I also think we have come to believe that nothing is impossible for America. I love that. Despite how badly we executed in New Orleans, I have no doubt that the nest one will be better, and the one after that even better.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Sep 21, 2005 -> 11:35 AM) Being an ex-framer, this will work. Thanks Yas. I didn't put in the detail 2x4s to strengthen the plywood covering and creating a place to screw to. It is sooo much faster and easier than cutting to fit. I only worry about the posts pulling out of the ground. But I figure by then I have bigger problems than that. Is there a best angle for the brace? I was about at a 45 degree. My house is brick and I have a couple great rooms away from the wind, and without really big windows for riding the storm out. We're sitting here wondering what it's going to do like everyone else. The last one hooked south and missed us, but that one was coming from the south, not the east. The longer the high pressure ridge stays intact, the worse for me. I haven't seen Jim Cantori yet, so I guess we're going to be fine.

Starting yesterday afternoon, until well after the game finished, I realized this was the ultimate marriage of technology and baseball. I've been a Sox fan for almost 40 years and have never been so plugged into a game. I "talked" with everyone at Soxtalk. Jumped on the Rally Crede bandwagon very early, watched the game on mlb.tv, was in the chat for a while, the game thread for a while, IMing, and emailing, all about the game. I is easily one of my top 5 greatest White Sox moments.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Sep 21, 2005 -> 07:34 AM) Holy s***! This thing is going to be just like Katrina when it hit, and we are still right in the bullseye as it moves inland. The forecasts are for 50 mph sustained winds with higher gusts here for a period of 6-8 hours. Ugh. Kap, if you decide to board up any windows, I prefer the bigger sheet of plywood and anchoring to the ground. Kind of like setting a wall while framing. W| I| N| D|\ O| \ W| \| ____|________ground level xxxx|xxxxxxxx xxxx|xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxx Does the diagram make sense? The board is held against the house and nailed to a post set a foot or two into the ground. Nothing is screwed into the house and all size windows are easy to cover. No extra sawing and trying to fit to the window frame.

Waiting to see when, where the high pressure ridge breaks up. The longer it stays intact and strong, the worse the weather for me. If it collapses like the '69 Cubs, it will be clear skies for me.

OMG OMG I can't believe it. The Rally Crede. Who could have predicted it? Jas, WTF didn't he have a stock tip instead of a Crede tip I was emailing back and forth with a friend of mine who is not a big sports fan and she was excited. I couldn't believe it when she wrote Crede Homered to Deep Left.

Talk like a Pirate "We're 62-89 and eliminated months ago, we suck in Pittsburg"

Actually Kap is closest.

I was just thinking, in all this talk about readiness to respond, has anyone considered that some disasters are on a scale that we could never be ready for? Maybe we can't make every situation come out happy for everyone. Maybe there truly isn't anything we can do to stop every conceivable catastrophe from happening.

LMAO

He was in AA not that long ago. He is a huge gamble in big games, but the momentum could be all his. This was not all his fault.

Chat was working. Maybe we need to see how well that will take the hit.

QUOTE(heirdog @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 11:10 PM) Yeah. I hope so. Like I said, it better displace the over the shoulder catch by the Royals (which was #2) behind Bonds' 706th homer...a monster shot. I'd have liked to see a 9th inning over the shoulder ARow catch

We need a rally crede version of

The Rally Crede is nice but I wish Jason had a Rally Stock Tip instead

Unf***ing believable. Rally Crede. We could Rally Timo to the HoF

Nice hit AJ, Jolly Good.

I forgot Willie's still on the team

WTF NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

GASSSSSS
