greg775 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Heard a lot of good things about Ted Lasso on Apple TV and this is a perfect weekend to binge watch a show. Since i like Sudeikis and actually saw him many years ago in Second City at the Las Vegas Flamingo before SNL, I bought apple TV membership. I wondered if anybody has seen the first season? I would give it a thumbs up. I'm torn right now between calling it just "darn good" or "life altering must see TV good." I have four episodes left in season one but I think I'd give it 4 out of 5 stars. I hear the final episode of season one is really good so we'll see if I think it's a 5 out of 5. Do u folks like the show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 So when I move into my neighborhood we had a couple excellent Mexican and Texas BBQ restaurants. Over the past seven years most of the fast food and chains moved a few miles down or closed, a few other joints came and went. Now all we have are Mexican and BBQ. But somehow, the competition is making them all better. I'm in a new BBQ place and damn it's going to be tough picking the top brisket from five choices within a couple miles. If I want Mexican I can close my eyes and walk into any of many and be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With my mom being a nurse, I hear about it a lot. So far it seems to be pretty low risk for vaccinated people. Yes, several vaccinated people are getting it, but the illness is very minor. Well over 99% of people dying are unvaccinated. Her hospital has seen an increase in COVID patients, but very few are ending up in the ICU.

There's been a notable surge in number of vaccinations given in the past few weeks. As more and more OAN consumers actually get sick, and unfortunately die, the people around them will start to figure out that OAN isn't being completely honest with them.

An anti vaxx, anti mask, councilman here in Texas died a couple days ago from Covid. I found some of the comments really distasteful that practically cheered his death. I do hope his supporters put a mask on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have someone arguing with me on Facebook that requiring vaccines is a form of "Marshall Law". I keep asking him who Marshall is and he hasn't answered.

Not super psyched for my wife to go teach in rooms full of under-12's and my kids to be back in daycare/preschool full time. Feels like it's just a matter of time at this point before they catch it since they won't be eligible to be vaccinated for at least a few more months. At least my wife's district reinstated mask requirements for everyone after the CDC changed course. I'll say I'm glad we squeezed a couple of road trips and my daughter's birthday party in in late June/early July before things ramped up again.

Our governor is threatening any school district that requires masks with a loss of funding. Dallas ISD is fighting him on it, so we’ll see. My district has already stated we will follow state directions. I’m guessing I will have a good number of unvaccinated, un masked, 18 year olds in my classroom each day.

Meanwhile, a hospital in Houston is back to putting up tents as an overflow for Covid-19 patients because they are getting overwhelmed. Again. Awesome.

Watching WGN this morning, both of my old neighborhoods there got hit. Homes just a block away from our old house were pretty heavily damaged, and the panned over some serious damage to the condo building we used to live in as well. Hope everyone in the area is safe and avoided the worst of the damage. Tornadoes are weird. We happened to be in the area, so we drove down our old block yesterday. Our former house had it's crappy, 30 year old fence knocked down but otherwise looked fine. Half a block up, and several houses were missing half their roof, most of their siding, etc. and some very large, old oaks and maples were destroyed. Very clear east-west straight line through the neighborhood with serious damage, but if you went maybe four or five houses north/south of that line, you'd never know a storm came through.
