After a disappointment like that I would probably buy a hot fudge sundae. At minimum a 2-scoop cone.

    Was that Don Knotts at about 25 seconds? I think I also saw Arnold Stang.

    I suffered an achilles tendon injury when I was 24 on the left side.I never thought much of it until I had a neuro exam by my PCP about 5 months ago. I can't walk tiptoe because of weakness in my left calf. Neuro workup was negative (MRI, etc). I imagine that might be the explanation for why I had difficulty mounting a horse from the ground. Admittedly, I never tried it from the off-side. Anyhow, I just tried standing on one foot. On the left, I was able to do about 7 seconds. On the right, I quit after 25 because, like @bachophile I got bored.

    The existential threat crowd has always beclowned itself. Awareness of that is slowly dawning. Cultures move slowly.

    @Copper said in LA Times: "Nope.": MAGA Nazis marching down Sunset Boulevard, that's what. Hopefully with tiki torches and khakis.

    Well, I'm not sure Abita specified how many, but surely they have a weekly cap. They make pretty decent beer, though. https://abita.com/our-brews/year-round/

    What you want are "MTB cleats". SPD is one example of them, but there are more, e.g. from Time and Crankbrother. I have both SPD and SPD-SL shoes (the latter being the road style version). With SPD shoes you can more or less walk normally and don't look like an idiot. With SPD-SL you don't want to walk for more than 10 metres. Some people will argue that proper road bike cleats have advantages, such as more efficient transmission of power or more comfort on the bike or easer click/unclick, but to be honest I couldn't tell the difference. If anything, the MTB cleats are easier to lock/unlock, especially when dirt is involved. Unless you are a pro, the main argument in favor of "proper" road bike cleats is that you will wear what all the others are wearing in a group ride. The pedals you need depend on the system you are using, but I guess you know that already. Don't buy Wahoo pedals. I tried them once. They are very expensive but real shitty.

    U want a working gun dog? Get what we have. A vizsla. No shed. No wet dog smell. Smart as any dog I’ve ever had. And loving beyond words. (Called Velcro dogs because they have no understanding of personal space. They stick with u everywhere u go) and if like jolly, u may be interested in an hunting companion, well that’s what they are bred for. Downside-endless and I mean endless energy levels.

    Box of Rain is probably Phil Lesh’s best known song. Lesh wrote it as a tribute to his recently deceased father. It was originally released as the opening track on the 1970 American Beauty studio album. https://m. Link to video
