Fleet had the scoreboard and Bank of Boston had the benches, JJ must've made a fortune just playing the banks against each other.

Jacobs despised the person who ran Fleet but he would get the last laugh when the bank approved a massive loan to

Jacobs wanted the Shawmut name to survive knowing full well fans and media would call the arena the Fleece Center.

@dafoomie JJ was very aware that not only were the banks important so were the downtown law firms the banks hired because they bought the luxury seats.

June 4th would have been my parents 75th anniversary.

This was their 25th. My two sisters and I had a surprise party for them at the Bull Run in Shirley MA.

We all had a blast.

Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is saying that this appears to have been intentional.

OJ Simpson's infamous Bronco chase with LA cops turns THIRTY

Rather than turning himself in, the Heisman winner climbed into the back of his friend and former teammate's Ford Bronco for a leisurely paced police chase through the LA freeways.

Intentional as in suicide or intentional as in someone's still out there looking to blow houses up?

They did not specify. Hopefully there's no crazy house bomber on the loose.

If I owned a house, two of my biggest irrational (but totally rational!! lol) fears would be 1. gas explosion 2. falling into a sinkhole. I still get shivers thinking about that guy in Florida who went to bed and his house fell into a sinkhole overnight and they couldn't rescue him so that's where he died.

So far so good with the heat at the Cave. Got two fans going in my room, which is cooler than the rest of the house (except for the basement which is another option). The A/C will probably be turned on later this week. Lots of iced tea too ( Twinings Cold Brew ftw).

I have 3 levels (condex). Bottom is cellar and garage, middle is living room, dining room kitchen and half bath, top level full bath and 2 bedrooms.

I keep fans going and often sleep with one pulling in the night air from the back yard/ woods.

When it gets REAL hot the only air conditioner, I have is a ductless in the living room. Looks like I will be sleeping on the pullout couch later this week. That air conditioner works well in the middle level. When I get rich, I will put another in my bedroom.

Yesterday was beautiful...like Sept.

Today is nice.

Starting tomorrow it will be my LEAST favorite weather (hot and humid). I would rather snow.

Do you like it so far? I've seen feeders and birdbaths like those on Amazon and was really interested. When I plan out my garden in the new house I might look into getting one.

Ya. Only been a day but its pretty cool. It also functions as a security camera. Has night vision and can set for it to audible alarm and light up.
The AI for determining bird type isnt that accurate but thats ok.

This is the one they got me.

Once it hits 85 degrees out, I'm done.

Summer is gross.

I gave my sister one last year and she loves it.

On a related note, get the Merlin app if you don’t have it. I sit on my porch and have it identify birds by sound.
