re: Something happened on I-55 this morning
Posted by OldCat55 on 8/3/26 at 5:09 pm to LivingstonLaw
I was caught up in the i-55 traffic jam. Everyone had to exit at Independence and take 51 to Tickfaw where they could get back on 55. No police working traffic light in Tickfaw. So, the traffic light caused stop and go traffic on 51 from it to Lallie Kemp hospital in Independence.
I left my house at 7:50 and made it to North Oaks at 9:41. This is normally a 30 minute drive.
It was a very tiring experience.

I once woke up on a pool table at the Cate Street Cantina after a long night of walking downtown Hammond looking for lizards n shite. Old Dr Sheppard’s class.

Still amazed at your paint jobs. I wish I had the patience/skill to do the same level work. Very nice once again!

I started seeing them mid June. It freaks people out when I tell them I ride my mower through a nesting area with a100 or so flying around. They buzz around but pretty much ignore me. They’ve completely taken over the hill behind my deck.

I’ve been waiting on this one. Great job
Somehow came down with salmonella. I’m pretty obsessive about cross contamination and keep everything clean including my hands. Couldn’t come up with anything iffy that I had eaten. Lots of toilet paper used.
And I would commend you for your efforts sir

I switched from DTV satellite to DTV streaming 4 months ago. I was a satellite customer for 30 years. I have not had any Gemini issues so far.
DTV streaming is all Internet. It just has the stations numbered the same so it is very similar to the satellite service. When you turn it on, it goes to the Direct TV stream by default. There’s an APPS button on the remote that lets you access any apps you want to download.
You don’t need a Gemini to use the steam service. Direct TV has an app you can use on a Roku, Apple TV, smart tv, etc

Popeye’s made in restaurant biscuits. No hockey puck subs allowed.
I assumed that the outs mentioned were from the beginning of the play when the batter swung.
By listing zero as the first number in the quoted sentence, the poster had to be assuming number of outs at the beginning of the play. But, you are correct. At the time of the tag/send, there were 2 outs.

Had there been zero, or one out, then the send would have been bad. Being there were two outs, the send was perfectly fine.

There was 1 out. If it was two outs, the pop up would have ended the inning with no throw home necessary. The send resulted in an inning ending double play.

Did not know this or about the charging station. Thanks guys.
FYI
Thermapen Ones in Green and Yellow are currently on sale for $74, all other colors are $115. My wife ordered me one as my original Thermapen died a couple of weeks ago.

Sounds like a Gemini for DTV Streaming Service. I switched from having DTV satellite, since 1995, to DTV Streaming in February. The ‘box’ for that is a small dongle thing and the remote is all gray with an ‘Apps’ button in the bottom right.
ETA: streaming DVR is cloud based. Streaming service has been great so far.

re: What can you tell my about Oak Forest in Amite

The guy in charge is from Amite and went to school there from the info they gave me.
The headmaster is from Amite, Drew Misita. The other guy being talked about is Phil Junkins. He is the head football coach and I believe Dean of Students. He is not the headmaster. Misita was the previous head coach and decided he couldn’t do both jobs and give 100% to each.
ETA: I was associated with OFA closely for several years. The headmaster/dean of students arrangement was current then. They also had an elementary principal. I think they may have changed to having a HS principal. So, the Junkins guy could be a principal. However, Misita is the guy in charge of the entire campus. Everyone answers to him. He answers to the board.
