Frustrating that you can't find anyone who has read the book. My wife and son never read it and in fact the book made the banned list in 1986.
I read it in HS and yesterday I called a buddy of mine from our school and we got a good laugh about Trump and convention attendees wearing their Red Badge of Courage minus the blood.
I won't spoil it for anyone who hasn't read it.
My team of one is hanging in there. Looking at those pot bunkers I didn't realize the Germans bombed that far north. lol.
You should take your act on the road. DJ was solid on D yesterday turning a nice DP then the last out in the inning 5-3.
Cortes isn't fooling anyone with the way he is pitching right now. Boone is going to play DJ every day hoping he can find his groove again. I don't know why Grisham is on the team when Jones can play OF.
Boone's daily lineups are looking like an Abbott and Costello routine. I don't know how you build consistency when players don't know if they are playing, what position they are playing and where they are batting in the lineup.
And of course Cashman hasn't made a move with the trade deadline approaching.
Volpe is a Gold Glove SS batting .248. Now tell me who the heck would you replace him?
In case you haven't noticed 5 of the 6 division leaders are in a slump.
Mets are barely in the WC race.
Any reason why this guy continues to bat last?

Cortes gives up a 3 run HR in the 4th so they bring him out in the 5th to give up 2 more.
Blake's tablet must be showing the blue screen of death.
The USGA Open and British Open are my 2 favorite majors. The courses are set up to play to scratch and good luck trying to be more than 10 under after 4 days.
Though I am a Wild Turkey drinker this weekend the drink of choice is a single malt scotch.
Did you find anything different than what was posted elsewhere?
I learned my lesson with PCBM and contributed a $1000 to the cause and that was enough for me. Though I did follow it's downfall and watched the whole Lambo insanity and CMKX which was the penultimate insanity.
Sprinkled in was the Orange County Broker who made a play for all the Ihub brokerage business. He seemed like a nice guy but I stayed with my brokerage and sadly he passed away.
After that I lost interest in penny stocks and following the boards as well. I developed a new hobby of chatting on a daily basis with Scion, making money and playing golf more often.
Yankees and Cole win. But so did the Orioles.
All the division leaders are slumping right now except for the Astros. Pirates have won 5 in a row and moving up.
Did you start watching the golf channel during the heat wave?

Yankees entering precarious trade deadline territory with too many roster holes again

Waiting for Godot. lol.
Are you familiar with the term clusterF?
By now I would hope that many people would have learned long ago that convincing penny stock owners who got sucked in by pumpers have been scammed. And convincing them otherwise is fruitless.
So the question is why bother anymore?
Round up the usual suspects.
T was the stock to own way back when as they were the only game in town. When they broke up T into the baby Bells the town in NC I live in had its own phone company. They received protection to continue on their own with the caveat that they could not charge more than Bell South. For cable access we had Time Warner(after a couple of years of DSL) Remember the Utility / phone company owns the poles which in our case was the town. And in our development the right of way for underground service. And Time Warner was the only company interested in the market.
And since our little phone company didn't offer cellphone service they teamed up again with AT&T who was now in the cell business to offer us cellphone service at a discount.
So I received 2 bills, one for cable and the other for the home phone and cellphones which was billed by the local phone company. And that is how I became an AT&T cellphone customer. I was happy with AT&T until they bailed on the deal with my phone company and closed their office in town. And yes their service sucked at the beach.
Mean while Spectrum the evil cable company bought out Time Warner and their service started to suck as well.
However my local phone company wasn't asleep at the switch and was running fiber optic lines throughout the town. Once they pulled the lines to our development I signed up and had them use the coaxial cable to pull the Ethernet cable into the house. I returned their wireless router and bought the latest and greatest since I feel the need for speed with two of us working from home during the pandemic.
VZ built an office 2 minutes from the house and if I have any problems with our cellphones we can run right up there and get them fixed.
BTW Southern Bell bought out AT&T years ago and kep the T name.
The judge who broke up the company is flipping in his grave.
Come on now the Pirates did draft Skenes. Yankees should be so lucky. We trade our good pitchers away.
Remember board moderation is strictly subjective and does not necessarily reflect what the board was established for. Granted that doesn't apply to stock boards but the quasi ones.
I made this recipe last night and it called for a dollop of ricotta cheese. Which got me to thinking how many people know what a dollop is?
a shapeless mass or blob of something, especially soft food.
"great dollops of cream"
Grocery stores get the not quite ripe peaches, plums and nectarines. They are all hard as rocks with zero flavor.
I have found that Publix here has the best selection of the fruits above.
The peaches at the farmer's market here in NC come from the sandhills just south of us and from my survey yesterday in squeezing them at several booths this is where I'll pick some up over the weekend for cobbler.

On the way to the beach there is an ice cream stand in a caboose and they have the best peach ice cream in the world.

Yesterday we harvested our first cherry tomato. We split it 3 ways.
Today we went to the farmers market for tomatoes for a couple of recipes.
I'm researching recipes for fried green tomatoes.
Peaches are in season now and I'll go back over the weekend to pick up some for peach cobbler. What a difference they are from the grocery store.
Your google search picked the wrong town.
Mashpee is nowhere near the beach.
The Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe would probably oppose building any new cell towers on conservation land which the town is surrounded by.
Now I explained my experience with cell phone service on the Cape and after one year I switched to Verizon after doing my research. I needed a dependable service while on vacation and I was quite pleased with VZ. Which also trades much higher than T and has a better divy.
I hope she keeps you up late at night gnawing on that bone.
Cruel and unusual punishment while she struggles to get the marrow out of the bone.
From a long time dog owner.
You're not telling me anything new. AT&T lost my business when I couldn't get service sitting on a beach on Cape Cod.
And the last thing I need is all my data all over the dark web,.
And that is why AT&T is not my cellphone provider. Though they used to be, their service and coverage sucked.

Ford Motor will expand production of its large Super Duty trucks to a Canadian plant that was previously set to be converted into an all-electric vehicle hub.
The new plans include investing about $3 billion to expand Super Duty production, including $2.3 billion at Ford’s Oakville Assembly Complex in Ontario, Canada, Ford said Thursday.
Ford said the Canadian plant, which is expected to come online in 2026, will add annual capacity of roughly 100,000 units of the highly profitable pickups.

T has a long history of buying companies then spinning them off for losses. Years ago I worked with people who worked at NCR. When T bought them many retired.
The only thing that stock has going for them is the divy. And of course the hack.

Yankees immediately demoting top prospect after promotion is absolute idiocy
What's even the point?

Nothing was more fitting than the Yankees blowing an opportunity to sweep the Orioles on Sunday with two inexplicable errors and another shaky Clay Holmes performance. From a "players on the field" standpoint, that's characterized the first half, even though the Yankees got off to a 50-22 start. Yes, they are now 58-40 — 8-18 in their last 26 games.
But from a player transaction perspective, the Yankees are at it again, making wasteful and pointless roster moves that continue to hinder the team's progress. We can go as far back as the employment of Dennis Santana, which went on a month too long and extinguished Ron Marinaccio's progress and development.
This past Friday, it was more of the same. The Yankees called up top prospect Jorbit Vivas after placing JD Davis on the injured list. Wow, what a move! The Yankees need infield help and depth for the second half, so let's see what the kid can do!
Or ... not? Vivas spent the entire weekend with the team, didn't log a wink of playing time, and was demoted back to Triple-A after Sunday's finale to further worsen the vibes after the 6-5 collapse.
Welcome to the majors. Now go sit on the bench.
