The Coffee House

Don't these hockey players know it's getting late for OT? Stop putzing around and score already.

The Las Vegas Knights tweeted that the playoffs have taken 10 years off their lives and they're only 1 year old.

We have a former player there too, he's getting a lot of ice time tonight, scored one goal and an assist.

Yay! scored halfway into OT, thank you! none of this 2 OT stuff tonight.

What do you think about the Nashville team restricting playoff ticket sales to their own local tv area and now the Lightning posting a policy that those who buy club seats will not be allowed to wear the opposing teams colors. So if a Bruins fan wants to fly to Tampa to see a game they can’t wear their Bruins T-shirt in the stands? Seems like a pretty bush league policy to me! Cmon Tampa. If you want to play in the big leagues, the invasion of fans from out of town is part of that. I guess Tampa’s not confident enough in their own fan base filling their seats!

... and a bashing of one's First Amendment rights. It's Un-American!

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers ... from dreary SoCal. Gary is having his second sip from a new batch of coffee. Gary's been drinking tea in the mornings because he's been too busy (lazy) to roast up a pound or two. No complaints about tea, but coffee wakes you up. A real kick in the pants. mmmmhhh, hot, Colombian Supremo, Gary can taste the rainforests steaming away in his cup. The warm Magdalena River trickling down his throat. Real coffee is a blessing (and a kick in the pants to boot).

4 and roughly 29 minutes to make 10.5 for the week so far. Got the first large grill I assembled to see if I could make the lid for better. Turns out I could indeed.
Enjoying biscuits and sausage and gravy.
Post Office, box at the front of the neighborhood and then home after this.

After more coffee ... and more thoughts on the above matter:
Gary is not a Bruin fan ... both Boston and especially UCLA ... don't give a rat's ... but that Tampa crap has just flipped me. Go Boston!!!!

Not letting the opposing teams fans wear their colors truly sucks. I imagine that the next step in this snowflake world is nobody keeps score and both teams win "Participation Medals".

(Gary is now scanning Amazon for a Boston jersey ...)

Hey, that bread sounds interesting - I've not found one at my store for less than 60 calories/slice

We've been eating this for over a year and works for us. Delightful™ Healthy Multi-Grain Bread

Gary makes his own bread.

Our PO Box is up for renewal. I offered since I'm getting a good check tomorrow to pay it for a year. No answer just yet.
And in my above post "for" should have been "fit". Not sure how that happened but happen it did.
Computer is working ok. But if I leave it alone for long enoughn it goes to No Input. Moving the mouse or hitting enter on the keyboard brings it right up.
So it's a lot like a screensaver, but not.

OK. Might be heading towards DFW - not sure, yet.

Of course he does, because he is the

The NHL needs to really dump Bettman, he has really ruined the NHL in my opinion. Sure it started with the player lockout / strike but still, it's a fantastic sport. I still watch and follow it but so many things are keeping it down. This is one that makes zero sense from a logical view. Who cares, sell tickets is what I'd be doing as an owner. However, Tampa pretty much sells out at home, every game, as does Nashville. They really can do whatever they want because the games are going to be sold out regardless of whatever, stupid rules they put in place. Most hockey arenas seat roughly 17-20 thousand. People are going to the games but these are true hockey fans mainly. The TV and national exposure is crap. I think the game, generally is good but the product is seriously lacking. Fighting (or lack there of), recognizable players, shoot outs, overtime, clutching and grabbing, goalie area, HUGE goalie equipment, player sticks, small size of ice, are things that come to mind. Watch an international hockey game and NHL game back to back, and tell me what you think. The size of the ice rink alone is very different. The International game is way more exciting to watch for me. Don't get me wrong, I love the game because I am a real fan but some serious changes need to be made. OK rant over, I feel better now.

In the N.Y. Times crossword today was the clue (3 down) “Early means of providing light for a photograph.” The answer was “flashlamp.” I’d never seen that word before. Were there flash lamps? Sounds like an oxymoron to me.

Old cameras had a "M" setting for bulbs. Later cameras had both "X" for flash and "M" for bulbs. I suspect flash lamp means the "M" type bulb. [corrected- I initially said "B" instead of "M"].

 

[JonA_CT]

But doesn’t the B bulb literally mean a bulb that you’d use as a shutter release?
