Alright. Got a point, so we don't go home empty-handed... Now let's see how the "new" Sabres do in OT

I hope we are the Cubs from 3/4 years ago. One can dream.

Dude needs to pony up a few bucks and hire a Falconer. My buddy is a Falconer (falcon trainer) for a local landfill. The falcons fly around and scare away/kill a few nuisance birds to keep them from the area. Coupled with some pyro and you no longer have a bird problem. The tri-county area I live in has been pushing crows around for awhile, but if you are the one with pyro and falcons, you don't have much to worry about. They are not expensive to hire, and there are more than a few around.

Yeah, what a terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad effort. Not only did everyone look bad and out of place, but also slow and lazy. You would think we were 65 games in and already eliminated. I really hope the team "comes around" as the year progresses, but if it doesn't happen soon it will be too little, too late. Plus being slow and lazy is not generally something that rebounds well.

Perhaps. I did some research to that point. I went back to the 70's, since in my opinion the best decade for music of just about every kind. I looked at several years and yeah, you are right. Very little representation by the "greats" on the year end top 100's. Perhaps great music is like great art of other kinds, destined to only be fully appreciated after the fact. At least we have the internet now, and can access all kinds of stuff. If I rattled off all of my favorite bands still making music, probably most folks would not recognize many of them. "Obscure country" I have been told, so I definitely appreciate music that isn't popular. I guess I just don't understand why good stuff doesn't make the charts. Then I did some more research. Turns out a large majority of the music sold in the US is sold to teens and preteens. They have interest in new music, and no bills= disposable income. Now I get it. They only market to kids. Adults will find and/or already know what they want and search it out, while kids don't, and are more succeptible to being "told" what is good and crave whatever is new.

I agree with you. But my point was, as I said "forefront". Good music is being made, as I also said about Shooter Jennings' record label, specifically for getting Sturgill Simpson to the charts. My point is, for the most part, the good music is getting ignored on the charts. You have to look for it, all while dubstep, edm, rap, pop country, etc is being shoved down our throats at every turn.

That's a great story/program. Cats are also much happier when they have a purpose (just like everyone), and are just plain incredible at killing. That's why big cats are so dang scary. Nowadays I get free cats on craigslist. But it has been a problem on shelters with people who want "mousers" are denied. I went to a shelter with (no BS) 400+ cats. They parted like the red sea when I pulled in, and there were 3 cats on my truck when I came back to it. Anyhow, I was denied a cat because of my wanting it to eat mice. I recued/"adopted" all 5 of my dogs and I am pretty much a perfect candidate otherwise. Glad to see them use sense with these "hard case" cats, I do know that cats get killed in shelters at a much higher rate than dogs. And it's good dogs are kinda dumb, because we pretty much rely on stockholm syndrome to make them love us.

I like cats because they keep varmint from the property. Without the cats, my barn was overrun by squirrels, field mice, opossum, and birds. Enter cats, no more problems. I'm not a "cuddle with kitty" type of person. My dogs live in the house, cats live on the property. I used to say "I hate cats" too, buy now have much respect for their utility.

Haha thanks. Like Archie, sometimes I'm party line, and some times it's parody lines.... Meatheads and dingbats abide. :angel: Now get me a beer. :beer:

Me too. Reinhart should change his address to "opponents goal crease", and just camp out in front of every goalie if it's going to work that well. It was interesting how cognizant he was about being in Subban's sight lines, and obviously effective. Also it frustrated the goaltender, and we know as well as anyone (with Lehner) that a goalie "on tilt" can be less than ideal.

You are right, every great team in any sport relies on players holding each other accountable. I can imagine how badly O'Reilly has played this year, up until last night sort of undermined his ability to do that. He has been lost and useless by his own admission. Hard to be a leader when you clearly need to be led yourself. That's why I think Housley went public with it. Time for the general public, media, and fanbase to hold the team accountable since they have shown they desperately need leadership and accountability. I imagine he is hoping it will spark a player (or more) to bring accountability back in-house, where it's more appropriate and effective. My $.02

I saw this a couple weeks ago while waiting for my account to be activated here. I couldn't wait to watch the video, wholeheartedly expecting to be like "yeah, right. Zep? Not even close"... ...then I watched it. Then listened to some more. Holy it's like someone cloned Plant and Page. Maybe a little Peart mixed in (vocally). You could convince me it they were unheard deep tracks from the legendary Zep, if I hadn't seen those kids singing it with my own eyes. So thanks for sharing. Between what these guys are doing (and storming the charts, 2nd last time I looked), and what Shooter is doing with Saving Country Music; I have renewed faith that real music with real instruments can make it's way back to the forefront. Perhaps even battle this robot seizure garbage that has taken over the "music" scene thess days.

Wow that sucks. Good luck getting the cat back. Hopefully human decency prevails. I am more of a dog person, but have cats.... and taking someones animal is like taking their kid.

I would be showing up at they're front door... And not leaving without the cat. What kind of person won't return an animal they know is somebody else's?

For what it's worth, when I moved in where I am now, I dropped the cat off in the barn a week before we moved in. When we did, I realized sadly the cat had gone. More than 2 months later, I opened the door and to my surprise there was cash (cats name), with a broken tail but back nonetheless. And bigger. Must have been chowing down on field mice. Not sure how city cats do, but in my case he was gone for months, after only being here a few days and still found the way home. They are mighty instinctive. And I would imagine those city rats make an even better meal than tiny cornfield mice.
