@Double-Shift Lasse I wrote about our songs. There`re similar style like Ivan Mládek. But today died one of the best Slovak and Czech singers, and my favourite, Miroslav "Meky" Žbirka. Only because of it I put here my favourite song from him - Atlantída:

I won`t write more songs (video) here.

Sad. He was not very old.

I listened to that song and 5-6 more on YouTube. I like his voice. Had I lived in Czechoslovakia in the 80s I suspect I would have been a fan.

69 years.

I`m pleasantly shocked. Yes, he, Marika Gombitová, Elán... there are/were real legends. Now we don`t have them (legends).

Btw it would be interesting if people from different countries put here songs from their countries. Or songs which aren`t so well known. For example I like "Ohio" by Damien Jurado, "Willin`" by Linda Ronstadt or "Ring the bells" by James. The last two thanks to film "The Abyss" by James Cameron and "X-Files".

Anyone have an extra Columbus Dispatch of the jackets sweeping Tampa ? My wife threw mine away- looking to buy or trade.

Happy Thanksgiving, fellow hockey fans in Columbus!

Anyone get a Holiday Pack? Where is the voucher for the tee? Is there a specific place to redeem it in the arena? Thanks in advance.

 

[KallioWeHardlyKnewYe]

Why not indeed.

West Broad and Belle.

Sure to make a bunch of rich folk a lot of dough and not do much else.

"After a year of housing sales highs, Columbus is projected to continue that trend in 2022 as one of the top five markets positioned for growth in the country, according to Realtor.com."

....so I just closed on a place on 12/1. I got it for $30,000 less than the direct comparison that sold in May. Prices seem to be coming down from what I saw when I was looking, but this goes against that.

Hilarious obit

Obituaries in Fayetteville, NC | Fayetteville Observer

A plus-sized Jewish lady redneck died in El Paso on Saturday.

Of itself hardly news, or good news if you're the type that subscribes to the notion that anybody not named you dying in El Paso, Texas is good news. In which case have I got news for you: the bawdy, fertile, redheaded matriarch of a sprawling Jewish-Mexican-Redneck American family has kicked it. This was not good news to Renay Mandel Corren's many surviving children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, many of whom she even knew and, in her own way, loved. There will be much mourning in the many glamorous locales she went bankrupt in: McKeesport, PA, Renay's birthplace and where she first fell in love with ham, and atheism; Fayetteville and Kill Devil Hills, NC, where Renay's dreams, credit rating and marriage are all buried; and of course Miami, FL, where Renay's parents, uncles, aunts, and eternal hopes of all Miami Dolphins fans everywhere, are all buried pretty deep.

Renay was preceded in death by Don Shula.

I will always remember the MTV video for this. It really hit the spirit for me. Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all!

Happy New Year, neighbors!

Hey All,

Dumb question. I signed up for the Disney+ Hulu ESPN+ streaming package a couple of weeks ago. I have an area of Hulu where I can access "ESPN+" which usually has a selection of live NHL games as well as some truly niche sports (women's professional cricket from India being the most prominent) and some of the ESPN documentaries and such.

But what I'm wondering is whether this means I have actual live ESPN somehow, like I can get ESPN1 and 2 (and even The Ocho!) or is ESPN+ its own thing separate from the "broadcast" ESPN channels? Anyone know?

ESPN+ is separate from ESPN broadcast

Possible semiconductor factory could be biggest investment in Ohio

Ohio is believed to be in the running for what would be its biggest economic development prize of all time: a major computer chip-making operation with a potential investment of tens of billions of dollars.

State and local officials along with those from JobsOhio have officially declined to comment, but rumors have been rampant for months of a massive economic development project potentially coming to the region that could include a computer-chip factory.

The rumors have come as the city of New Albany is preparing to annex 3,190 acres from Jersey Township in western Licking County for an expansion of the New Albany International Business Park.

“I can’t confirm or announce economic development projects until they are finalized and I won’t address details in press reports speculating about the possibility of a major semiconductor manufacturing facility being built and operated in Ohio," Gov. Mike DeWine said in a statement Tuesday.

Ohio’s incorporation laws are so 1880s.

We will lose but be complimented on how nice and competitive our bid was. We’ll feel good about ourselves for being in the running.

New Albany has nailed down some nice competitive commercial projects in recent years. That said, I suspect you're right about this one.
