    Haha. Floyd is such a bitch for not fighting him in his prime.

    Well......she is a psychologist and holds a Ph.D, which all adds to her view from the front row seats. But I just finished the book and she really did have him nailed. She pretty much saw the whole current shit show coming.

    I’ve hung with @MARIS61 twice and he’s a very nice guy. Never said a political word either time. And I’ve socialized with @HailBlazers several times and always look forward to it. He’s a unicorn (young Republican) which is always interesting, especially in Oregon (though I don’t recall us ever talking politics either). Getting acquainted with a swath of the membership helps keep things in perspective when the world starts pissing us all off......

    My grandparents came from from Mexico for the betterment of our family..... I could never be around Maris because of his views and what he has posted about immigrants. That would NEVER happen.

    New video coming to light showing assault on police, chants of hang Mike Pence

    People who work there say it's a labyrinth, even Congresspeople have trouble finding rooms, but these outsiders knew exactly how to get to various offices. Question: who tipped them off.

    And finally, these terrorists gleefully posted pictures of their crimes on social media and now are stunned they are losing jobs and some, too few, have actually been arrested. One dude issued tearful mea culpa realizing he could face a long prison term. Absolutely shocked their god emperor didn't protect them and actions have consequences.

    The people who did this are not rednecks though. Rednecks are a lot of things, but willing to over throwing the government that aren't.

    Had a couple of beers with ABM along with wings, my lemon cardamom cupcakes, and. Blazers game. No drinks with Maris. We ate some of my home cooking, went to the beach in St Andrew's State Park, his wife stepped on a sand spur. Then we got oysters and iced tea on a patio over the gulf of Mexico. I also left my dirty socks in his little rental car. Haha

    I think you're probably the closest thing S2 will ever have to a Jack Kerouac

    Last boxer I followed was Marvelous Marvin Hagler...to me one of the most skilled boxers left or right handed (it didn't matter with him) I've ever seen in a ring....he got robbed by Sugar Ray Leonard in his last match...he beat Sugar Ray.....retired in Italy and never came back...I was a big boxing fan until after that

    I met Maris at a meet and greet and he was a nice guy although I was coming off back to back 12 hour graveyard shifts and blurry that day.....I don't talk politics with most folks I encounter at all. Try to find common ground which, when you're at Moda Center is pretty easy to do
