  1. The "KSHE Classic" brought back some good memories...KSHE 95 was THE rock radio station in St Louis when I lived across the river in Shiloh, Il. Use to go to a bar in Lebanon, Il called "Stonehenge" that hosted a lot of KSHE sponsored concerts...good times...
  2. Foles-younger $5 million per Dalton-older $16 million per No doubt in my mind who the Mizers of the Midway are pursuing harder...
  3. Good luck...hope everything goes on time and well!
  4. Harris County (Houston) just shut down all restaurants and bars, with restaurants only able to serve take out or drive thru...
  5. Your post is probably exactly what they said, but they just didn't want it public... That's Dr Goldman and Dr Sachs to us...πŸ˜‰
  6. Deleted. You are too valued those you as a member over this. -blue
  7. Not political at all...correcting an erroneous statement... I'd do it if it was directed at any president dating back the Washington...
  8. Goldman Sachs says "Goldman insists in a written statement to Forbes. β€œThe summary text was not prepared or authorized by [Goldman Sachs] and it contains erroneous information and language which was not used on the call. " Link
  9. A guy I work with went into a CVS yesterday and tried to use the restroom...they wouldn't let him because people have been stealing the toilet paper...
  10. You'll not get an argument from me, simply because those decisions were made at a pay grade higher than mine...they give me the plans, and I make the automation work for the controllers...my job deals more with the execution phase... That said, on 3/26 Denver's Metroplex initiatives goes into effect...probably won't realize the fruits til after this Covid-19 issue is gone...
  11. They did the O'Hare Modernization Project instead...added a runway and closed others...I worked in the automation shop at Chicago ARTCC (out in Aurora) at the time, and we redid all of the routes in automation to go either West or South out of O'Hare...Milwaukee is to the North and they're kinda busy, and they don't like departures going out to the East, so... I'm familiar with where GYY is...we revamped their SIDs (Standard Instrument Departures) and STARs (Standard Terminal Arrival Routes) as well back in 2011 or so...
  12. A lot of people in the Chicagoland area fly out of Rockford any more...
  13. Really? I've flown in and out of both quite a bit, and I'd much rather fly out of O'Hare...maybe proximity, because I lived in the western suburbs, but flying all over the country, O'Hare was high on my list of places I didn't mind flying in and out of...and an evening flight out of MDW can be an adventure just getting there... LaGuardia was the worst...Atlanta is no picnic if you're renting a car...and Houston (IAH...Bush International...not Hobby) is ok, but I've only had my luggage lost 3 times and all 3 times it was at IAH... Philly sucks too, but at least the cheesesteaks are good...
  14. Hey, I just discovered the whole "Combat!" Series is on YouTube for free! I had no idea...my favorite show when I was a kid...Sgt Chip Saunders rocks...
  15. Yep...as many people as I saw wearing masks, gloves, and hoarding everything they could in Costco and HEB today that I would have liked to kicked right square in the ass, if they would have needed help, I woulda helped em...
  16. Come on out to Archie's Food Basket in Splendora...no panic there...😁
  17. You know what really scares me? The fact that other countries see how easy it is to get the US in a tizzy...Jesus Christ, the Greatest Generation has to be ashamed...what would we do now if a madman took over Europe and started gassing millions of people? Lay in the corner and suck our thumbs? This country, for all of its warts, has stepped up to numerous challenges over the years, with great strength and courage... If you think other countries that are not our friends aren't noticing, you're mistaken...
  18. My Dad use to wear plain white t-shirts when we went camping...in a pinch, he'd rip off the sleeves and make utility of those... I have about 2 dozen plain white t-shirts...run out of those, I guess I'll go out and scoot along the grass like a dog...
  19. Me too...so much BS "information" out there right now... Read a story about a Covid-19 "survivor"...yeah, she's 1 in 99...I'll take those odds any day... I hate getting sick, but this isn't the Bubonic Plague...people need to calm down...
  20. God...didn't they portray him in "Rudy"? Rick something?
  21. Those were 2 good ones...you'd stump a lot of people with those 2 questions...John Hudek...maybe I ought to go down to my neighbor who "knows everything there is to know about the Astros" and ask him that one...
  22. I figured that might be too much of a clue, but the only other one I could think of was, "What do they call a jock strap in Kansas City?"
  23. I use Google Pay all the time...more convenient than taking my wallet out anyway...and with the card reader scams, probably more secure...
  24. Nope...got to go back just a little... The World Series his team won included one of the most controversial plays in WS history...
