Biggest tournament bass today was 8 lb., 4 oz. Yowza!!
Wife and I found out today are dog is on his last days. He is our 4th dog. Never gets easier.
I'd pay to see that.
so sorry to hear that
Last year we went with round trip flights,3 night room comps, FREE PLAY and night club tickets to Borgata in New Jersey for my birthday through MGM Casinos and Hotels.(we get there often) We just received similar perks only to https://beaurivage.mgmresorts.com/en.html?ecid=GMB_BR_HO in Louisianna on dates February 24th through February 27th similar perks, round trip flights on SUN COUNTRY shuttle from airport to Casino and same deals as Borgata as through MGM. The only drawback is the cigarette smoke that was bad in Jersey hopefully better ventilation in the BEAU! We went week ago for my wifes' birthday to the Indian Casinos of HARD ROCK and smoke was terrible. Multi zillion dollar places and they cant get better air systems amazing but we wear masks and use the areas that aren't so smoke filled, its really more about the stay, Be good to stay south rather than heading North again too cold up North we left that lifestyle years ago, not good for old bones..Smoke filled palaces Beaucoup Dinky Dau, my wife loves the games though!! The Bandits are waiting!!
The house lefties will hate this music video, but the rest of you will probably enjoy it.

Sorry to hear. I think it gets harder every time.

So sorry, Political Junkie, that’s heartbreaking news. Peace to you and yours.
Political Junkie, I am so sorry!
Welfare nation — more than half of immigrant households on government aid
Thanks - Democrats. We are all so glad you care so much about we - the US citizen tax payer. Well - only as much as you can steal our hard earned money and hand it over to your new illegal voting base.
For all those men who consider themselves fat, this one's for you.
Built For Comfort - Howlin’Wolf
As this is the cafe thread, and in light of Political Junkie's sad news, I will share that our dog - middle-aged and apparently in robust health - is the major impediment to the "slow travel" retirement my husband has been looking forward to for years. (He never wanted a dog; I love having a dog and would happily arrange my life around having her.) We are now, as I've mentioned previously, unhomed and living in Airbnbs, and he wants to be able to jet around freely to places we've never visited, but flying with the dog seems very fraught to me. The stress on her, the logistics...
So for now, our travel is limited to places we can drive to, which is causing tension between us. Our youngest has offered to take the dog, but that's contingent on his getting a job post graduation and not having to travel for said job. So for now, we are North America-centric, and constantly slightly contentious.
I haven't seen the previous posts. We lost heat at 1400 today. I've been trying to deal with that. Our gas provider hasn't been very responsive. I tried other companies, and they won't respond, because we are not prior customers. Burning wood until it runs out. It's snowing again. This is not normal for this area.
I used to take trips quite often but since getting dogs, that's changed. I retired three years ago and brought my dogs with me on the one driving trip I've taken in that time. I don't know about the dogs, but I found it stressful and am not eager to recreate the experience.
Sometimes, I think about the opportunities for travel that I've missed out on (I'm not getting any younger) but on the other hand, it would hard to imagine not having the dogs here with me today. What they've given me would be enough material to write several books, so the tradeoff is worth it, I think.
Jamie… maybe you should try your hand at writing a screenplay… for a rom-com movie about a lovable, rascal dog that is causing friction between a happy wanderer husband and his dog-loving wife… potentially starring Owen Wilson and Kristen Wiig?
Hell… the damn thing almost writes itself!
I think too many people believe that the Jewish resistance to the Nazis during WWII was confined to a small number of doomed ghetto uprisings. And that the rest of the Jews just resigned themselves to being passive victims. But that's not true. There were groups of armed partisan Jews who were hiding and fighting in the forests of Western Belorussia and elsewhere. One such group was the Bielski Otriad, a partisan detachment headed up by brothers Tuvia and Zus Bielski. They saved the lives of thousands of Jews who escaped from the ghettos, and also engaged in armed guerilla attacks against the Nazis and Nazi collaborators. I just finished reading "Defiance," an excellent book by Nechama Tec, which chronicles this little known part of the War. I highly recommend it. If you don't have time to read the book, it was made into an excellent movie with the same name, starring Daniel Craig and Liev Schreiber. It is a remarkable and unforgettable story about those who chose to fight.
All kidding aside, boarding can be fairly expensive and it’s definitely a factor.
Sorry about the dog, Political Junkie, and the contention, Jamie. I hope it works out.
Chin-up, Political Junkie… we’re close to the end with our Cairn Terrier… she’s blind in one eye, losing sight in the other and nearly deaf, but she’s still fairly spry for a 15 year old. And I know it’s just about gonna break our hearts when the time comes.
I'd kinda like a dog, but with our traveling it's out of the question. Perhaps when we get old(er).
My 92 y.o. mother lost her beagle a year ago. She'd like another one, but knows she's too old for one. I suggested a robo dog.
Lakes , in winter, are low entropy environments with highly ordered crystal structures at the boundary, covering fluids of high relative homogeneity. We add that up., and we experience a sense of purity. The rest of the world is high entropy, low purity.
"Burning wood until it runs out. It's snowing again. This is not normal for this area."
Sounds like the last entry in a journal.
Where do you live, Joe Bar? Do you burn LP?
Jamie, same boat here. We road trip with our two dogs, but have fewer options to stay and minimal activities to do wherever we go. Last time, belatedly, we realized that the trips were always about what the dogs can do there, rather than what the two of us can do…lol. Hikes and parks are fun, but we’d both like to do other things at different spots.
We’ve been testing the live in pet sitters lately, one night at a time, til we’re comfortable. Pretty happy with a couple options so far. Hopefully one day we’ll get a week by ourselves!
We’re truly at their bark and howl. But, we love them to pieces.
This should be entertaining...
Betting company Polymarket opens NYC's first free grocery store in downtown Manhattan
Polymarket will be open for New Yorkers in Lower Manhattan starting at 12PM from Feb. 12 through Feb. 16, according to the NYC for Free website. It’s being described as the city’s first free grocery store, "fully stocked" and requiring no purchase.

Some friends of mind have an Australian Shepard and they like to travel. They found someone, using a web-site - I forgot it - but will think of it - where you can swap dog care - or find someone who can take the dog and live with the dog in an normal home situation . No kennel.
Works well for them. If only I could remember the name of it.

Trump's time in office will steadily dwindle. Private muttering will grow louder, then spill into public view. Eventually, something will break.
Hey, man-in-the-room. Dow 50,000, baby.
Can you imagine what it would be without the tariffs?
I read that as of today, 11 days after the storm. 6000 homes in Nashville, TN, are still without power. DEI hires are not what you need in charge of a public utility.
@Political Junkie, very sorry to hear of your troubles. Dogs are such a gift almost all their lives, and this is the hard part for the humans. I hope your dog's passing is gentle and peaceful. My vet tells me there are euthanasia specialists that will come to your home so that it can take place in a familiar and loving surrounding. This is what we have planned when the time comes for our dogs and cats, but hopefully that's a while out still.

It never gets easier Political Junkie.
I had a lot of dogs in my life (5 Golden Retrievers and 3 Dobermans). Each passing was really tough because those dogs brought something special to my life.
It helps to celebrate the times you had with them and them with you.

Keep your phone charged whatever else you give up. Use it to find out the general situation such as when power will be restored or if there is a warming station you can go to, to ask for help, to guide people to where you are.
I can remember not too long ago when people would talk about Dow 15,000, then 18,000, and so on like they were unobtainable pipe dreams. I have not continuously been invested that whole time, but a good part of it. I have not sold anything for at least 10 years. The growth over the last two decades has been amazing. It was 6,500 in 2009 and if you told someone then that in 17 years it would be 50,000, they would of laughed at you. That seemed impossible at the time. Of course inflation has eaten up half of that gain.
So the Canadians renamed a park Ethennonnhawahstihnen Park to honor first peoples.
But in Massachusetts there’s a Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg - named in 1921. (I checked with Grok because I thought it was a joke.) Its official name is Lake Chaubunagungamaug also known as Webster Lake.

These retards have been saying the same thing for more than a decade now.
A decade. Zero change.
They are just fucking stupid.
What is Trump's time in office going to do - grow?
True story. A close friend had a lovely black lab named McGee. Knew that dog since its puppyhood. Had a dream one night that featured McGee coming to visit me and telling me how much he liked me.
Met my friend the next day and he told me that McKee had passed.
I had similar dreams when my mom and the lovely boxer dog I grew up with, Belle, passed. Mom and Belle were forseeable. McKee not so much.
I trace my steadfast belief in Heaven in part to those experiences. And it's nice to hope to see my Mom and my Dog with Him sometime in the not-distant-enough-future.

I see what you mean.
The significant differences between men and women, are not attributable to aptitude and skill, but to interest and priority.
“The significant differences between men and women, is not attributable to aptitude and skill, but to interest and priority.“
I don’t think it really matters.
1. We really do a lousy job studying ourselves. Mostly we just confirm our biases.
2. The important thing that needs to be done is to hire, grade, promote on merit. Gauging merit is also based to some degree on our biases and it’s necessary to keep that in mind.
3. Keep avenues open (free enterprise system) so that those who’s abilities weren’t valued by our merit system can flourish outside of it.
@Eva Marie, the conversation went like this:

There was a mini-conversation about Widespread Panic several days ago. Probably on the Bob Weir thread.

Meanwhile, when Progressives take a break from accusing the right of being racists, another Progressive would be assassin was thwarted by police, parroting Progressive talking points fearing a "FASCIST TAKEOVER".

Everything is racist.
Eating bananas is racist.
Black people playing monkeys in movies or cartoons is racist.
Black people using monkey voices is racist.
Everything is racist.
A white man saying the word black is racist.
Trump? Everything about Trump is racist, including saving black babies from abortion.
Breathing in the wrong direction is racist.
That’s the society we live in now.
This is fake, performative outrage—manufactured moral panic used to control the narrative. The same people who’ve awashed the country in filth, lawlessness, and decay turn around and lecture everyone about racism.
They don’t want solutions. They want power.
They don’t want truth. They want leverage.
And after all that destruction, they still have the audacity to talk about racism.

Watching the Milan Olympics opening ceremony that I recorded yesterday. The big song/dance number is dedicated to Italian arts and culture. One main feature is guys in bighead costumes of Rossini, Puccini and Verdi. Reminds me of when the London Olympics took the small-head approach and dressed up tiny Sir Kenneth Branagh as Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
There was also a girl dancer running around in a gold lame costume. Not sure if she is an Italian celebrity. But anyway at one point her male backup dancers were pawing her - not miming it - actually pawing her. Including her breasts.
That. Is. Italy. CC, JSM
“A remarkably candid column appeared in the New York Times this week by Spain’s left-wing Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, who recently announced his government would grant amnesty to half a million illegal immigrants living in Spain. Framed as an argument for “why the West needs migrants,” Sánchez’s essay is really an admission of moral collapse, and a frank declaration that he intends to destroy his nation in exchange for short-term economic gain.
It is an admission of moral collapse because the Spanish government has signaled its willingness to erase their country, put the interests of foreigners above those of native citizens, and turn Spain into a magnet for Third World migration...”

"Tom MacDonald Lyrics
"Pray For The Left"
They always said that Charlie Kirk was a nazi, then they celebrated after they killed him
They tried to tell us that black lives matter, and that white people have always been villains
They burnin' flags in the streets, and they scream at police taking illegals to prison
They got rainbows on they bedroom walls, and they swear to God that men be women
They're scrolling through their TikTok's to get the news
They heard that Trump's a fascist, they swear it's true
They set fire to Minnesota, we smell the fumes
They say that guns are dangerous, guess they're the proof
They'll shoot that red hat off your head, then make a meme of your last breath
Cause you're not like them, so they want you dead, but, we'll still pray for the left
They'll say that they're hurt by things we said, then say we deserve it when we're dead
When we're shot in neck with our last breath, we'll still pray for the left
Prayin' for the left
They keep saying that ICE are the nazis, so, they're buying guns and tracking positions
Go tell the parents of the kids who were killed, illegal immigrants are really the victims
They say America ain't safe if you're black or trans or gay, I think it's way more dangerous to be a Christian
Y'all started acting different back when Anthony Fauci made you keep the ones you love at a distance
They're scrolling through their TikTok's, antifa clips
They say that Trump is Hitler, they're mad they missed
They think they have a feel, is how it is
And conservatives are evil, we shouldn't live
They'll shoot that red hat off your head, then make a meme of your last breath
Cause you're not like them, so they want you dead, but, we'll still pray for the left
They'll say that they're hurt by things we said, then say we deserve it when we're dead
When we're shot in neck with our last breath, we'll still pray for the left
Scratching swastikas on Tesla's ain't gon change a thing
You can burn our cities down, but we'll just make them great again
Oh, they hate us cause they say that we are full of hate
They wanna kill all the police tryin' to keep them safe
They shoot that badge of yours, right off your chest
They want a civil war
Pray for the left
They'll shoot that red hat off your head, then make a meme of your last breath
Cause you're not like them, so they want you dead, but, we'll still pray for the left
They'll say that they're hurt by things we said, then say we deserve it when we're dead
When we're shot in neck with our last breath, we'll still pray for the left
Prayin' for the left"

’There was a mini-conversation about Widespread Panic several days ago.’
I was involved in that exchange. A commenter had a friend (Corky?) who was a Spreadhead and the commenter had tried to help him out with substance issues. Weird that I may remember the friend’s name but not who posted the comment…
Just found out that a musician friend of mine died yesterday. Dave Gallagher, known professionally as Microwave Dave. An accomplished slide player and an authority on cigar box guitars. His band, Microwave Dave and the Nukes, toured clubs around the world and were particularly popular in France.
One of the kindest people I’ve ever known. He was a Vietnam Vet and made music and guitars his life after his return home. He was also very active in our church. A great soul. Damn.
Please have a listen…

The PM of Spain, declaring that he's just going to go ahead and import all those illegal aliens and pronounce them 'legal', is just doing what Progressives wish they could get away with doing everywhere else. Will Spain put up with it? They won't survive it unscathed, or maybe at all, that's what the track record everywhere else says. I'm not aware of any other times during our era of modern, mostly democratic governance, where our political leaders have conducted so many dangerous experiments that are openly to the disadvantage of the people they are responsible for governing.
In the annals of political power, we would seem to be in a time of harvest. What will things be like when winter comes?
As pointed out he wants to weaponize dissent against him like stwink starmer and mssr macron

This is the concept the right wing propagandists have been selling for years- everything is racist.
Why?
Because the more everything becomes racist, the more logical deduction is that the “everything” is not racist at all, therefore making their very own actual racism not racism, because, everything is racism.

Yet millions went to their end passively. Into the gas chambers or into a ditch, or just the side of the road.
One of the reasons for this was that there was no tradition of firearm ownership by the middle class in Europe or in Poland. By 1935 it was too late. They had constitutions but they had no Bill of Rights.
"It can't happen here."
It won't. Because your intended victims are armed.
"Sánchez’s essay is really an admission of moral collapse, and a frank declaration that he intends to destroy his nation in exchange for short-term economic gain."
A lot of globalist jiggery pokery went to ditch tradition and install him as PM in Spain, and now they get the payoff.
"When fascism comes to America, it will come under the banner of anti-fascism" - Saying
Of course it would take some self reflection not to be taken in, so no worries for the latest incarnation of fascism.
