    It ended at a gas station when the RCMP finally caught up with the jackass shooter.  They shot him dead while he was getting ready to blow it up.  That gas station is about 25 KM from our house ... the one on the ocean and not in the city ... it is only about 15KM from our house in the city ... if he had blown up that gas station who knows what kind of damage it would have done.  It is on the main highway to and from Halifax and it's right beside the airport.  It's the biggest gas station in Nova Scotia, maybe even in all of Atlantic Canada.

    Really glad you're safe.

    Simple, I did not submit for it.

    I thought you get it regardless if you fit one of the criteria???  I will get it but I don't need it (and for other reasons, I frankly don't want it)..  I would have liked the ability to decline it and put it back in the pool to increase the amount for those that really need it.  Now I have to get it, cash it, donate it, and hope it gets to the people that need it most.  Would have rather not have to be the middle man.

  3. This could go in many threads, but I chose this one because it is Thursday.  Those slimy Pats.  Check out what they show on the video feed directly behind the goalposts when the opponent attempts a field goal (top pic), and what they show when they are attempting a field goal (bottom pic).  Notice the skewed visual for the opponent.  Illegal, no, slimy YES.  The Pats culture of SLIME.  It permeates everything they do.

    Possibly.  Maybe all the firings will lead to bringing in people who don't screw up every single player/fan event that ever happens.  I know one thing. I don't trust their ability to judge personnel, at all.  

    People please save me the "they got the Bills right" nonsense.  They were fortunate and I'm nowhere near convinced that McDermott is anything more than a good defensive coordinator.  

    I agree with 90% of your post.  But I think McDermott has changed the culture in 3 years and deserves credit.  That's more leadership than just a good coordinator possesses.  If you've ever tried to get 90+ guys to buy in  to what you're preaching, there's more to it than just x's and o's on one side of the ball..

    Pay Larry 4Mx3, put him between Skinner and Okposo. Boom, 2C solved! Kahun-Asplund-MoJo 3rd. Thompson-Lazar-Cozens/Simmonds 4th. Then, for depth, let Vesey walk, but trade our 2022 3rd round pick to get him back again. It's the circle of life!

    Hard to pay Larry $4 million.  If Larry is worth $4 million, Sam's gonna want $8 million.

    There is a world-wide oil glut.  This only works in a functioning worldwide economy.  (It does not even need to be robust.)  Thus, his net worth has taken a big hit.

    You are correct about the glut.  But Peg sold mostly land (and it's corresponding gas rights) to make his fortune.  I assume he diversified his investments so a tanking gas market would be mitigated.  I'm throwing a little shade at Peg because of how smug he was when he made the "I'll just drill another well" comment.  Sort of tone deaf for a Buffalo community.  

  7. I'm a big KANSAS fan but rarely find bass covers entertaining.  This guy nails Magnum Opus (one of my favorite songs).  This song starts slowly but goes crazy about half way through.  I just found this guy mesmerizing,
