Random - did anyone know UNC and WF played, as a non-conference game in 2019?

That's a good account.
Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors, by James Hornfischer, is a good book on the subject.

When I say, "The other day," I could be referring to any time between yesterday and 15 years ago.
 
Interviewer: "So, tell me about yourself."
Me: "I'd rather not. I kinda want this job."
 
Cop: "Please step out of the car."
Me: "I'm too drunk. You get in."

I remember being able to get up without making sound effects.
I had my patience tested. I'm negative.
If you're sitting in public and a stranger takes the seat next to you, just stare straight ahead and say "Did you bring the money?"
When you ask me what I am doing today, and I say "nothing," it does not mean I am free.  It means I am doing nothing.
Age 60 might be the new 40, but 9:00 is new midnight.
I finally got eight hours of sleep. It took me three days, but whatever.
I run like the winded.
I hate when a couple argues in public, and I missed the beginning and don't know whose side I'm on.
When someone asks what I did over the weekend, I squint and ask, "Why, what did you hear?"
I don't remember much from last night, but the fact that I needed sunglasses to open the fridge this morning tells me it was awesome.
When you do squats, are your knees supposed to sound like a goat chewing on an aluminum can stuffed with celery?
I don't mean to interrupt people. I just randomly remember things and get really excited.
When I ask for directions, please don't use words like "east."
It's the start of a brand-new day, and I'm off like a herd of turtles.
Don't bother walking a mile in my shoes. That would be boring.
Spend 30 seconds in my head. That'll freak you right out.
That moment when you walk into a spider web suddenly turns you into a karate master.
Sometimes, someone unexpected comes into your life outta nowhere, makes your heart race, and changes you forever. We call those people cops.
The older I get, the earlier it gets late.
My luck is like a bald guy who just won a comb.[/font][/font][/font][/font][/font][/font][/color]

weird thing the convo reminded me of: 

an old fella lived across the street from me for a long time before he finally passed... old- real old.. he was a doctor during WWII old... So he lived there alone and i lived alone too at the time.  it was between Christmas and NY's and i was watching football- during a commercial i looked out toward his place and noticed his living room lit up blue at the same time mine did.. went dark when mine did... lit up white or red or whatever- he was watching the same game i was... i made a decision to ask him over for dinner, as i wondered where all his 'people' were in his life for him to be shut in that time of year... 

a couple days later i saw him in his yard and went to speak to him... he introduced himself and apologized for not coming over and introducing himself, just as he had at least a dozen times before... poor fella.... but anyway i brought up football and asked him if he wanted to come over and have dinner and watch a game.... 

so he tells me using language that made me really believe him about how bad he HATES college football.  but then he tells me something i didn't know- during the war- i think he said '42? the Rose Bowl was played in NC... Raleigh to be exact.. and the Duke Blue Devils played Oregon State Beavers... I didn't know this at the time, and thought he was just scrambled in the head.... after a bit i stepped off and got back to my house, gladly alone with the dog and happy he didn't take me up on my offer... who the hell doesn't like College Football? Seriously..... 

uh....

turns out he was right.  you'd think i would have known this.. I may have shared this here before... i can't recall... could be i'm headed the same direction as that old fella....

friends birthday.... and i missed his wife's... repentance...






Sapele and Curly Maple... it's 12.5" wide and 17" long, and 1.75" thick... the resin will set tonight and i'll run it through the planer once again, making the top smooth... the big letters are inset curly maple, 1/4" thick... the small lettering is flooded with resin and has curly maple sawdust floated in it--- i hope it turns out well, because right now (before i carve the resin flat) it looks pretty cool- sort of a 3d effect..

and.... i guy i tolerate came by, drank a bunch of my beer, and made a suggestion... i HATE i never thought of it.. I'll hold on to what he offered as suggestion until i actually make one.... but let me say this is the last of this style of board.  there is a way i'd never considered using that CNC Router that never occurred to me.. other than inlays, i just make these boards when i collect enough scrap material that doesn't have another purpose... but the next one? I'll be leveraging that thing in a way i've never seen done before, and... i think they will be freaking SUPER cool.

I did. I found out it was in Durham first, which seemed random as hell.  But made more sense when I saw Duke was in it.

Years ago that was reviewed by a writer in an article I was reading and he really liked it and gave us a 2 thumbs

That is a super-nice cutting board.

And yeah, the "Rose" bowl was played at Dook that year. Organizers were afraid that the "Japs" might bomb Pasadena.
