North Buffalo

Hard for me to watch remembrances of that day... I was working for the Senate Leadership that day and after watching NYC for what seemed like hours I had work to do on the Senate Floor... upon coming back I decided to take a front stairway up in the US Capitol to gaze down the mall. It was beautiful day... Immediately noticed black smoke billowing out of the Pentagon and a white trailer near the White House thinking that isnt good... Rush back to my desk in the Hart Bldg where my the girlfriend now wife was calling me as she had just felt the explosion from her office in Arlington Red Cross Blood services and saw the fireball from her windows and that another plane in the air headed for me... grabbed 2 people and rushed out in my truck taking back roads to 295 in MD down to the Wilson Bridge. Cars we coming to a complete stop looking both ways and then flying over the bridge... We went and hung out a local steakhouse and then my apt where we watched f16s fly treetop over 495 shaking to apt every 15-20 min... at the restaurant we me two guys who walked all the way from DC because 14th street bridge was shut down... A month later I got hit by Anthrax... Oct 19... That fall I will never forget and my head pivots every time I hear a low flying jet. One of our press secretaries was running late due to a sick kid... wasnt listening to the radio... had no idea the goings on but saw the plane go right over the Capital and thought someone's going to be trouble... plane must have looped and hit far side of Pentagon... The reason so few were killed that day in the Pentagon was that it was moving day... they were reinforcing that side and had just finished half of it... I know this because a coworkers brother was an officer and had just moved into the the reinforced section... he was blow against the wall according to his brother but survived.... Sorry if I cant watch the ceremonies... too hard.... know some folks who did not make it as well...

Think he was referring to Notre Dame goalie that went west

So for some reason I cant access this league says an error?

Yeh im tired and working a double today oof

Jesse Pegula won her second round match at the US Open... got to watch it as my wife and I had tickets for a couple of weeks. She hadn't been to one in 35 years we saw the number 3 player in the world, a German, destroy a Spaniard in 3 sets... he was serving at 135 miles an hour.

Boy or girl... you sleep when the baby does... it does get better but the first few months are rough.

Have friends leaving TX coming back to NY over covid

With an iphone it is optional, especially when I am tired At it again. 😜

Put this in swesome thread but felt it needed to be posted here too... from Josie:

Josie at it again on twitter: Rick Jeanneret

Had this discussion with a former marine this past weekend... hero meh just doing my job... could use some more time off and free coffee.

My latest deep dive favorite when I am bored at night. Brass Against... they use a variety of singers but Sophia Urista is brilliant...

IMO Zegras is more than a flashy perimeter player. Yes he is a great passer with speed, but I think you sell him short on his desire and ability to go to the net. Whether he is a fit in Buffalo... hey that is a fair question. But I know his Dad... tough bulldog build... his younger brother is a highly regarded wrestler who just graduated, I forget what college he is going to... I get McTavish is a big tough guy with some skill... again it is a balance on any team. If the Sabres can get both great... I think they need both... but don't sell Zegras short on toughness.

My wife sold her tickets to a big concert in Nashville once the spike went out and I really want to see live music, but I guess I have to wait til this latest surge dies down.... not happy about it, but given all I have seen the last year and the lack of safety in crowds I am not taking the risk.

I too have heard of problems regarding clots with J&J, not sure how serious it is or wide spread, but it is an issue. J&J has had other issues as a company recently and I am not sure they are trustworthy. I haven't heard of many people getting J&J around me so I am not sure I have any first hand knowledge, but England shut it down for a while as well as other countries. It appears to occur in only certain people, but haven't seen any more information recently on the issue.

Jack gotta be upset by Josh's contract...

more dis/misinformation

yes

I have no idea... but probably would be good sooner than later... cant tell behind all the hyperbole what is realistic.
