heh ... a two-out threat with those hits.

Are there any clear channel stations in Chicago?

It's not just yellow. The color is Interchange Yellow. It kinda changes hues in different light. Sometimes it looks greenish yellow, sometimes yellow yellow, sometimes golden. It's quite nice. As am I.

What do you do?

Maybe you should just go with it, whether or not you understand it. And the lips on your avatar are really freaky. I always think people look like their avatars. So I'm picturing you in real life wearing lipstick. But lipstick seems to be a theme around here.

It's excellent, imo. It's a history of Mpls, basically.

Actually, it's not that early for twins. I think on average twins are born at 35 weeks; some make it longer, some don't. I had a friend who had twins a year ago and she made it 36 weeks. Her babies spent a few extra days in the hospital but were otherwise healthy.

Okay and now I'm on the L where ppl are even more rude, someone smells very unwashed and the Twins have lost. Great end to the work day

And, off topic, can I just say ... wtf is the matter with youth these days? An old lady gets on a crowded commuter train and you have ask them to move their crap off a seat so you can sit down?! Okay, I'm less annoyed now

Just tuning in. Any hope?

Thank you! Exactly! It's not the overt cases, it's other times when it may be more subtle or even subconscious. My best friend is black. While I don't know all her stories, I know enough of them and have witnessed a few. It's subtle ... being ignored unintentionally, or intentionally, the hesitation, double takes, people walking around us ... but it's there. We all have experienced 'that' feeling when you walk into a room and the atmosphere changes, not knowing what or why. Imagine that being the case a majority of the time. And most of the time people do not even realize they are treating anyone any differently. I can't even say with certainty I have never done this. I ride the buses in Chicago, the ones heading to the south side that are predominantly black. Have I ever made the choice to stand toward the front rather than take an empty seat in the back for some subconscious reason? I notice others doing this all the time. Anyway, while the 'race issue' is not the reason to try or not try Zimmerman for killing Martin, the discussion of 'Would this have happened if ...' is very valid.

Aww, man ... I'm glad Snepp was right, but damn, I missed a good inning.

Well, since Snepp has assured us of a win tonight I'm going to bed. G'night all!

I think you mean neighbourhood

bah!

Chief and Glorm - are you guys originally from MN? Just wondering how you came to be Twins fans if not.

You forgot 'eh?' at the end of that

That's what makes us the favourites around here!

True. But Glorm is the type of guy who'd be honoured to help.

Sure you can. Just add extra u's here and there

And showing a wee bit o' flab, too. Forever.

ugh.

Wish I were back in Las Vegas. Life in Chicago is just so ordinary.

Are they both boys? Guess I wasn't keeping up with the pregnancy.

Thanks ... his name is Buster.
