That was cool to see. Of course, I'm hoping next time they'll put on those jet packs and truly do a space walk without any tethers. That's the good stuff. Also, feel bad for the chick... she had go to go up when they were on the dark side of the earth, although who knows, maybe she could see a billion stars and city lights. Also I like how they called the hatch location where they stood, the "skywalker".

Holy cow, I just finished the 1st, and the 2nd is landing on October 1st... I wonder if the series is mostly written and they are going to release one after another?

That line is probably maintained by the same people who do the Bermuda Triangle.

LOL Yeah my buddies send me his tweets from time to time, they are insanely out there, but lots of chuckles, too.

Reagan. American flies direct between Westchester Airport and DCA. I leave my house and in 30m I’m at the gate. Unfortunately there’s only a handful of places you can fly to from there. Mostly airline hubs (eg ATL on delta) and Florida vacation spots.

@Jolly said in H.R. 82: There are a lot of people who pay into both. Then they should receive from both. Not fair to punish them. If a person works for one the few private companies that still give a pension, those people also get Social Security.

A side note: A horse doesn't naturally want to be a "leader" in the herd. It just wants to know who is, and will follow by instinct. If it accepts you as the leader, it will do these things. If, however, you don't show leadership, it will take up the role.

@George-K Yup, that is why I don't have a big opinion against driverless cars. There are so many idiot human drivers out there, but driverless overall will probably be an improvement.

15 years ago when I went to a pub with my colleagues I ordered a beer. Today I order wine. I guess I’m part of the problem.

He hasn't died yet after all those hurricanes, so I suggest you stay close to him while he's there.

@Klaus said in Happy Birthday jon_nyc: This won't happen again. I'll install a Cron job on the TNCR server to play HBD and show the American flag on the TNCR homepage for the full duration of each of your precious birthdays! I assume this is only for @jon-nyc , right?

@George-K said in Trump - Butler, PA: Screencap before it gets deleted.

He really should have.

@Copper Ouch!!! Hope it is not too much work to repair. (The tooth, not the strawberries!!)

Although I have to say I had the worst Skyline cheese coney ever last night at Riverbend Music Center. I’m sure it was made around the original 9/11. Ugh. John Legend, however, was fantastic. I didn’t know much about his music or his vocal abilities. Now I do.

The floor routine… Wasn’t there an Austrian or something that should have won gold, but was penalized for stepping out of bounds? The pproblem was she didn’t actually step out of bounds?

BTW, Landfall was down around Dulac, just a little SE of Houma. Lord, if y'all knew how much shrimp we've bought down at Dulac...Biggest run we ever made was 1000 pounds....
