Or, you know, she's just hot.

I’ve been hearing it for at least thirty years to this point. Its on a UP / BNSF spur decommissioned in the early’ ‘90s, and the rumors have been there at least that long, but they only formall announced plans last year.

Ghosty, your thread is 🔥

There’s going to be a light rail station a mile away from me which will be awesome because the light rail could theoretically get me everywhere in LA…. But it’s 10 years away at the earliest.

I don’t prefer it to walking or other modes of transportation, like bicycling, but I don’t hate it. It’s one of those thing Angelenos have to do whether we like it or not. I occasionally drive a box truck around and that can be interesting because it forces you to be more methodical about preparation before you go out driving. Also, the periodic road trip can rejuvenate enthusiasm for driving because of the scenic vistas and the intimate relationship between driver and open road.

Let me see…..

Stanbury was still making all wool uniforms in early ‘80’s, but that’s not to say polyester wasn’t used elsewhere. Before that time, you didn’t really see as many polyester wool blends like we have since. A big reason for that is polyester has evolved as a material in the past 50 or so years, making it more versatile. I would imagine your uniforms weren’t particularly forgiving.

You don’t want a beat off in the family. Flutes don’t get a whole lot of appreciation, but that’s a difficult instrument to play given nobody can hear you on the field. Mad respect. Anyway, he should be a trumpet.

No, it’s not the uniform… it’s everything it touches. Back in the day, uniforms were wool which breathe. In the past thirty years, they’ve added more polyester, either a blend or outright, and those uniforms trap everything like a tent. Everything you’re wearing underneath starts smelling like sweat and mold. It’s hella nasty.

Flutes get a bad rap… usually because of the clarinets. I just meant stale uniform musk permeates everything. My duffel still smells like it 20 years on.

lol. Yeah that checks out.

Wait… he’s in a band?

Happy Birthday @Insipid, @my-name-here, and @Hidden

Ironically, home repair is the opposite of adulting for me, only partially because it’s part of what I do. The truth is even something as boring as sewer repair involves expensive tools, so I end up playing with toys and pretending like I had to work hard to accomplish something. Adulting to me is having to talk to a guy who’s padding his time card.

This doesn't seem like breaking news.

That was a long-ass baseball game.

It's purported to be the most devastating hurricane to ever hit Jamaica.

It’s time for Woody to go. If you drag a player and he has to be the one to take the abuse and the high road, you’ve lost the team.

Rental kickers and rental defenses are like a thing in my brother’s league.

That thing looks really complicated for an ice cream machine.

There you have it. These guys are really taking pleasure in you being wrong. That’s rough.

One way to find out… Hey @[classic swim]… do you secretly hate my guts?

Mountain Dew has gotten better. It used to be pretty awful.

Classic vodka martini because it's clean and it doesn't interfere with whatever you're about to eat. Recently and thanks to my gf, I've started to get old fashions to start.
