Charcoal grey T-shirt, since that's what's under my seersucker button-front shirt right now. The tough decision will be pants vs. shorts; I'm wearing my motorcycle "jeans" so I'll have to change into something when I get home.

MrsPie is someone on this track but with museums. The current director of the of the place (Wharton Esherick Museum) was a volunteer 10 years ago, she's hoping she likes it (so far so good) and it'll end up being a job. Also, it's a pretty cool place: http://whartonesherickmuseum.org/

Trump, you've failed me again. Why couldn't it be PA? I'm still going to have to see both sets of commercials on every TV break (even streaming). The commercial showing young girls interspersed with Trump's asinine comments about women's bodies is tough because I don't want my daughter to hear the words coming out of his mouth.

Bind it in a book made of human skin. I think I have a human blood ink cartridge at home to print it out.

I thought it was a Beaut's fiance.

They however gave up shorties on consecutive powerplays to go from 3-1 to 3-3. Never change, Edmo!

Where's Rob Ray when you need him.

To be enlightened, one cannot dwell on the past, nor look to the future. Be present in the now.

Awww, man. I just realized the new Oilers barn has the bench opposite the camera. I'm going to miss that "WTF" moment whenever I turn on one of their home games.

Did I do that right?

I suspect with the news today, a lot of SS posters will have the flu tomorrow.

Could be me, I'm working at least until then.

Sam Bennett watch out, Jack's coming for you.

No way, do you have any idea how toxic burning carbon fiber is?

I can't imagine what the Russian AHL looks like.

The problem I have with this is in some circles any criticism of America provokes this reaction. I won't pretend to know, but my guess a fairly large percent of the people who are complaining now would still be complaining if it didn't involve the flag. I don't think there's a way to say America isn't all it's cracked up to be unless you're a Conservative blaming Liberals for all their problems. That goes doubly if you're a minority complaining about America.

I'll go further: when did the flag become the exclusive property of veterans and the armed forces? Why is it that when someone kneels, the detractors always bring out the veteran angle and disrespect? I'll echo someone's question above: how does Kaep protest that doesn't just end up being a bunch of people yelling about how he doesn't love America and by extension the military.

The best reason to play him is to see if his funk is a funk or if he's really done. It seems like he knows he wasn't good last year and the management agrees. This is it for him, let's see what happens on a scoring line for a bit before writing him off.

I'm in. This'll be a fun distraction until I go broke in early December.

For reference, Coatesville is 15 miles into the Alabama section, but it's very people of color oriented. :) Also I had always heard Kentucky, not Alabama, giving the world the name Pennsyltucky. Realistically, that's most Northern states though. It's not that different than Wyoming County in NY.

I don't think Asheville NC makes sense, but it's a great town. Hillsville VA is nondescript but definitely not deliverance. If you end up there, go to Aunt Bea's BBQ for breakfast. The sausage gravy and biscuits is worth the stop. Disclaimer: I've wandered into that town twice while riding around on the bike. I didn't explore it much but it's a big enough town that it looked normal.

Truth, there's at least one of those every season. Even going back to a 10-5 loss (the only game to finish with that score in NFL history) to the Bucs during the "good Bills" era where the Bucs were terrible but reports are the Bills were out partying the night before. I think that cost the Bills home field in the AFC Championship game in 88, which they lost. Give matcha (Japanese powdered) green tea a shot. It's easy to make cold or hot, and has more caffeine that normal since you're actually consuming the tea itself. One warning is that the Chinese Matcha is apparently higher in lead than Japanese. Still not coffee caffeine levels though. Usually make several pots of loose tea a day, although I re-use the leaves at least once if not more times which mitigates it some.

Nor, BTW, can a Senator initiate bills regarding budgets and taxation, that's a job of the House. Trump really needs to take some 10th grade US Government classes.

No kidding, 11. We're all the island of misfit toys here, it's cool; like family.

It's easier to frame things as Liberal and Conservative, as those tend to hold meaning better than the party names. A quick timeline of the parties: Lincoln was a Republican. The Union won the Civil War. The South is all, "we hate Republicans, Democrat 4-eva" Northern Democrats in the 60s: "Hey, this whole segregation thing doesn't jive with the 14th Amendment (equal protection)." Southern Democrats (Dixiecrats): Umm, what do we do now? Minorities being treated like humans will be the end of the world. Republicans: Hey, you guys want to come vote for us? We'll listen to you. Former Southern Democrats: Sounds good.
