I believe I know the shop you are talking about. We've been in there too.

We used to go to Thirsty Thursday all of the time in Augusta when I was stationed there. It used to be $1.

I just got off the phone with one of my employees. He said he received his revised letter and it was a $27,000 pay cut. And this is my best hardware technician. The Government is going to lose a lot of people.

My Dad and I were just talking about how stupid the USPS operation is sometimes today.

I had to send a letter to Boston certified First Class for him.

The letter made it to our local hub, got to the Boston hub, got sent back to the local hub, then left the local hub en route to who knows where.

It was initially mailed 2 weeks ago today.

Reaching kids through sports gives me a common ground to get to them.

I just had a meeting with my summer baseball coaches for the high school age league I run. We spent more time laughing and telling stories than anything. Having guys that like, that are here for the right reasons helps. If I had 51 spring baseball coaches like them, I wouldn't have problems. Two of the best men I know.
Sorry I couldn’t get back to you sooner. If the stories and the friendships make it worthwhile I am truly happy for you. And being able to combine something you like is a big plus.

Don’t know whether you are aging yourself or has it inflation really gotten that bad.

Has nobody ever started a Ruth v. Ohtani thread?

How many Jordan v. LeBron threads have there been?

I've never caught 1. I did have a hit 2 seats over from me when I had a section to myself at a mid day elimination game at a NCAA regional game between GA Southern and some random school. It was over 100 that afternoon, and I didn't even move to get it.

When I was working security checking bags at the home plate entrance to the stadium 4 came over the roof and I heard them bounce so it was easy getting them. Today I was working the 3rd base stairs and could’ve had 3 if I left my post. The one I did get went whizzing past my hand and bounced right back to me after hitting a wall. I have never caught one it’s always been bounce backs or ricochets.
