@Quirt-Evans Would that put the Ethics Committee report back into play, then?

Yikes! Well, I guess I was right to make a fuss about it then! 😁

🆒 )

@Big_Al I will try to get there and take some pictures, too.

I looked up the obit for the owner (the listing said it was an estate sale). I can just imagine the parties that were held in that house.

Wheeling Township Cemetery, where he is buried, is a little cemetery just a block from his house.

Ooh good tips, thanks!

I met a couple that lives south of Tucson in Green Valley in the winter and in Flagstaff in the summer.
Flagstaff/NASU is at 7000 ft. Phoenix/ASU is at 1086 ft. Average 4 degrees per 1000 feet. 6 x 4 =

@Steve-Miller said in It's a miracle:

Sharon’s grandparents got their whole house replied after an incident like yours.

Their old galvanized plumbing system had nearly closed shut with corrosion over the years and then a bunch of sand got pumped in when a contractor hit the water main in the street.

Contractor’s insurance company paid to repipe the entire house in shiny new copper pipe!

Cool beans!

We have copper already, but I grew up in a house with galvanized pipe so I know the issues. A lot of the houses in the subdivision had already been replumbed, but my Mom sold it before hers needed it.

🤣

What started as a press conference on future presidential debates quickly spiraled into Donald Trump venting about media coverage of his rival and insisting that his rally crowds — especially in South Carolina — are bigger.

"I have hundreds of thousands of people," Trump declared at his lectern Aug. 8. "In South Carolina, I had 88,000 people.

But as the former president stood before reporters, he fumed.

"Nobody's had crowds like I have, and you know that. And when she gets 1,000 people and everybody starts jumping. You know that if I had 1,000 people (you) would say, people would say, 'That's the end of his campaign,' " he said.

That's when he claimed he draws hundreds of thousands of people, including an 88,000-person rally in South Carolina.

But the rally Trump appeared to be referencing wasn't a rally at all. It was a football game.

The former president seemed to be mentioning his Nov. 25 appearance at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia for the state's biggest college football spectacle of the year: the Clemson-South Carolina football matchup.

The game was not a Trump campaign rally. It's a college duel that takes place every year.

His appearance was brief.

Trump walked onto the field, standing at the 25-yard-line with Gov. Henry McMaster. Loud cheers greeted him along with scattered boos. Trump waved to fans and the student section.

He made no remarks. He just smiled and waved.

Bakari Sellers, a former South Carolina lawmaker who is now a well-known political commentator on CNN, ripped into Trump for his claim.

"Donald Trump is lying. In South Carolina he did not have 88,000 people," Sellers wrote on social media. "He showed up to a Carolina-Clemson game. Hell, I was there!!"

@Jodi said in It's about my age:

Such a pretty color.

I thought so, too! It's a happy color and it made me smile when I saw it.

Ahhh. I guess you're off the hook then. 😁

My dad retired from his factory job after he had done it for 30 years. Within a year he was working full time selling motorcycles at a Harley Davidson dealership. He has been there for more than 20 years now (he is 73). He went to part time last year, making it the first time in over 50 years he hadn’t worked 6 day weeks.

Meanwhile, my retirement date is February 1, 2033. I will be 57. While I may not retire at the end of that school year, I am doing a lot to make sure I CAN (financially) if I wish to. The younguns can have my job if they want it!

No, just lunch at the train station.

Our guide on the city tour told us that everyone there used to say y’unz but that switched to y’inz some time in the 80’s. 😎

I had never heard of y’unz. Or y’inz.

@Big_Al said in Interesting fan installation:

I might ask why it was installed that way, but it by itself wouldn't frighten me too much.

Not me. I have trust issues.

@Piano-Dad said in The Charlotte Observer calls out Trump:

I will never vote for anyone with an "R" by their name for the rest of my life.

Abe Lincoln may reincarnate.

Then again, if Lincoln were alive today, he may choose to have "D" next to his name anyway.

Quirt and I live in different universes of perception. Some things never change.

At the current rate women will achieve equality in 300 years. https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/gender-equality/

What would it take to do it in the US in 10 years?

@dolmansaxlil yeah, it could work with two, but would not be as much fun.
