At least they're staying in Cincinnati.

Who's moving???

The Bengals were looking to relocate if they didn't get their stadium situation sorted out, which they did.

Again? The one that replaced Riverfront isn't that old.
Are the Reds doing the same thing? Crosley, Riverfront, Great Amercan?

I didn't see anything on the Reds. The Bengals are going to renovate their current stadium.

They've been saying that since the 80's.

I'm giving everyone negative rep for responding to the 3rd, 4th, 5th thread by a certain person about the same topic. Seems pretty silly to encourage that and give him the attention he wants.

What if he posts a thread and nobody opens it?

What fun is that? Naw, I’m gonna let him have what he deserves.

I remember high pressure domes from the past, but this streak has been brutal. I have long had a rule against shorts for my field techs, but I finally caved and said do what you guys need to do.

Well, that explains it then. *grumbles* Still, as the Brits would say, you're a fair cop. (Or something like that. lol) Really, that would be most ideal, but, well, you know...the internet and all that. lol Besides, you're right. He loves the attention, even if we're just mocking him. So we should stop giving it to him. But will we though? To be honest, probably not, because again, the internet and stuff.

I've been MIA, just doing hits here and there..

Update on ol' G..

I have two different projects going on.
I got a nice mid-year bump in pay.
I've been put in for a promotion for the EOY.
I quit nicotine again. Been 2 weeks since I had a Zyn or a dip.
I'm heading to Oklahoma for a week here in a few days to see my BIL and his family.
When I get back I'll be in the midst of a dry month.
In a few weeks we'll be celebrating the kid's 10th birthday and the opening of college football.
In related news, the kid is interested in football (finally) and I'm working on getting tickets to a game for the local college (my company has season tix, just trying to get tix for a game that won't be a big crowd)

Has anyone ever heard of "Corn Sweat" before? Apparently an acre of corn evaporates 4,000+ gallons of water per day. In areas of the midwest, this contributes to the high humidity!

Quote:A heat dome — plus the "corn sweat" phenomenon in some areas — is bringing dangerous levels of heat and humidity to much of the country east of the Rockies this week.

Why it matters: Heat warnings and advisories stretch from Louisiana and the Florida panhandle up to Chicago and beyond as of Tuesday afternoon, covering nearly 85 million Americans.

Driving the news: The main driver is hot, moist air being drawn up from the Atlantic and trapped by a high pressure ridge.

• Also contributing in some places: "Corn sweat," wherein vast amounts of growing corn and other produce give off moisture through evapotranspiration, further increasing humidity levels in and around agricultural zones.
• "While corn sweat is never the main reason for major heat," Axios Des Moines' Linh Ta wrote back in 2023, "it can add to it."

We have a trip to Maine coming up in a few weeks. Looking forward to the cooler weather up there.

Congrats on the raise and the pending promotion. Good on you for quitting nicotine! I always find this quote from Mark Twain humorous:

"Giving up smoking is the easiest thing in the world. I know because I've done it thousands of times"

European or African?

In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey
Butane in my veins and I'm out to cut the junkie
With the plastic eyeballs, spray-paint the vegetables
Dog food stalls with the beefcake pantyhose

Kill the headlights and put it in neutral
Stock car flamin' with a loser and the cruise control
Baby's in Reno with the vitamin D
Got a couple of couches, sleep on the love-seat

Someone came in sayin' I'm insane to complain
About a shotgun wedding and a stain on my shirt
Don't believe everything that you breathe
You get a parking violation and a maggot on your sleeve
So shave your face with some mace in the dark
Savin' all your food stamps and burnin' down the trailer park
Yo, cut it

Soy un perdedor
Tanq's a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?
(Double-barrel buckshot)

Grandfather used to say once you are a smoker, you are always a smoker. Sometimes it's a really long time inbetween smokes though. We were going fishing one day and he bought a pack at the gas station where we got bait. Smoked one one the way to the lake, through the pack out and said that'll hold me over for a couple years.

It's been about a year since my last one and everyonce in awhile I'll catch the smell of smoke mixed with something else and I swear to God I start drooling

I smoked 2+ packs a day for 23 years, from age 19 to 43. I quit 6 times before it finally stuck. Haven't smoked since Nov of 1989.

Hardest thing I ever did in my life.

About 14 years ago, I had bladder cancer, and had two large tumors removed. My urologist said it was almost certainly caused by smoking, and I was lucky as hell it didn't kill me.
