He's been absent all series. I was watching the penalty box as the time went out. Saw that shot coming. Lightning are running out of horses.
There are a LOT of skinny DBs/WRs running the fields now because of spread offense in college.

doing research, Dicamba will for sure knock it out but it may affect my St. Aug. 2,4-D will work and be safer on St. Aug, although I may need to make more than one application.

Down goes New Jersey. 52 SOG and losing due to a shitty double minor penalty.

Louisiana will take them. Call them the Magnolias. Nicknamed "The Mags", something something gun magazines in New Orleans.

How big of a lot are we talking? Gas and electric both serve a purpose. I got the carbon fiber EGO weed eater with a 4.0 Ah battery that also lasts a good bit of time in my push mower when necessary. I believe i can get at least 45 minutes weedeatig on double. Need to check the specs.

This is clearly a message from the league. Not upset but 2 games is horseshite when Hagel unnecessarily made a goon strike on Barkov miles away from the puck, when Barky is not even the type of player who deserves those hits.
I preferred mashed since a baked potato can be a pain to eat, even though I will also eat the skin. Mashed also offers more options for eating. I can do without gravy, mix with veggies, and do skin on/off.

Ottawa playing with their backs against the wall but idk if they have the horses to keep up another 3 games.

Hey I think the world of teachers and many deserve more than what they make for dealing with these kids, but a third of my property tax bill goes to EBR schools & my kid is in private school so this doesn’t benefit me.


While I get where you're coming from in a way, you have to understand that if you have less educated people walking around, that directly impacts your life and the life of your children. I too will likely vote no on any proposed tax increase given that the current EBRSB is run by morons, but the sentiment that just because you aren't receiving direct benefits from paying for a public school doesn't actually make sense.

In theory your taxes would benefit you in all avenues because you have more educated citizens making better choices, reducing liability because they are able to make better/smarter choices in their lives, etc. Just because you are technically paying for another kid to go to school doesn't mean you don't benefit from it.

I will try to get pics up at some point. It is above where our water main passes through, which is fully functioning but it has a dip in the soil, so whenever it does rain it will pool up. I have tried leveling in the past but may need to do it again over in that patch. We have been mowing higher than in the past and grass is finally looking healthier but this area of the lawn is definitely staying wet. Lots of tree coverage and only gets morning sun.

Just checked and BR will be receiving ran between tomorrow through Saturday with low 80s as the high and high 70s as the low.

I have dollarweed (or at least its cousin) in big patches on my yard. Best remedy? I have Clegg's cocktail ingredients.

I wasn't happy with the hit. It was clearly meant to harm and not in the way the sport would intend. Ekblad made up for the bonehead play on the tying goal but I would not be surprised if he getd suspended. It could get nasty of the game gets out of hand.

Still in disbelief the Panthers managed to hold Tampa to one or two shots on that 5 min power play.
from the website ShreveportTimes:

But supporters of the program pushed back, including those who operate inspection stations.

"We have a lot of integrity," said Kathy Slavant, whose family has operated an inspection station in Walker for 25 years. "That's not true."

Neal Underwood, who represents the Louisiana Motor Vehicle Station Inspection owners, said crashes and fatalities have risen in states where inspection sticker programs have been eliminated.

"It's all about the safety of vehicles on the road," said Underwood, who also suggested scrapping the program could cause insurance rates to rise in the state.

I’d like to hear the arguments for keeping inspection stickers

One of the rebuttals I remember reading was that some businesses survive because the inspection stickers exist.

This is a governmental money laundering system because there's no reason a business should profit from a government-issued mandate on vehicle inspections.
