Re: Speaking of Tribute Bands.... - Today

If I can’t see the real thing, I’m not going. God bless them if they can make a living from it, and I know that some artists that are copied are dead or too old to perform, but a tribute act is simply not the same. As a side note, I remember a cartoon years ago about a promoter calling an agent about booking an artist and the agent saying he’s dead. The promoter then says, so offer him m

Re: CFP Rankings out - 4 days ago

FSU was shafted - they finished undefeated in a P5 conference, they defeated two non-ACC P5 teams, they won their conference, AND they did it using backup QB's. To be told they aren't good enough because they won with a 3rd string backup makes a mockery of the selection process. They should have been third and Texas fourth. This.

Re: NFL Week 13 Talk (spoilers) - 4 days ago

Well, Lions won but they looked like they were trying to snatch defeat from victory. Saints are just not that good and Detroit were lucky to have escaped. At least, when they had to step up, they did it in the last possession when they had to make first downs to run out the clock.

Air Tags at Staples: Which stores has them? - 18 days ago

slickdeals has the four AirTags for $70 (in store pickup) again but when I click on the deal there doesn’t seem to be a way to find which stores has them for that price. My local store shows $89 for them. How do I find what Staples stores has the deal?

Jupiter tonight - 18 days ago

I didn’t get a shot of it last night but we have one more clear night before the Big Change to the weather gets here. I see only three Galilean moons and, of course, Jupiter is far brighter than the moons so this is two layers. But you can see (just) two equatorial bands on the planet.

Re: NFL Week 11 Talk (spoilers) - 18 days ago

I’m late here posting to the confession thread of pRICE’s from a few days ago. But I admit that I turned to the Browns/Steelers game when the Lions were behind by 12 points with 4 minutes and 25 seconds left in the game. That said, the Lions are 8-2 for the first time since 1962! And you have to understand that the last championship won by the Lions was in 1957. This is uncharted ground

Moon photobomb...sort of... - 19 days ago

Was shooting to test the Denoise in the Camera Raw palette and using my SX60. I posted a few days ago about Denoise giving new life to the SX60 and it's a clear night so... And I got this sort of photobomb with the aircraft moving from right to left. Didn't get it in front of the Moon so I did it in two images; I brightened the overall image to get the plane to show up, then layered it wit

This past Friday we sent one of our cats to Kitty Heaven. She was about 15 years old-I say “about” because she was a stray we took in and we don’t know how old she was then. Our vet thought she was only a year old or so, and skinny and ragged. She was the oldest of our four cats. But we did soon find that possibly her childhood was bad as she was, well, a bitch. We named her Sybil becaus

I’m not saying that I should treat them seriously yet, and the Chargers were a 4-4 team (although Herbert is pretty good) but the Lions did what a good team should do...
