The Hall of Fire

Oh, I'm sorry. Yes, we are fine. I didn't realize that was not a familiar term (in less 'red' parts of the county). Here's the Wikipedia definition. We were at a stop light perpendicular to the truck so the people behind him got most of it. It was also much thicker and darker than in this video beca...

Yeah, I think I saw that piece. Polling doesn't always accurately predict elections.

“A token of our appreciation”

This was tricky, and I'm pretty sure it must be US Centric! I don't know what it was--with a couple exceptions, it's certainly not how I remember things. Either they're doing some wordplay that went over my head, or things have changed since the last time I checked. Are the two of you referring to ...

We saw 3 bald eagles today, which is quite something for this area. Two were a nesting pair and the other we saw glide over us as we were biking. They really must be making a come-back.

“Pour it on”

I have all sorts of comments I could make, but I'll leave it at this: ahahaahahhhhhhaaàhhhaaa

A distinction between a reporter and a journalist, perhaps? In my humble opinion, a reporter is an information gatherer, an observer. They give us the nightly news. Local news. Weather.

Al, the Strands Inanna was referring to had a clue of 'call me'.

“Call me?”



Inanna, I found the clue puzzling as well. I'll give you another clue.

I don't have satellite service/don't listen to Howard Stern's show, but from interviews I've seen, he's gone through therapy and he's not quite the 'shock jock' he once was.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., on the other hand...

You had a good day Al!

Your comments remind me of this article I read.

"We say very clearly that rural America is hurting. But we refuse to justify attitudes that some scholars try to underplay."
