I am 100% opposed to CRT. QLED/LCD gives a much brighter picture, is lighter, cheaper, more environmentally friendly to make and uses less than 30% of the power. The max practical resolution a CRT can give is 1024 x 768 at 120 Hz and that screen would have to be at least 36".

I'm the exact opposite. Everything that happened 20 years ago was like just the other day.

Well is sounds like something he'd say. And he did live there for a time. I'd bet he's be an interesting guy to share a drink and cigar with. BTW, is it just me or is a woman who can identify a safety blitz or know what a suicide squeeze is strike you as incredibly sexy?

I believe it was Mark Twain who said the coldest winter he'd ever known as one summer in San Francisco.

Hey look what the cat dragged in! Nice to see you back Alan!

Today I am doing no work, taking no calls, etc. Baseball starts today and I'll be parked in front of the TV. Well, it actually started yesterday. G & I watched the Brew Crew lose to the Cubs but it was a great game.

Your boys are going down today @Hurlshot

Hey I had one of those once!

Why does anyone give a f--k what Disney thinks about anything? And why do they feel the need to go after them for thinking it? They can pout and protest all they want. Florida is still going to do Florida things. Disney's corporate opinion on anything counts for f--k all in the real world so why is this worth fighting over?

No matter how bad one guys was there is someone else out there who is worse! Even Trump. I'd have a hard time imagining a worse candidate but that doesn't mean there isn't one.

Obama to return to White House to celebrate health care reform Ummm.... as long as he's there... any chance we could keep him? Don't get me wrong, I had zero use for Obama as President. But he was not the disorganized s--t show the Biden Admin has been.

Don't know about the rest of the guys but I found a blonde haired blue eyed Nordic beauty hanging around a horsebarn.

Added to my "to do" list

Don't sell yourself short. Maybe you'll be racing in front of them!

It's f---g SNOWING again. April 1st, spring time, baseball is starting in a week and it's f---g SNOWING! Winter isn't coming. It never leaves!

This is exceptionally cool! Hubble sees most distant star ever, 28 billion light-years away

That Mencken was right when he said “As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.” Nailed it 80 years before it happened!

Doh! You guys are right. I forgot about the B-52. I was off by 15 years!

Trust comes hard to people who have lost it. People who have been hard used in the past expect it in the future. I read a book once that said people only accept the love they feel they deserve. But I think anything can be worked through.

US Marines transitions from Harrier to F-35B The Harrier is, if I'm not mistaken, the longest serving fixed wing airframe in the history of US military aviation. Even longer than the Catalina. Obviously there have been numerous versions of it since it's first deployment in the sixties. On another not it's extremely cool to see VMA-214 is still around. That unit is legendary among the "wingers".

New relationships in middle age is like trying to renovate an old house. It might have looked good on the outside and there was definite curb appeal but once you are in you have to find and repair all the damage done by the previous residents. And sometimes it's a lot of damage. Leaky pipes behind the drywall. Asbestos in the attic. Cracked foundation. Not that it isn't worth fixing. But sometimes you wonder if you even can.

If you read one Saxon book you've read them all. I swear some of the text was cut and pasted between books.

@GorthHey we made it to the Rugby Sevens WC finals several times. Now the actual Rugby WC, that is a different story. In fact I suspect the FIFA Team USA could beat the Rugby Team USA.... in rugby! But our women's team could beat them both. In EITHER sport!

USA USA USA.... wait.... which world cup is this? FIFA? Oh... never mind.
