OT: Off-Topic, again.

I know of several people within the last week or two that have gotten laid off outside of those that were with me obviously. Seems based on news reports lots of companies are starting to dump people. Lets just hope that isn't a trend.

Yeah, 650+ Here

I had a friend at NEC or whatever they're called now for 30+ years who got laid off (again) recently. He's now working at Nissan, I'm guessing his graphic days are over.

My sister and my best friend from home both worked there back in the 80's--she in Huntsville, he in Ohio. I can't remember what they changed names to. Sis was in graphics and industrial design, BF was in the finance end. I read both their resumes and understood nothing they did -- but I could spell it, so that's why they had me proofing.

Waiting on that Keifer jersey to arrive at the house after the Prague gold auction ended last night. He's done as a Pred if I own his jersey.

Could swear I remember you posting a pic of yourself chugging a bottle of Arbor mist... maybe during the @Viqsi road trip?

Ice wine, Guinness, and cocktails with vodka are faves but I'm in my 40's boost chugging was 20 years ago.

Literally - on page 2 of this thread is the one time I've seen you do that and at this point the photo is 19 years old.

I just declined the option to pre-order this season's retro reverse gamers. $1250 for Smith or Lauzon was a bit more than I was willing to cough up.

They do look pretty good in person. I saw one up close last night first time. Not a gamer type, just normal off the rack jersey. But something interesting for anyone who collects jerseys ... guy who bought one last night was showing me how the little NHL crest on front links to NFT via your phone ... virtual stuff (only way I know to describe it). He said he was told that only the ones from the arena had this feature.

We went to State Fair Park to the annual Holiday Folk Faire for ethnic food and dancing. It has been maybe 5 years since we made that event. On the way I saw a gas station for $3.05 and screeched in to fill my tank. I have no idea where that price in West Allis came from. Ten days ago, I filled up for $3.39 at Sam's Club. Did oil prices crash and I missed the news?

No just good timing. Look for prices to jump up on Monday.

Maybe, maybe not. I just looked at that same station. It is now $2.88! That is down 17 cents in one day.

Maybe a market share gas war is going on in that area? The station near me is $3.29.

I think 93 octane was just above $2.00 a gallon in November '20.

That's our goal. Let's get all octanes to those numbers. You know 87 and 89 were cheaper than that.

If only we had some untapped energy resources that could be opened up to help increase production

I just had a x-mas shopping fail. Tried getting one of the SF 49ers themed SJ Sharks warmups for my resident niners fan .... got outbid late.

Guess you'll just have to contact them directly.

$2.99 at Hermitage Thornton's on the way back from the game tonight.

 

[triggrman]

$2.94 at Antioch Sam's.

It was from their foundation ... just lost on Bonino and Benning ... didn't even bid on the 49ers team auto jersey (way out of my range).

I meant the players. Ha! Surely they have a spare lying around.

Happy Thanksgiving weekend! We had our big meal yesterday and it was grand. Good company (17 of us!), getting to know the almost 2 year old grand nephew a bit more, and renewing family ties.

Had planned to go to the game today and am sad it was postponed from the water main break. That said, it probably a good thing that the building was empty rather than there be 17,000 fans having to be herded out after it happened. Yet another thing to be thankful for. Hope they can get the mess cleaned up quickly, but from what I'm seeing I doubt seriously there will be a game tomorrow. They might surprise me, though.

Saturday's game postponed now too!! Must be a real mess!!

After watching my recording of the World Cup USA & England I went to the recording of the Preds game .... Oh well

Pictures I have seen look pretty soggy. At this point I'm not anticipating a home game Tuesday night, either.
Guy who sits in front of me texted me Friday morning with the news. Good thing he did. I'm not really good about watching the news so I'd have probably driven there for the 1PM game.

Just curious, since I have not been to a game yet this year, I hope to, do the boards have any advertising? I notice that there appears to be one Smile ad actually painted on the ice behind the nets and between the blue lines the ads don't change so wondered if for the CG ads have a blank space on the boards or if there are painted ads in the arena on the boards.
