I think just about the entire country is getting the Giants game, except you in upstate NY, and me in Charlotte.

Does he ever?

Sounds like some good news:

I'm so sorry, @Bastet

The AG is an elected position. I don't know when Jamie would be up for re-election next, but if the AG term extends past the Governor's, he could still be in office when John or an opponent takes office. They could try to force him to resign, but they couldn't just replace him. That seemed really odd, you would think he would have noticed. I guess he was too busy on his phone to pay attention to the horses.

Or send his political opponents to the train station...

All those things she said he could do to stop the developers - making decisions and pushing through laws to benefit his ranch - would be an enormous conflict of interest on his part, never mind her involvement in any of it.. We loved that scene. GF asked how they did that, since the feds had so much trouble rounding them up. I said it was some of that Indian Magic that Mo knows.

If he liked dogs, maybe he would be such a horrible person.

I’ve had a number of “interesting” things happen in airplanes, but probably the most memorable happen 35 years ago this week, December 16, 1986. I was a young Air Force co-pilot flying the KC-135 tanker, stationed at Grissom AFB north of Indianapolis. We were scheduled for a typical mission, some practice refueling with a B-52 then a navigation leg, where the Nav directed us using readings the Boom Operator took using a sextant, then back home to beat up the pattern for a while. My Aircraft Commander was trying to upgrade to Instructor Pilot, so we had another IP along. The night before, I get a call saying our mission was changed – we were going to refuel a B-1 bomber, which had only started to enter service at the time. Turns out it was the last of the original B-1A development aircraft, being flown to the Air Force Museum in Dayton, Ohio – he was going to be light on fuel to make it into the short museum runway, but if the weather wouldn’t allow him to land, we were going to have to give him fuel to get back to California. We launch early in the morning, meet up with the B-1, made sure we could pass him gas, then hung out until he landed and cleared us off. We then went on our original mission, hit the B-52, flew the nav leg, and headed back to Grissom. Being the middle of December in Indiana, there was a snowstorm and we couldn’t land, so we diverted to KI Sawyer AFB on the upper peninsula of Michigan. We got some gas, checked the weather, and made some plans. The AC and IP wanted to try back at Grissom, but looking at the forecast, I knew we weren’t getting in, and if we came back to Sawyer, the weather was going to be crappy by the time we got back. Two majors outranked one lieutenant, so off we go…didn’t get in to Grissom, and headed back to Sawyer. By the time we get there, it’s dark, low clouds, gusty winds blowing around the heavy falling snow. The IP and AC were in the front seats, and I was playing Co-pilot from the jump seat between and behind them. We shot the instrument approach twice without landing. On the third try, as we got to “decision height” 200 feet above the ground, and descending at 600 feet per minute, one of the pilots said “I think I see the runway.” All I could see was the glow of the approach strobe lights through the blowing snow. Not wanting to die that night, I keyed the intercom button and in my best command voice said “GO AROUND!” They pushed up the power, went around, and we headed to Minot AFB in North Dakota, where it was about 6 degrees, but clear weather since the storm had blown through. We spent the night and flew home to Grissom the next day.

I'm a long time fan of his music, and that's one of my favorites of his - it actually was released about 20 years ago, but it is fitting for this.

They have been at odds for a while now. About a year ago, they were late on rent payments to the city of Glendale. The city had already ended negotiations on a lease extension and announced they would evict the team when the lease expires at the end of this season. They performed an economic impact study and determined the city could make as much from 20 concerts as 40+ Coyote games. Coyotes owner Alex Meruelo is still trying to see what city he can extort a new arena from, as it looks like they won't be back in Glendale next season.

SouthLand had an episode where it snowed in Los Angeles. Crazy thing was, the same day it aired, it actually did snow in LA. I'm watching the episode that night thinking "How did they do that???"

I fondly remember the days when I had no idea who the Giants' back up QB was, never mind try to figure out who the back up to the back up is...

Welcome, @Mamaspartan! The actress is Piper Perabo She’s been in a bunch of stuff over the years, probably best known for “Coyote Ugly”.

It is still to come.

I wonder if there is some standard language in the now-expired CBA giving MLB the rights to display player photographs, and with no CBA in effect, that permission is not valid?

Did they ever hire you directly, or are you still a contractor? Because I've never heard of a contractor going through that process.

Probably very few, especially considering what happened to at least two of her assistants...

Spoiler tagged in case anyone here is planning to binge MoK at a later date.

I recognized the voice right away, but probably wouldn't have know it was him just from seeing him.

Governor. I think that cooled off when they started clashing over the airport and other developments surrounding the ranch. When this episode was over, I said "It felt like nothing happened." And the GF said "Yes, and why are the rodeo girls still around?"

Save a seat for me!

I've had a couple of recruiters do that, including one or two in the past month. More so if you are working through an agency, as they are probably looking to place you somewhere, and if there is feedback that can help that process, they want to pass it along.

I checked IMDB, this is honestly the first thing I've ever seen Renner in.

Lloyd is the "senior" member of the crew, and really the leader of the bunkhouse. Even if he didn't start the fight, Rip feels it should have been on him to stop it before it got out of hand.
