Happy Birthday EKE BBB!

Happy Birthday Jostber!

I'm sure that he won't have any problem getting another job. He's an ACC icon here in North Carolina. http://www.globesports.com/servlet/story/R...Basketball/home

My problem with nuclear power is that no insurance company is willing to touch it. The likelihood of a problem is very low, but the cost of such a problem is extremely high to say the least. I'll have a more positive attitude toward it when the insurance companies feel that it is safe enough for them to get involved.

In Pennsylvania Dutch country, they leave off the pecans and call it shoo-fly pie.

Moose, last I heard, Moosehead was not available in British Columbia, the Canadian province closest to Oregon. My knowledge may be obsolete, but as I understood it, the law in Canada was the provinces could forbid the sale of a brand of beer which did not have a brewery in the province. Moosehead is made in one of the Maritime Provinces as I recall, maybe New Brunswick, so they could sell their product in the US but not in provinces out west. So I can imagine a retailer in Oregon disdaining a relatively small brand from the east. I don't approve, of course, but I can understand it. Maybe one of our Canadian posters will bring us up to date on current Canadian law regarding the sale of beer outside a province. As I recall, the term used discussing the consolidation of breweries was "rationalization".

Saskatchewan Roughriders 33....Hamilton Tiger-Cats 28 http://www.globesports.com/servlet/story/R...tsFootball/home All four Western teams won this week. After just three games, the Riders are the only unbeaten team, and the Bombers are the only winless team.

British Columbia Lions 42....Winnipeg Blue Bombers 24 http://www.globesports.com/servlet/story/R...tsFootball/home The Bombers scored two TDs late in the game to make the score look better.

Edmonton Eskimos 47....Toronto Argonauts 28 http://www.globesports.com/servlet/story/R...tsFootball/home

Calgary Stampeders 23....Montreal Alouettes 19 http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform...aspx?id=4164013 http://www.globesports.com/servlet/story/R...tsFootball/home

Happy Birthday Guy!

The Argos have put Michael Bishop on waivers! Last year he started 11 games for them and won ten. I suspect that he enjoys the loyalty of his teammates in the locker room. By doing so, the Argos can determine any interest in him. If another team claims him, they can recall him, and the negotiations will commence. http://www.globesports.com/servlet/story/R...tsFootball/home ***** David Naylor Week 3 preview http://www.globesports.com/servlet/story/R...tsFootball/home

Their loss to the Ticats indicates that the Argos have a problem. They have taken away the power to call the plays from offensive coordinator Steve Buratto after only two weeks. Neither QB is happy because both expected to be the starter. http://www.globesports.com/servlet/story/R...tsFootball/home

Chet Baker Live PJ, disc 3

The Riders have lost DJ Flick, probably for the season, with a broken leg. http://www.canada.com/reginaleaderpost/new...61-ee609d68bc2b So they sent Ron Flemons back to the Argos for TJ Acree to replace him. http://www.globesports.com/servlet/story/R...tsFootball/home

Happy Birthday Randy!

Bob Ackles has died of a heart attack. I just heard him Friday night being interviewed during the halftime of the Riders radio broadcast of their game with the Lions. I had the pleasure of having breakfast with him once in 1985. Very nice man. http://www.globesports.com/servlet/story/R...tsFootball/home http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/sto...ory/GlobeSports http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Football/CFL/BC/...6083301-cp.html I've been meaning to pick up a copy of his autobiography The Waterboy.

Happy Birthday SJ!

Happy Birthday B! The big 4-0!

Saskatchewan Roughriders 26....British Columbia Lions 16 http://www.globesports.com/servlet/story/R...tsFootball/home http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Football/CFL/Gam...6071676-cp.html Sask's third-string QB Darian Durant had a great game.

Montreal Alouettes 38....Winnipeg Blue Bombers 24 http://www.globesports.com/servlet/story/R...tsFootball/home In post #87 of May 29 above, I noted that the gamblers were predicting the Als to win the fewest games this year, only 5. They have already won their first two!

Thanks, sidewinder.

Another surprise! Edmonton Eskimos 34....Calgary Stampeders 31 http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform...aspx?id=4162239 http://www.globesports.com/servlet/story/R...lobeSports/home http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Football/CFL/Gam...6061041-cp.html

I recommend both The Swingle Singers and the Deep Blue Organ Trio discs.
