Why bother?

If Miami does not tap the receiver down with 1 tick left on the clock there is no doubt this game ends in an overtime tie. 2 huge stinker teams.

I'm 63 and I still go down to the crossroads. I'm collecting SS, working as a well fed artist and still ponder future aspirations quite often. I will say this, you're way ahead of me- when I was a 29 I was managing a Hooters in Jax. FL!

Yep, it's good that I now have the peace of mind that it was a very small "mass" that the doc could not pinch off. She said it was so small to just watch it and if it gets bigger or seems to be aggravating him bring him back and in and they'll knock him out and excise. And clean his molars. On another note I did discover that Whoa Black Betty Bam a Lam McNulty is a rare pure breed Bombay (no parental history for full confirm). When we moved to our new house 7 years ago he showed up out of the woods about 6 months after we moved in and worked his way into the household after we had him cleaned up and fixed. They estimated he was less than a year old. We guess that someone abandoned him as he knew all about a can opener after he moved in.

<Chuckie>Hey Tirico! Hey Tirico, where are ya?</Chuckie> Tirico weighs in: “I should weigh in a little bit here because I was with Jon at that time, seven years as my partner on Monday Night Football. I probably know Jon better than anyone in the league on a personal level. He said already that he was ashamed by the comments in the e-mail. The comments in the e-mail are wrong. But, my experience kind of parallels Tim Brown, who played for Jon and is a Hall of Fame receiver. He said he never experienced or saw anything that would say Jon was racist in any way. That is exactly the experience I had in seven years of traveling, three days together on the road every week.”

Question for indoor only cat guys: How often do you take them in for a vet visit? I have a 7 year old I'm taking in tomorrow to have a weird scab that won't go away looked at. He had all his initial vax and boosters a year later but we've had no reason to bring him back in the last 5 years. I'm wondering if they'll press me to give him more vax/boosters and not sure I want him to get another kitty leukemia booster.

At the time I did not know such a ridiculous rule existed and it was a live frustrating moment of a very intense game.

Unfortunately, the rule is terrible and needs to be changed. The two bases need to be awarded at time of crossing out of the field. Not reverting to pitch contact. There were a couple other egregiously bad calls- Margot's steal at second and obstruction of Arozarena rounding first when he was tripped. Not too mention the heinous plate expanding strike zone. That's ok. Rays ain't done. Not our first rodeo up on the ropes.

So a ball bounces off the wall then off Renfroe's chest back over the wall. Yandi Diaz rounded third and more than halfway home. He has to go back. That is a total travesty and should be the worst embarrassment of the year for the horrific umpiring we've endured this year. Get rid of these fat ####s!

You must have missed last week.

He's working pretty hard now to get everyone vaxed: Biden, Awaiting an OSHA Rule, Urges Companies to Require Vaccinations Biden Urges Private Employers to Require Covid Vaccines Biden says vaccine mandates are the only way to defeat the virus. The White House says it will spend $1 billion to increase the supply of rapid at-home tests.

Heard a great interview with him on Howard. Buying the new book.

That's a handsome young guy. I'm in between doggers and debating adopting another, I want an old guy that nobody wants from the shelter...

An old man popped in on me the other day too. It was me in the mirror. I took the dough and didn't look back.

Midnite Mass is leading us to Halloween. As a raised Catholic I was terrified by the Exorcist when I read it at a young age and then saw the eventual movie, also terrifying. When we started watching the series I told my wife, "uh oh, a religious horror 7 part series? I don't know if I can make it." Well, if you can make it through 3 episodes you will not look back. The acting is superb. It's scary. It's cerebral. A light bulb will go off and you're like, WTF? It does have some slow moments of long dialogue but the ending of each episode has killer rewards.
