Imagine Russian military along the Canadian border. Ukraine joins NATO and there would be US troops on Russia's border.

And because you count separate sports from collective bargaining congrats to the players who identify as female on their settlement.

I'm a Lowe's shopper but primarily because they are on the same side of the expressway as me. It's harder to get to HD. My first choices are a couple local supply places and McCoy's for building materials.

Forty years ago my career goal was to be a journalist and dreamed of seeing my by line reporting from a war zone. I still have the greatest respect for those journalists and appreciate the great personal risk they are taking. Watching their coverage with modern media is so much more personal and immediate. Being a parent and grandparent I see video of fighter jets flying low over suburban houses and just want to hold my kids. War isn't glorious. My prayers are constant for all innocents. I sent my normal donation to the Red Cross and will be researching legitimate relief organizations that are helping the Ukrainian refugees. I'm also writing to my senators and member of Congress urging them to welcome war refugees to our borders.

Decades. It's the new Afghanistan in many ways. If Mexico was leaning communist and we could split off a few border states to remain loyal to us, we'd be considering supporting those brave freedom fighters wanting the US. For peace NATO needs to find a way to lose gracefully and accept an East and West Ukraine.

Today's growth decision change. I will be dropping my team off at the course for a practice round then checking into the resort. I've learned that the check-in process there is slow and causes us to not finish the round before dark. Networking and asking other coaches for ideas was the key. There was a time when hubris would have prevented me from humbling myself and asking for help.

I'll admit I'm a radical. My most radical wish for baseball is expanding the rosters to thirty and go full platoon. Submit your defense lineup and your offense lineup. DH for everyone. No more accepting crappy defense because a guy can hit. Football has it right. I'd like to see more seven inning double headers leading to more off days for the players. Cut three weeks out of the regular season and add a round of playoffs. With 162 games the regular season is too diluted. But kids today yearn for what their grandparents had.

Agreed. They should go to college and learn a life skill and avoid that whole baseball scheme. The odds of making real money are so slim versus being a PE teacher, insurance agent, etc. It's a waste of their time.

Despite another cold front hitting I'm busy planning for summer. Normally this would have been a Maine through Canada and back year but instead we decided on the UP.

Just 67 years young. Makes me sad.

No. Will you be supporting all future abusers? If the choice is stopping supporting abusers and being labeled a hypocrite for not objecting in the past or continuing to support abusers, I'll gladly be labeled a hypocrite. Look at the Hawks thread, plenty of folks walked away from the Hawks, but not the Sox. I guess we're all hypocrites.

I've seen a few models with mounts for motors. I think it will be useful in a few spots for us. I at least want the option.

Which means his owner loses even more.

Cutting the regular season back to say 152 games makes each of those games more important. There are a balance between no playoffs and the team with the best record gets the title and everyone in the playoffs. I've wanted top two in each division plus the next two teams with the best record.

I'll bet they lead the conference in GPA. Lol

Yep, I'm making new decisions as I grow in life. My values have changed.

No to In-N-Out because I have gone there and Whataburger is vastly superior. No Marriott because I have a RV and Choice Hotel points. No to Forever 21 because why? Tommy Bahama and Lands End have me covered. I'll be back at Cracker Barrel and Tyson. But who knows maybe that will change and I'll have to acknowledge those mistakes as well.

I'm thinking this would be a great season to follow college baseball instead of just when they reach Omaha. My college team, the UTRGV Vaqueros (D1), are 3-0 and drew over 4,000 this weekend.

I'm looking at the Sea Eagle 380x. Since I'm pulling a camper I just don't want to deal with a kayak rack on my truck. I need a tandem and I'm thinking for the future one that I can mount a small electric onto.

My high school team opened their season last night. I have several area colleges with D1 to NAIA teams, and the Frisco RoughRiders (Texas AA) come in to play the Missions (SD AA) on April 12th. No shortage of baseball here. How's Northwestern's team?

I will not be going to ChikfilA today even though I've gone there in the past. Admittedly it was a mistake I made then. In it's place I will be eating Kellogg's cereal which I boycotted during the worker strike. I will also choose Joanne Fabric over Hobby Lobby for a project I'm doing even though again, I made a poor choice at the time, and I am embarrassed to say I shopped there. I'm trying to be forthcoming about my past mistakes and the new decisions I'm making.

Like they did with the DH? Because I prefer playoff baseball to April or late September? Baseball went from America's game to dying before our eyes while basketball and football crushes it. Move into the 21st century. I've been advocating for thirty years to go to eight teams. The rest of the world is finally catching up.

I would need to actually do some research but it seems that players are reaching the majors quicker but also retiring or facing serious injury quicker. I'm guessing because they have to push themselves to the limit to get a chance. Thirteen years seems crazy to wrap up a player.

I'm all in on a 155 game season and expanded playoffs. Make it permanent.

No reason to if they can get both. I'm thinking they can't get both.
