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...

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...

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...

A lot of people in the Chicagoland area fly out of Rockford any more...

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...

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...

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...

Come on out to Archie's Food Basket in Splendora...no panic there...😁

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...

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...

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...

God...didn't they portray him in "Rudy"? Rick something?

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...

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?"

I use Google Pay all the time...more convenient than taking my wallet out anyway...and with the card reader scams, probably more secure...

Nope...got to go back just a little... The World Series his team won included one of the most controversial plays in WS history...

Not sure he ever made an AS team, but I know he's never managed a WS winner...yet 😁

Nope... To be honest, I was surprised this guy ever made an AS team

I went to the Humble, Tx Costco yesterday and it was busier than usual, but not nuts...people were buying water, wipes, TP, and beer...already had all those covered...

No...Joe didn't play in the ASG as a rookie...good guess though...

So, made this one based on my research on rico's question... Who is the only rookie who played in an All-Star game, who went on to manage a World Series winner?

I think even Raymond Babbitt would have had to look that one up...

Hey, it DID take some research! That was a good un...

John Hudek

Tommy Lasorda "appeared" in an All-Star game as a manager and had an 0-4 as a pitcher in his major league career, but I'm thinking that's not what you're looking for...
