Odd Note:
"
Names of citizens, workers, mothers and fathers,
The bright-eyed daughter, the quick son.
Alphabet of names in a green field.
Names in the small tracks of birds.
Names lifted from a hat
Or balanced on the tip of the tongue.
Names wheeled into the dim warehouse of memory.
So many names, there is barely room on the walls of the heart.
"
― Billy Collins

FIRST!!!!!!!

And since you bring up Billy Collins:

Today
BY BILLY COLLINS
If ever there were a spring day so perfect,
so uplifted by a warm intermittent breeze

that it made you want to throw
open all the windows in the house

and unlatch the door to the canary's cage,
indeed, rip the little door from its jamb,

a day when the cool brick paths
and the garden bursting with peonies

seemed so etched in sunlight
that you felt like taking

a hammer to the glass paperweight
on the living room end table,

releasing the inhabitants
from their snow-covered cottage

so they could walk out,
holding hands and squinting

into this larger dome of blue and white,
well, today is just that kind of day.


... And since I bring up one "Today" by a great "Billy C.," don't mind if I do have another one...

Under which Constitutional provision does the federal government have the authority to make criminals out of people by outlawing something privately possessed and legally purchased?

True but look at how good that post was.

Playoff hockey is almost upon us.

I found a honey nut cheerio in my regular cheerios once by accident. I reported it but nothing was done. I have kept close eye on general mills from then on. Fiber is important. But not as important as honesty and integrity.

Can't wait to watch the Greatest Team Ever Assembled lose in the first round this year.

They drank the unicorn's blood. Now their lives are but half lives.

Naw, no fucks given. Except for my man-crush on Crosby.

Can you find them?

The panthers have no reason to suck. Every year I say ''this is the year they break out.'' Nope. They suck until proven otherwise. To be fair they'd be a lot better if they didn't give away Marchessault and Smith for absolutely nothing.

I REALLY wished i cared more about this. I just think bump stocks are so stupid and lame though.

I blame the newer logo and uniforms.

You don't like them? I think they're pretty sharp.

Sure, but that has no bearing on Constitutionality. I don't care about religion but would still speak out against banning a religious practice.
