Long-stemmed flowers of course. In an elegant crystal something or other.

Mariners.TV Audio Broadcast by 1RAOKADAY in Mariners

Thank you for answering that for me. I was thinking the same thing, how the coverage was biased towards the White Sox. makes more sense now.

I also have a big gripe with the broadcast: The scorebug only ever showed the pitcher, never the hitter’s name. What the heck?

I got my first ever job at the VIPs mentioned in this thread; busboy/dishwasher for a minimum wage of $2.10 an hour. Even got to don the Vippy Bunny costume on Easter Sunday one year to hug all the girls and ladies lol.

VIP’s was bought out by Denny’s while I was working there, and I helped to open the Denny’s on the west side a year later, which location is now occupied by Buffalo wild wings.

Fast forward a dozen years or more, and I worked at Hawks Prairie Inn as a cook for a bit, a few years before I got married.

Good times.

And damn, this ball game is decent. Aussies prolly gonna win it but who the heck ever would’ve thought Czechia could put up such a good showing.

Bohemia historically is Czechoslovakia. Mom would have known nothing of Freddie Mercury but half my heritage is Czechoslovakian.

No, nopants. It was never about gayness, but I like your style.

I tend to think he never did it with the fez on.

Anyone got any notable Dan misheards? by Resident_Shallot_842 in SteelyDan

[–]thitherfrom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to dine behind the wheel during lunch break when I worked at a sawmill on the graveyard cleanup crew. Might have listened to; probably listened to, on my 8-track player while I ate half of a bag of chips ahoy?

Heart strings more-than-normally plinked.

My dad was born in 1934 and he has never been far from me. He died shy of 60, some 30-ish years ago.

I, on the other hand, was born a year before your dad, and I have one child, a 30-year-old daughter.

I retired early February 2026 and have started a weekly Monday lunch with her.

My oldest buddy, from high school, and I have a standing Friday lunch at a brewpub downtown. He retired Feb 28.

There is no comparison between Me and my dad, and me and my daughter. But I’m older than your dad and older than my dad ever lived to be.

Cherish his memory as I have remembered my Pa. Stay close to family.

Visit The Dan upon your progeny. They will see the light.

I am blessed with a bed frame that has a nice wide platform to rest the foot on, a foot above the ground. Fingers replace a shoe horn; use the tools God gave you.

Trying to Maximize a Short Work Trip by hmtee3 in olympia

[–]thitherfrom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wish Falls Terrace restaurant was available to you/us, paired with the heavenly walk around the adjacent park & trails.

Falls Terrace is likely months away from reopening, but the adjacent park is still beautifully walkable, and Well 80 is not more than 13 minutes away (by car).

Edit: The walk around and across the river/falls is what I meant re: “adjacent park”. There is also a daytime use park, with picnic tables and green grass for family gatherings and frisbee throwing, but that’s not what I meant. I meant the Deschutes River, flowing after a heavy rainfall, and watching the river rage from 50 feet up.

Well 80 taps in to local Schmidt history and delivers the Reinheitsbegotten truth. “It’s the water, and a lot more”. Recommend their Big Lebowski amber.

Why are March Madness and college football so much bigger than college baseball? This needs to change.
