Completely agree about the officiating. It had an impact on the Avalanche games, too. I cringe watching the poor calls. I'm rooting for the Blues, too. Wanna see them, and the city, get the win. (And personally, I'm tired of Boston teams). 🙄😉 Me too, Penny. Go Blues. [smilie=cheeky-grin.gif]

Former major leaguer Bill Buckner died yesterday. Most people probably remember him for the error he made in game 6 of the 1986 World Series against the Mets but he was a really good player. He had 2,715 hits, drove in 1,208 runs and scored 1,077 runs in his career. And as an example of how the gam...

I checked in around 11:00 (CENTRAL time) and saw nobody had posted here. I just figured the site was down and some alien forces were enabling me to log in. Sounds crazy, but stranger things have happened. Anyway, I’m glad it’s up and running. Hoping everyone is having better weather than here and ju...

After we were teased by two beautiful sunshine days in a row, it’s back to reality today in Eastern Iowa. Severe thunderstorms going on for the next 2-3 hours, along with 50 MPH winds, and this will be followed by heavy rain the rest of the day and into the night. It’s 8:45 AM, but outside it looks ...

If you did it at the Post Office I am surprised they did not ask you. Or if they did ask when you needed it, figured that was not important. Spring is a big renewal time and depending where you live/how far from the processing area for passports. try here, you are still under 6 weeks: https://passp...

Hello and happy National Devil’s Food Cake Day to all. Got a small amount of water downstairs last night from all the rain we’ve been getting, mostly just in the laundry room, but still enough to be a P.I.T.A.- so Mother Nature has planned out my day for me. Or I could just pay someone $100.00 to to...

I didn’t expedite it. I didn’t know that was an option.
It’s been two days shy of five weeks now.

When I renewed my passport, it took 36 days to get the new one. I only know that because I posted in this thread the day I mailed the renewal and again the day the new one came in the mail. :lol: And it’s been something like 33 days since I renewed mine, and the lady did tell me it would be 4-6 wee...

Hello to anybody who’s anybody. Not going to comment on this $&#%ing weather of ours, because it absolutely $@~>s. Seems like early March in Eastern Iowa. Kenny Chesney did a concert at the Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines on Thursday. It’s about an hour & a half drive. I wasn’t going to go, ...

Renewed my passport a month ago because my current one expires in August.
New one still hasn’t arrived. I’m getting VERY antsy and impatient.

An American icon and a showcase for all things good.
Rest In Peace, Ms. Day.

No worries. As Shakesphere once said, “What’s in a name?”

(Yes, I’m here now).

Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mothers out there- I hope it’s a day of joy and contentment for all. This is my first Mother’s Day without my mother and I’m doing much, much better than I thought I’d be. I put some flowers on the grave yesterday, and texted a photo of it to my brother, sister, and nie...

The second one was You'll Acompany Me That and “Ship of Fools” are my two favorite Bob Seger songs. Both make me think of a different person who was once part of my life. “Ship of Fools” makes me think of Captain Paul Butcher, my Commanding Officer of the Cruiser I served aboard in the U.S. Navy (U...

Socks?
Not me. Too warm for socks here.

Another overcast day with more rain expected.

Too warm for socks here too. Although it’s quite windy and overcast, the temperature is all the way up to 46 or 47 degrees.
T-shirt & shorts weather.

Good morning BN. My particular harbor is Bar Harbor, Maine. There is a town park above the town pier. We sit till sunset and watch children play. Do you have a particular harbor? Lunenberg, Nova Scotia for me. I like to sit on the deck and have brunch at the Admiral Benbow above the harbor (harbour...

They’re supposed to get lots of rain this week too- just what they DON’T need.

Hey Garry!! Are you okay during this flooding going on? :( Hi, Penny. Yes, I’m fine. All the major flooding has been in Western Iowa along the Missouri River- 240-250 miles away- and in Eastern Iowa (specifically Davenport, IA and the Quad Cities) along the Mississippi River, about 65 miles away. I...
