In Vietnam, we grunts had to burn shitter barrels regularly. No mention of compensation for that. Of course, we claim Agent Orange exposure for everything. ...
You beat me to it, Vol, this whole story is about hubris and comeuppance. Almost all the characters have their preconceived notions overwhelmed by the distorted nature either they created or assumed to be factual. By the way, Joe Mazzelo turned in a terrific performance as the little nerd kid. H...

Toss some green grass clippings on top and it will compress and heat up the pile and break it down. Can also add torn up chunks of cardboard as well. It all breaks down eventually. They say turning is a big factor. ...

Cloudy and drizzling in eastern Baton Rouge. Can’t even locate the sun. Glad I didn’t waste money on cheap glasses. Expect it will go twilight any minute though. ...
Remember Colorado loss/opener? Lot of fans here commented about disappointment in Haley’s conditioning and lack of quickness. Didn’t get any better. Maybe trainer should have focused on fitness first. ...

Why is the title game not on CBS? What am I missing? TBS? Really? (Women get ABC.) ...

Early losses to Stoney Brook and Xavier should have sent up red flags. Absolutely no consistency hitting, pitching and fielding. Heck, Tommy White and Jared Jones are the only ones making plays and we were worried about them coming into the season. ...

Footfall for something really weird and Lucifer’s Hammer that is more mainstream. Both by the duo of David Pournelle and Larry Niven. ...

Let this fact sink in … Musk is worth more than $60B more than Buffet. Also, I am closer in wealth to Todd Graves’ $9B than Graves is to Elon by a long shot. Funny how figures can indeed lie. ...
SU has beaten LSU three times before. I recall one Jag pitcher threw 200+ pitches one night. ...
Where are you? It’s OK in eastern Baton Rouge. ...
