Well, I'm sure they won't look this nice after a few Bums jiz it up.
The bats they passed out to us might have been 30 ouncers...sized for a child and made out of the weakest cuts off the tree.Kobia2 » 29 Nov 2023, 7:53 pm » wrote: ↑ Hahahahha....
I grew up a Yanks Fan.... We also had Bat Day, where they used to pass out full sized Louisville Sluggers.... Talk about not doing your homework ---- one year they hat Bat Day when our hated rivals the Red Sox were in Town.... Never seen so many Cops and ambulances at the Stadium...
The Cheap-Seat Bleachers in Right-Center field was known as Spic Seating.... The PRs would bring in their Congas, Bongos, and Timbales.. It sounded like the soundtrack to a Puerto Rican Porn flick...

No offense to my current state of residence but yes.. it is mostly a bedroom community. Reno is the bedroom community of Sacramento, Monterey, and SF while LV is the bedroom community for SoCal. Only when you get to the eastern 1/3 is this not true.
I like the weather in Reno for the most part. I do laugh until it hurts every January when folks freak out about 1/2 inch of snow. In Reno, it melts the next day in most years. It is not that big of a deal.
Auburn, Colfax, Placerville and Meadow Vista are in the vicinity of that river. The river is aka "Dog Bar River" too. It's usually got some man made swimming holes and some rope swings. Sand / gravel beaches. You gotta wear tennis shoes 100% of the time thanks to all the hidden trash...but during those times of the year whern it hits 100...this is the place to cool off.impartialobserver » 30 Nov 2023, 2:13 pm » wrote: ↑ From some google map searching, I assume that this is east of jackson, ca?

I'm pretty sure God said to slay the Yosemites.

There IS a cultural revolution taking place - and it has two sides. We focus a lot on this board on the sick side of it - but the sick side gets a reaction from those who oppose it. I suggest that standing in opposition to immorality lights a man's path as a side benefit.
We are a nation raised by wolves, thanks to our unique history. We had a quite large portion of our original population forced at gunpoint into the injun-infested wilderness, where mothers and fathers died in such numbers as to create generations of motherless and fatherless kids. Those kids grew up and raised their own kids with no model for how to parent children. The traumas redound to this day. We pet our dogs and beat our kids. Did you know that in many countries, the majority of kids grow up without beatings?
And this single has a B side, too. A rich continent laying in our laps and the prominence of our military has resulted in generations of Americans having **** You money. Couple this with liberalized divorce and abortion laws, and you end up with a country where the words **** you are uttered million times a day. We storm off from one another, swear off of one another, count our friendships and even familial relationships as onerous tasks instead of blessings.
Imagine if a substantial number of Americans begins to work on personal relationships, putting them first. Imagine that same number, impelled by financial hardship and drawn by the newfound wisdom that I believe attends standing against evil. Suddenly, 18 year olds are not in the same hurry to leave home, and parents are not in the same hurry to see them off. Families begin to realize that paying ONE electric bill is better than paying two; paying ONE rent or mortgage is better than paying two.
In Italy, guys at the age of 25 quite often are sleeping in the same room they grew up in, their moms attending their meals and laundry as the kid helps out with the costs of the home. Everybody is richer when they all eat from the same pot.
The mentality informing how Italians live would certainly create lower demand for dwellings on these shores. If you swapped out 330 million Italians for the folks here today, housing prices would crash like a Polish helicopter. But we don't need the calzones - just the culture. And I have a sneaking suspicion we are about to get it.
Hard times create a lot of context for people. They get creative. They make concessions. They hold each other in greater esteem - value each other more. They give more elbow room and ask less. I don't want to downplay the positive side of the situation - the opinion that opposing moral corruption polishes the person. But even without that driver, if we see a repeat of the 1930s era depression, we will see a repeat of the chipping in and working together that went on in those days. We will rediscover our wisdom and our communal nature, because our lives will depend on our doing so. I buy into the concept of morphic resonance. I consider its truth obvious. What came around will come around - and in the proper time, as required.
I say we're over-built. I say a crash is coming. But, hey - no one has ever paid me for financial advice. I'm just a blue collar guy whose dad keeps dying.

ps
The predictions about our doom have been around for so long and repeated in so many ways, is it possible that it's also part of our collective brainwashing?
I mean, our "exceptionalism" to which you alluded is trashed by doomsayers in equal measure.
It all depends on which website you frequent.
Which is truer? Our tainted wonderfulness or our over-predicted doom?

I've been convinced for my entire adult life that my country is about to have the big one and join Elizabeth.
It's our religion. We are a nation raised on the book of Revelations - and for no other reason than that it holds people's attention and makes the clock move faster. Preachers gotta do what they gotta do with a nation that loves the bible and never reads it. You don't want your congregation thinking about sunday chicken and tater salad. So ya bitch slap 'em with the four horsemen and pass the plate while the rubes' mouths are still agape. And depending on how ya pronounce agape, something genuinely holy could be afoot.
Amen, brother.
