They didn't need a hydraulic rescue tool instead a simple axe and pry bar did the job. I really love the marketing of the Jaws of Life(tm). A breathless Lester Holt describing they needed the JAWS OF LIFE to rescue Tiger is way more entertaining than they needed a hydraulic rescue tool and it's just plain boring to report they are removing the windshield with hand tools.

2021 Catch-All
Roll back earlier when they were brave patriots standing up for freedom and stopping the steal, brave and strong just like our founding fathers. Could you imagine Washington - "I was at Lexington but I wasn't involved. I was picking up some wheat for Martha".

2021 Catch-All
Here's his defense. He was returning Obama's cap and was confused between the Capital and the White House. Honest mistake.

WTF It's Seriously &^$%^ Cold Outside
https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/24/opinions/texas-electric-power-russo/index.html If Texas were its own country, we would be the world's sixth-largest wind energy producer. Though California is thought to be the leader in renewable energy in the US, Texas has more installed solar and wind capacity. With more solar and wind power projects planned to come online in the next five years than in any other state, our solar power market is about to be Texas-sized as well.

COVID-19/Coronavirus thread
It looks like I'm getting the Pfizer vaccine. My wife was there today. The facility is in a space that formerly was a major department store. Thousands of people being pushed through. They are using three levels of the building. She felt like cattle and since in her previous life she owned a dairy farm with many hundreds of cows, she should know.

Market/Financial Thread
I was just thinking one of my ETFs probably has a short position. CLIX is long on all of the on line retailers and short on brick and mortar stores. It's down a lot this week.

Service Time Manipulation
Paying them what they are worth is why the owners won't go for it. I'm wondering how many posters here can remember the days before free agency?

Service Time Manipulation
The owners probably won't like it but I'd like to see a drafting team have control of the player for a set period of time regardless of level assigned. My idea is a team has control for seven or eight years then the player would be a free agent.

One of my neighbors took delivery of a 2021 F250. I have truck envy. I must resist.

Biden needs to ban Republicans from getting vaccinated. Then they will fight like crazy for the vaccine.

They shut the road down and have a team of investigators there. For a non fatal, single car, accident?

COVID-19/Coronavirus thread
I'm wondering if one of the long terms gains will be the ability to more quickly identify at a minimum new Covid strains and work quicker to prevent widespread outbreaks. Similar to the flu. So when Covid-27 hits we will avoid much of this. Or even a combination flu and Covid vaccine.

February 24 - Tony Larussa DUI Awareness Day
2/24 marks the one year anniversary of his second DUI. Please take a moment to remember all of the victims of drunk driving crashes. While we've debated his fitness as manager of our beloved team we sometimes forget that impaired driving happen everyday, in every community, by folks like us. Everyone can be made an example of. Perhaps if we use his negative example to promote safer choices, maybe, just maybe, something good will come of all this. The biggest challenge with alcohol is when we most need our best judgement about the affect of the drinks we've consumed, alcohol fights back and attempts to take away that judgment. We need to plan before we go.
