Are those some kind of deadly spiders or giant Texas ticks on the cactus?

Pretenders II -- MFSL SACD -- Thanks Sammich!

That's why it resonates with me so much right now!

That's why I picked it.

^One of my favorites. As for me:

Thrice, from out of nowhere! Hey Stephen, good to see you!

Plus, uncircumcised sausages look bigger too.

Congrat Dinny and Tom! Sorry Dan. What an amazing game.

RIP Ms. McLuggage. This is way more information than any of you need about someone you didn't know and have never heard of, but the obit my brother wrote for Marie follows. Marie and John were part of my life since I was 14 years old, and way more a part of my family than any other sibling's in-laws. This really got me at scourges. Read on if interested. Marie Cogan. Aug. 29, 1922 – May 4, 2015 New Jersey native and Contra Costa resident since 1991, Marie Cogan passed away May 4 in her Clayton apartment. The 92-year-old was born in Elizabeth, NJ to Irish American parents, August Mueller and Madeline Smith. She married her high school sweetheart, John Cogan, on Jan. 6, 1945 while he was serving in the US Navy. Marie wrote him letters and sent boxes of goodies with peanuts and crossword puzzles while he spent three years in Brazil during World War II. They had son John Joseph (Jack) Cogan on Feb. 4, 1946 and daughter Jill Ann Cogan on Feb. 24, 1950 and then settled on Monica Court in Avenel, NJ for over 30 years. After John retired from a near 40-year career with Exxon the couple moved to California in 1991 to be close to their four grandchildren. She was a voracious reader and loved to jog. She loved to host dinners and parties at her home, none more so than on St. Patrick’s Day, her favorite holiday. The couple enjoyed traveling to Ireland, England and Alaska. They also made several cross country drives to visit their daughter’s growing family. Marie made friends wherever she went. Son-in-law Jay Bedecarre says she knew more of his neighbors in Clayton than he did. At Diamond Terrace her friends said she was an unbelievably funny woman who, when asked what she wanted people to know about her responded, “That I’m a beautiful, skinny blond with a great sense of humor.” She lost her immediate family to three medical scourges of the past four decades: son Jack succumbed to AIDS in 1989, husband John to Alzheimer’s in 2005 and daughter Jill to breast cancer in 2007. John and Marie were married 60 years and he died three days after their 60th anniversary. She is survived by son-in-law John Jay Bedecarre, granddaughter Juliene Marie Bedecarre and grandson Jared William Bedecarre of Clayton; grandson John Jason (Emily) Bedecarre and great grandson Ted William Bedecarre of Corte Madera and grandson Justin Thomas Bedecarre of San Francisco. She is also survived by six nephews and three nieces, all on the East Coast, and sister-in-law Alyce Miller of New Jersey. She spoke almost daily with niece Jean Shipley, who was her Aunt Marie’s “second daughter.” The family thanks her caregivers Jennifer, Flora, Leah and Amy and Jill’s dear friend Ellen Herdegen for their love and kindness. The family said that anyone wishing to make a remembrance in her name can do so to the Cancer Support Community of Walnut Creek, Alzheimer’s Foundation of America or a charity of your choice.

How about sorting for impertinence?

Nate said it all.

Are you suggesting I'm lazy?! The English gits doing the Giro commentary are simply awful.

I'm watching the Giro and the Tour de California, although I am behind on the Giro so I am catching up.

Great series and game 7 should be epic fun.

I'm glad you had a good Tahoe experience. I spent all time there every summer of you youth and love it in summer better than winter.

Mid-way After the foil worth brown sugar, honey and butter On the platter On my plate with proper accompaniment Good smoke ring for the Traeger but a little dry because my sister in law came over and I had to make cocktails at the wrong moment. I still liked them very much and Alden powered through six of them easily.

He must have been tired from eating all of your plants.

Looks damn good, Ric.

Hot and sweet ribs just starting a low and slow smoke.

It's today. Wink is in a radically different time zone and doesn't adjust.
