I grew up in Huntsville, AL. That's where I remember 18.9 cents a gallon. Normally it was 21.9 cents. I don't remember getting any kind of toy or anything. You are one lucky one Mike. mspart

The video is out. Kind of strange. Door is opened to police by Pelosi, who is holding a drink and co-holding a hammer with DePape. The police ask Depape to drop the hammer and he said he wasn't going to do that. Then there was a struggle and DePape got the hammer out of Pelosi's grip and immediately attacked. There was no time for the police to stop that action because they were trying to de-escalate the situation and it got out of hand in about 1 second. Very strange. But not much defense for Depape after watching that. You see the attack but they go out of visual range when the hammer hits Pelosi. You can see the police body cam footage below. Should the police have attacked Depape to wrest the hammer away? That is not de-escalation but escalation. It might have worked, but as they were standing there, both holding the hammer and Depape saying things were cool, I'm guessing the police were not to concerned something bad was going to happen. This is just strange. Pelosi is not indicating he is in distress or thinks he may be, however, his mouth is open the whole time like he wants to say something, but I didn't hear him say anything. It was all Depape talking. I honestly don't know what to make of this. Pelosi should have gotten a body lock on him and took him to the cleaners. Hammer blow would be less hurtfull that way I think. I'm guessing Pelosi wasn't recalling his old wrestling moves at that moment. Very weird. Strange beginning and very violent end. Now we all know what happened. mspart

How is real estate entirely socialist? I ask this as an honest question. Buying and selling of real estate smacks of overt capitalism to me. Buying property as an investment smacks of overt capitalism to me also. So I'd like to know what you are thinking when you say this. mspart

So did Schiff ever provide his truth about collusion? I am not aware of it. If so, where is it? Mueller would have had no choice but to say Trump was guilty as charged but you know what? Schiff decided not to share his secret with Mueller and Mueller therefore had to find that there was no collusion. Schiff is just waiting to pounce at the right moment I guess. A real chess player he is. mspart

Don't they have sleazeball detectors at the FBI? Stuff like that is shades of Minority Report. mspart

Ha, how true. mspart

We got Pong when I was a teenager. It feels good to be part of a club here!! mspart

Very interesting jross. Thanks for the info. mspart

I was just supplying an anecdote from my past. That said, you ARE old!! mspart

Back in the day when a gas war produced 18.9 cents a gallon, watching the pennies made a difference. Normal gas was 21.9 and 24.9. When gas went to 34.9 my dad blew a gasket. Yes, I'm that old and remember all of that. Now with prices as high as they are, buying gas at $4.359 instead of $4.369 doesn't save enough money to make that trip if it is further. mspart

I don't want to watch an 11 minute video. What is the gist of the video or article? Article is behind a paywall. mspart

OK. I did not know that obviously. Don't have time to watch a Brands movie. I'll take your word for it. mspart

At your age, what about my age!! Ask my kids, I've been around since the stone ages before computers and cell phones and video game consoles. mspart

Sorry for missing the signals. I'm obtuse like that sometimes. mspart

Perhaps Spencer is GOAT at his weight for NCAA. Certainly Cael is THE GOAT for NCAA. Period. Undefeated 4 years. Brands probably was not thinking of international competition when he said this. mspart

You have to be enrolled to wrestle for the team. Insurance and all that stuff. mspart

Just watching this is more entertaining probably than the actual match. mspart

His last match I think went like this. He was not in as good a shape as in the past. That was obvious watching his matches before the finals. He wasn't as sharp, he couldn't get his reverse lift going. He wasn't as strong as in the past. All of that combined with Rulon's game plan that allowed him to do his best and provide for his best defense. He defended against the lift in a way I hadn't seen before but it was throwing Karelin off. He just had to stay in there and pummel. If not for the ridiculous clinch rule, Karelin could have won and maybe so, at least by criteria if it had stayed tied as Rulon was put down a few times. But he broke his grip and lost. But Rulon showed the heart of a champion in that match denying Karelin of his signature moves. I think if Karelin had come in at the same kind of strength and conditioning that he was known for, he would have won. But Rulon's game plan worked and Rulon won with a weakened Karelin. To show it was no fluke, he won WC the next year. So he was no joke. mspart

He became a member of their national assy I think. mspart

You'll end up with one of these that beats everything in its path. mspart

Yes he said that. Is there any proof this is not going on? With the amount of drugs coming over the border I'd say he was correct on that one. Not everyone is a drug runner. But enough are getting through to make a real issue. https://www.judicialwatch.org/in-2019-over-90-of-illegal-aliens-arrested-in-u-s-had-criminal-convictions-pending-charges/ More than 90% of illegal immigrants arrested by federal agents in the United States last year had criminal convictions or pending criminal charges, including 56,000 assaults and thousands of sex crimes, robberies, homicides and kidnappings. Many had “extensive criminal histories with multiple convictions,” according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) year-end report. The 123,128 illegal aliens arrested by the agency’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) in 2019 had 489,063 criminal convictions and pending charges, representing an average of four crimes per alien, highlighting the “recidivist nature” of the arrested aliens, the agency writes, noting that sanctuary cities nationwide greatly impeded its public safety efforts. So it would seem that he was correct on the second one. Not everyone is a rapist. But enough get through that it is an issue. Should there be more or less scrutiny of the people coming into our country to live? That is the basis of our coded immigration policy that is being ignored. mspart

I'm guessing Schiff couldn't think of anything to say after that!! Ha ha. I'm not a big fan of Schiff. He's a conniving worm in my opinion who has no morals whatsoever and will do anything to get in the limelight. Granted there are other politicos the same, but Schiff is the biggest offender for me. I hope he loses his Senate race. Surely there has to be someone smarter than him in CA that can show everyone who he really is. mspart

Not just figuratively, literally. He said he had proof Trump colluded with the Russians. The reason he has not disclosed his proof is because he doesn't have any. He lied straight to everyone in Congress and the American people. Here is a funny: Schiff on Twitter: “Elon Musk calls himself a free speech absolutist, to justify turning a blind eye to hatred and bigotry on Twitter. But when journalists report unfavorable news, they are banned without warning. The devotion to free speech is apparently not that absolute. But the hypocrisy is,” Musk on Twitter responding: “Thankfully, you lose your chairmanship very soon. Your brain is too small,” The truth cuts to the core!! mspart
