This is the KISS principle — Keep It Simple Stupid. Mutt was kind enough to invite Houston and me to watch the Cats in the Bahamas. I don't get cable or dish, so I gratefully accepted his offer, even though we had not met before. We ate, watched the Cats, and drank more-or-less responsibly. We came, we saw, we consumed. I met Mutt and Houston for the first time and no fistfights occurred, at least not after I arrived. That's the whole deal. Anything else is just some people talking.
No politics were discussed. I do not know the political views of either Mutt or Houston and do not care to. We did discuss eating places in Lexington; Houston as a babe magnet; and geriatric, drunken Geology Professors. Oh, yeah, we also discussed the strengths and weaknesses of the 2022-2023 Men's Basketball team. I won't reveal our thoughts on the latter because this site might be monitored by opposing coaches. As our considerations gel, we will pass them on to Coach Cal, as requested.
We are not a bloc in lock-step. Based on previous, private messages, I now realize that I will have to lecture Mutt sternly as to the culinary adequacies and inadequacies of cornbread. Who eats baked cornbread? It has to be fried.
Finally, despite Mutt's charitable protestations to the contrary, I wouldn't go so far as to describe our Tres Amigos as gentlemen, except in the very loosest terms. And that's alright by me.

I'm sure everything was great and all involved are and will continue to be fine gentlemen and all was hunky dory.
That why the introduction of race was irritating in this thread and ignoring the political landscape right now falls right in line with America being in the mess it is right now.
That's the turn. All of us are under attack, our kids are under attack, the Constitution is under attack, but Jackson Blow is coming from Pawtucket to bounce balls for F Calbert, so LA DE DAH.
Our Country is in trouble folks.

Again, race was interjected like breathing into this thread. Not sure why, other than its the Marxists excuse for everything, all the while they are saying if you are white and male, you are bad. The ones saying that are white males. Marxism/Communism/World domination isn't any better now than it was in WW2. Sadly, the Nazis weren't defeated, just Germany. Then the Nazis were paperclipped into America and Ukraine. This shit is getting old fast. Lets get all the RINOS and Dems out of DC and start the New America right here outside of the District of Columbia where the old Corporation of the US resided. PS. Biden is just a puppet for Obama and Obama is a puppet himself. The takedown of America was to happen in 2017 on but we broke the cheat in 2016. ...yeah.....it wasn't just that race was bought into it, which was purty sad....it wasn't that Mutt posted to us once again that he's married to a black woman...or that his black grandchildren are so good...to me, and i'm just an old salty Sailor who grew up as well as others in the ole' USN to call a spade a spade (no pun intended), in the USN, out at sea, that is not an environment that ANYONE is immune from being called out on anything...that's the way i am....i call it as i see it.....i don't need social lessons from anyone...if the truth be known, i'm more versed in social issues more than anyone on here...just the way i see it....if we can't make a couple of jokes about hcat turning his van in for a bus to drive lib voters to the polls, then seems to me there are just too many pussies out there than what i thought....so what it morphed into was a social lesson from Mutt, tells us who his wife is, and that his grandchildren are so good...well, i sure do think that anyone else who has grandchildren posting on here are just as good as Mutt's and they think alot about them as well....well, i just don't understand anyone who wants to be braggadocious about anything going on in their life...guess i'm just quite the opposite....the people who i grew up around didn't seem to have the need to brag about anything....if in their heart and soul, they truly know who they are, then you don't need to expound on things to try and make yourself feel or look better.....i, truly am dirt, and salt of the earth, i'm not perfect, but i fully know who i am...and, i don't need to brag about anything at all.....i's am, who's i am....ok, so, i do brag about Old Milwaukee Lights....you can take the old salt out of the Navy, but you can't take the Navy out of the old salt.....ain't trying to call Mutt out here, but am i the only one who feels like he was tryin' to give us some kinda social lesson?...i can't be... ...i'm sure Mutt and I could drink beer and play some pool till the cows come home back in the sticks and have a hella time.........................................................

I see America in the crosshairs, actually the whole World, and it's unimaginable that they aren't even talking about it. It's insanity, or Stockholm Syndrome, or both. Hell it may be me, but I just cant sit back and watch someone driving down the freeway at 75 miles an hour asleep and not try to wake them up.

Wouldn't called Rose boring per say. He was very effective at what he did ..... getting base hits. I will say he was one of the moat clutch players ever when it mattered most. And he was the best player on the best baseball Dynasty not named Yankees.

TY COBB was a baseball "WORKER"--he left the "playing" to others. Cobb WORKED at a MAN's sport.
