    THE NEW D-LEAGUE

    Good morning folks. Clear and hot in the east. Did a 4-mile run and am struggling to get rehydrated before my wife hauls me to church. Heard from my son. His crew is now working overnights, trying to build a fire break and burn a dead zone ahead of the Ferris fire. He says they have a...

    Why do Pope products really seem to struggle in the NBA

    The trolls are down to seeds and stems. If this is the best they can do to try to stir up negativity that’s actually a great sign that Pope is doing things right.

    THE NEW D-LEAGUE

    Happy 4th folks, and Happy 250th America. Seems like a blink of the eye since the BiCenntennial. Half a century. I was in the Chugach Mountains of Alaska working on the Trans Alaska Pipeline. There was a dusting of snow up in the mountains that settled on the pipeline, so we pelted each other...

    THE NEW D-LEAGUE

    Howdy folks. Hot and muggy in the east. I waited a bit long to go on my 4-mile run, and it was already in the mid-80s. Just been lazing around trying to get rehydrated since (we're off today as our 4th holiday.) Just got a long text from my son. He's out of the fire line of that Ferris Wild...

    If you could pick one basketball season KY could have won it all which would it be?

    I think there is only one rational answer to this question: 1975. Kentucky adds a title, UCLA loses one. The Cats are that much closer to the only major achievement held by another program: most NCAA titles. It also would have capped my favorite tournament of all time, and brought greater...

    THE NEW D-LEAGUE

    VH -- End of an era. Or error. I wish I could say I did not know that establishment of which you speak. But I had more than my share of experiences at the Brass *** back in the 1970s. The older brother of my best friend in high school was some sort of fixer or hanger-on for the half-assed...

    Mitch Barnhart’s UK tenure is finished, but J Batt’s start date is still unclear...

    Repeat after me: Mitch Barnhart is gone, without the giant bag of cash he planned to steal. And that's a massive positive for the University of Kentucky The rest is filling out paper work. Somebody had a story deadline at the Herald Leader and is inventing a giant Nothing Burger of an issue...

    THE NEW D-LEAGUE

    Good morning folks. Hot and humid in the east. Last work day for this week. Glad to see the USA advance in the World Cup, but yesterday's games proved again to me why after decades of trying (I used to go to Ft. Lauderdale Stryker games all the back in the 1970s) I can't really care about...

    THE NEW D-LEAGUE

    Good morning folks. Sunny and warm in the east. A beautiful day. Got a text from my son that came in overnight. He was going to get a break today, then they told him to expect to sleep on the ground the next two weeks, and they'd supply them with water and MREs while they make a major push t...

    THE NEW D-LEAGUE

    Howdy folks. Thanks for sharing that information Beatle. I hadn’t seen that. My son remains out on the line, sleeping in tents and eating MREs, then back to work. He says whoever is running the effort to contain the fire has decided to stand up a new attack team on Thursday and he’s been picked...

    World Cup Thread

    Just as well for Germany. France was going to destroy Germany like it was 1940 and Germany was France.

    THE NEW D-LEAGUE

    Good morning folks. Overcast and muggy in the east. I had an uneasy evening and night after seeing a news Bulletin that three US Department of Interior firefighters had been killed out along the Colorado-Utah border. I knew my son was out on a crew fighting those fires, and all my efforts to...

    THE NEW D-LEAGUE

    Good morning folks. Rainy day in the east. Headed out for a run in a light mist but it was a steady rain before I finished and got back home. I hope none of you or your family or friends are directly impacted by the Kentucky floods.

    Mr. 63%: Why Context Is Inseparable from the Statistic

    I don't know who is right. But I know who is lying: Everyone who claims to have actually read that entire OP.

    THE NEW D-LEAGUE

    Good morning folks. Waited out a long rain and am now on along hike. Whew. If the ocean would measure 100 percent humidity, then the air im walking in is 99 percent. My wife is getting back from her adventure in Portugal tomorrow, so my last day to totally control the TV watching YouTube games...
