Just stumble down to the Promenade, dodge the latest 80-year old who "accidentally" mowed down a dozen or more people in his car, sidestep the hari krishnas, and find a bar to park in.
 I thought it was great. shurgJust watched Argo with the missus. A decent film? Yes. I liked it. A Best Picture? Really? Was it a weak year or has the Academy just thrown away the 2 cents of credibility it had left?

My GB had his screen door stolen from the front of his house once.Anyone ever hear of a thief stealing a car door? Literally, the driver side door just gone and everything else left as is?
Happened to my sister. In Detroit. Yesterday. Not sure why they wouldn't just take the whole car. Never heard of anything like it.My GB had his screen door stolen from the front of his house once. From a car? No, seems fishy.Anyone ever hear of a thief stealing a car door? Literally, the driver side door just gone and everything else left as is?

RIP Macho ManI really don't like how slim jims switched from a tear wrapper to a peel wrapper. The peel just never works.
That can't be Mrs Frosty approved. You got a secret stash?I really don't like how slim jims switched from a tear wrapper to a peel wrapper. The peel just never works.

  , looking at the box scores, and I can't figure this out -Not if there were two outs + an error in the inning before the HR was hitI'm, looking at the box scores, and I can't figure this out -
It says Strassburg served up a HR, but he had 0 earned runs.
How's that possible? He had to get at least 1 ER, right?

Shhh, it's not a slim jim. The reason it's a peel wrapper is because Mrs. Frosty peels them away and replaces the beef with tree bark, then sticks the wrappers back together.You a big Slim Jim guy?I really don't like how slim jims switched from a tear wrapper to a peel wrapper. The peel just never works.
I felt the same. Lincoln and even End of Watch were both better IMO.Just watched Argo with the missus. A decent film? Yes. I liked it. A Best Picture? Really? Was it a weak year or has the Academy just thrown away the 2 cents of credibility it had left?

I deserved this. I hang my head in shame until I can counter.
Do any Pollacks live nearby? I hear they like to steal them when the weather gets hot so they can roll the window down.Anyone ever hear of a thief stealing a car door? Literally, the driver side door just gone and everything else left as is?

I understand now. He should have been out of the inning, but an error kept him pitching.

Uni> Stu is probably too hungover/AIDS-up to be awake yet, so he is going to need you to comment on the Phoenix show from Coachella. Thanks GB.
 
   I actually did catch the Phoenix set on the online stream though.  Not a big fan of theirs but it ####### rocked, lots of energy.  Towards the end the lead singer crowd surfed pretty deep into the crowd, looked like a ton of fun.  Wish I had been there.

my vacation
After eight weeks without a day off and finally getting a new couple in place as house managers, I decide to run down to the coast with a buddy for a little r and r. It was 80 degree when when left- a beautiful day. Within an hour we caught up with a slow moving cold front. The temp dropped to 48 with rain showers. That stayed with us all the way to the coast and remained until past noon on Thur.
The whole drive down and the next day, I spent no less than five hours on the phone handholding the new managers and re-explaining every thing pertaining to everything little freaking thing in the world with every possible permutation I finally decide I need to fish at least a little bit and sooth my troubled mind.
I sit in a nice chair I carried down to the jetties with a bucket of mud minnows. I bait up and cast into the bay, with my phone in my lap to deal with the next crisis that really isn't. My hook settles into some rocks and becomes firmly snagged. I stand up to try and free it and end up breaking the line. I reel it in and attach a new hook and go to get another minnow and notice that the phone must have fallen out of my lap and was now in the minnow bucket full of salt water.
The plus side was that I would not be interrupted any more, the down side was that I needed to go buy another phone. So we just packed up and left the next morning and get home Saturday early evening.
This morning the new managers quit.
