Learn To Play Tennis the Cone Durnell Way!!!

Bad Ranger defense in the 4th did Leiter no favors. Rangers win eventually though, taking 3-4 against the Tigers. Three day games in a row! So far, the AL West is doing the Rangers some favors. We'll see how long that lasts.

My preorder arrived yesterday. I'm about halfway through it, it's mostly easy reading, but I can tell that it was assembled/ edited by a non-musician. There's a comprehension/coherency issue that is possibly going to bewilder people who have no experience with a saxophone. Detailed discussions about technique cut away to philosophical commentary without warning, and the go right back again. Still, if you do know something about a saxophone, there is some wonderful stuff in here (especially about the potential for a mystical experience with multiphonics). And the philosophy shows a consistent and expanding thread from beginning to end. A patient reader will enjoy this, I thinks. An impatient reader...Sonny Rollins is probably not for impatient people, readers or otherwise.

A lot of America has been built horizontally, not vertically. Wide open spaces and all that. This is especially true in the American Southwest. Why monetize one acre when you can monetize 10?

What kind of "real sugar" would one expect in a root beer if not cane sugar? Am I missing out on something? Please advise. IBC is great, and has been easily available in supermarkets here for decades now. There are "craft" root beers that maybe have better flavor, but they cost a lot and availability is spotty at best. I mean, hell, it's root beer. IBC tips the top for me!!!

Texas Tick - Oh No You Don't!!!

Flick Dingerella and Tom - Your Ass Has Opened My Eyes!!!

Found this on Spotify. It's just a bit messy, but a least that much more again fun!!!!

I believe that the guitarist on this record, Lee Robinson, ended up in Dallas doing studio work and playing jazz with Fred Crane, Peyton Park, Jimmy Zitano, etc

Wow, I've got mine on and couldn't see that!

I don't recognize any of those records.

A millionaire leader should be able to pay for better players?

That could be interesting...

RIP Whitey Herzog. They might still make 'em like that (Ron Washington?), but if they do, where are they?

A most graceful morph of the old West Coast Jazz into the new 👌

See's Candy must be quite the jazz lovers. They sponsored Riverwalk Jazz for years!

The Rangers have a AA team in Frisco (a northern suburb of Dallas) and a AAA team in Round Rock (an exurb of Austin) and they seem to have been doing fine for years now. I do know that the more rabid fans take an interest in the farm teams, because that's where the prospects are, either for the home team players or else as trade bait. Not everybody's into it at that level, but I do think that people who are are healthy for the game in general.

Do you speak from experience? It seems that some minor league teams are able to develop a good base of local support. Everybody knows what the deal is,players and fans alike. It's an entry-level gig and then the steps up. And bottom line - it's baseball. Merit-based promotions. For whatever that's worth

Pee Wee Rossiter - Help Yourself!!!

Interesting look at the state of minor league ownership today: https://theathletic.com/5408834/2024/04/15/minor-league-baseball-team-ownership-diamond-baseball-holdings/?source=thewindup_newsletter&campaign=9567258&userId=14372387 I really hope for a strong minor league system to live forever. Local interest outside of MLB/metro areas is key to the game keeping what little grassroots appeal it has left. Oh, the Rangers won a 1-0 game tonight, and it's only mid-April!!!!!!!!!

Same for those who are not all that familiar with how enslaving people think...

So, Roman Reigns?
