  1. Not a fan of his, especially for that trick of not covering the field the night before the 1983 AFC Championship game against the Jets do they could slow the Jets running game down. Adios Donny.
  2. When I purchase something nowadays, I request first class or priority. It’s a little more but worth the aggravation.
  3. It’s hard to get physical if there is a physical distance between you and your lover
  4. I’m still waiting on those two packages I had posted about; one was mailed on April 9, the other a day later.
  5. First class is fine. It’s media that can be iffy.
  6. I watched it when it first came out and my recollection of the first episode was that it lacked enough Vietnamese history. Although the series made an attempt to use Vietnamese participants, it was an American-centric series as are most books you read about Nam. From the US perspective, the books I’d recommend are Tim O’Brien’s books. From the Vietnamese side, I’d recommend Viet Thanh Nguyen’s The Sympathizer; his account of Apocalypse Now is damning. The Times ran a great series three years ago, Vietnam 67. It’s worth the time. It ran for about 15 months. I was sorry when it ended. I was in high school and then college in the late 60s (did my share of demonstrations and was gassed once or twice) and the one good thing about the series — or bad thing, depending on your perspective — is that it brings you back; I felt I was reliving it again. Wasn’t a great feeling. Can only imagine how the combatants felt.
  7. It’s going to be in my next order.
  8. It’s almost impossible not to get political because we have competing desires between trying to keep this disease at bay vs opening up the economy. You can’t do both. Cutting back on the former in favor of the latter is just going to lead to the former coming back in full force and worse economic consequences. Take one step forward and two steps back. sometimes you have to learn the hard way. The economy opening up is being pushed due to political considerations, nothing else.
  9. Sounds like Chuck’s advice when Concord bought Fantasy.
  10. For those in need of a baseball fix, ESPN is going to start to show Korean Baseball League games six days a week starting tomorrow at 1am Eastern.
  11. Expect to see a ramping up in age discrimination suits.
  12. A prior post in 2018 said that Dr. Sunenblick’s son was trying to finish up projects his father started. Whether those come to fruition is another question.
  13. Only in America. If I’m in a public place, I wear a mask and gloves as well, if I may touch something. However, if I’m out walking or in a place where I may not encounter people I don’t wear one but have one at the ready b
  14. While this movie is great and I’ve seen it umpteen times so is Failsafe. It’s very good and I’d recommend that to anyone. The novel by Burdick and Wheeler was also very good.
  15. Can’t remember if I listened to this when I was younger but purchased this last year from Sundazed. Just amazing.
  16. Since I believe the gestation period is around 14 days, these deaths occurred while most of the nation was sheltering in place. With restrictions being eased, cases may increase. After holding steady for a few days in the 50-80 range, new cases in our county yesterday increased to slightly over 100. Better than it was previously but not optimal.
  17. These Are the Bedside Concerts Comforting Virus Patients
  18. I’m sorry to hear that. Hopefully, it’s not serious again as he’s been posting regularly on FB, most recently as of this past Friday.
  19. We all have our complaints about the Post Office but as this article indicates, it’s an essential institution. We Can’t Afford to Lose the Postal Service
  20. Did you ever see when Ali and Frazier wrested on the floor when Cosell was interviewing them. Classic.
  21. Did you try emailing them?
  22. When I check it says we don’t have enough info, etc. so I’m presuming we don’t. You don’t need to have filed your 2019 return, which is not due anyway, as long as you have filed your 2018 one. Camden, Burlington and Gloucester are not that bad in the total number of cases compared to other parts of NJ. In Morris County, we have 5,400 total cases whereas Camden has 3,800, Burlington 2,900 and Gloucester 1,300.
  23. Could it be you don’t qualify? We were out today — had to go to Lowe’s — and it seems with the confluence of warm weather and new cases declining a bit, people don’t seem as observant as they were previously. The roads were crowded, with a return to some sloppy driving, which will inevitably lead to a return of accidents. All of this will probably lead to a spike in cases.
  24. However, Montgomery County is less dense than Philadelphia so you would expect there to be a difference.
  25. Picked this up from Laurie Pepper via Bandcamp. I opted for a physical cd rather than digital.
