Copious cuts I’ll bet. Stay warm
So glad to see you Africanna. Now someone is here to laugh at bigs golf jokes. Most us us don’t get the punchline.
so how does your garden grow?
With all the titanium in Big he is a walking lightning rod....See what I mean Africanna…
Good points! The furnace did run nonstop for a long time heating up the air and the building itself up 12 degrees F. It has been cycling normally probably for 18 of those 20 hours.
Just got this from a guy who has gathered together a bunch of us Baldwin Class Of 1958 High Schoolers:
Food for thought :
We grew up in the 30s-40s-50s-60.
We studied and dated in the 40s-50s-60s-70s.
We got married and discovered the world in the 50s-60s-70s-80s.
We ventured into the 70s-80s-90s.
We stabilized in the 90s-2000s.
We got wiser in the 2000s.
And went firmly through the 2010s.
Turns out we've lived through NINE different decades...
TWO different centuries..
TWO different millennia...
We have gone from the telephone with an operator for long-distance calls to video calls to anywhere in the world.
We have gone from slides to YouTube,
from vinyl records to online music,
from handwritten letters to email and WhatsApp...
from live matches on the radio, to black and white TV, and then to HDTV...
We went to Blockbuster and now we watch Netflix...
We got to know the first computers, punch cards, diskettes and now we have gigabytes and megabytes in hand on our cell phones or iPads...
We wore shorts throughout our childhood and then long pants, oxfords, Bermuda shorts, etc.
We dodged infantile paralysis, meningitis, H1N1 flu and now COVID-19...
We rode skates, tricycles, bicycles, mopeds, gasoline or diesel cars and now we ride hybrids or 100% electric...
Yes, we've been through a lot, but what a great life we've had!
They could describe us as "exennials" people who were born in that world of the forties, who had an analog childhood and a digital adulthood.
We're kind of Ya-seen-it-all.
Our generation has literally lived through and witnessed more than any other in every dimension of life.
It is our generation that has literally adapted to "CHANGE".
A big round of applause to all the members of a very special generation, which are UNIQUE.

And worth a small fortune on the metal futures market.

When I use to go gambling I brought $20.00 my Id and nothing else. At the casinos the drinks are free. I always had a good time. I would play the .25 slots . Once I left with $365. And started with 20. My drink of choice was the long Island Iced tea. The Harris Casino made the best LIIT.
Hear, hear, God bless us all!!!!
Not to forget that it was all uphill both ways and we now call "the good old days", we called "these trying times" at the moment.
My Daddy had a system that beat Lost Wages. He never lost playing KENO. <-- The reason: drinkies were on the house while the game was on, and he would have two Chivas Regals in that time.
It cost him a buck a game*** so if he never won, he would still be ahead cost-wise.
*** Each game took four minutes, with a two-minute break between games.
If I remember how he described it, the ticket cost 50c. You could pick a whole buncha numbers, but each one cost another 50c.
So he only played one number. So his cost was $1.00
Every now and then he'd win... not much, but he din' care; he was having fun gambling with the house's money.

Very nicely actually . Looking forward to the rewards.
I'll post up as soon as I'm back in town
An sumpin' the punk kids oughta think about:
Guess who TF it was that changed Long Distance operators ("Numba Puleeze") into worldwide face-to-face visual communication?
Who went from biplanes to rocketships?
Them old geezers.
I had a gambling system formula that never failed.
When I had layovers in Reno, I placed the quarters in my pocket into one of the airport slot machines and usually hit at least one jackpot of quarters.
I continued to wisely invest those quarters by placing them in the slot machine and without fail those and the quarters that I started with, were gone by the time my flight arrived.

Thanks Mr P. Good to be here
UFO's are real, and they have been hiding it illegally from Congress for decades. Congressmen pissed.
Gotta read this article end to end. Definitely not boring.

UFO Briefing Fallout: Congressional Divides Emerge Amidst Claims of Secrecy and Extraterrestrial Tech Cover-Up - Whatfinger News Summary
Congress had a closed hearing in a SCIF about UFOs last Friday. This is what they had to say as they came out. There has been a coverup since at least 1947 and I don’t think anyone will be able to ignore what’s coming. Many Congresspeople interviewed, see video below. Congress had a closed hearing

They are 100% sure a millenial did all that as no dinosaur ever did anything except colonize and be racist.
They've got gambling machines in the food-marts out there. I went in to get a candy bar, wound up losing $187.
