Life in Sector 7 G.

I went to work today and had to park so far away that I would have been better off leaving the car at home and walking to work.

Gas prices going up today, but they say prices will drop tomorrow.
So, if you can hold off for one more day, things will go your way.

Ben Mulroney has a radio show that I listen to while working. Ben Mulroney has is a media personality that has been on many shows before.

He is also the son of the former and late Brian Mulroney, and he does not hide the fact about his privilege, puts it right out on front street.

He had a good and valid rant about millennials and them getting offended by a thumbs up. They take it like you gave them the finger.
Ben says, Nope! Not giving you the finger. If I wanted to give you the finger, I would not hesitate to give you the finger! We are built like that.

I am paraphrasing of course.

Ya'll know how I feel about my beloved Toronto Blue Jays right?
Unconditional love but, honest to fuck, the way things are going I don't know.
It kinda looks like this...

Everyone and their brother is going on the injured list. At least they had the good sense to send Little down and FINALLY doing something about Hoffman but it's probably not enough with everyone out

I grew up watching the Braves a lot only because when I was a kid and we came out of the hollers to town where people had cable that's what was on most thanks to TBS. They're not doing so bad so far. It really is entertaining to watch the missus "coach" the TV at the top of her lungs when the Jays are on.

@Rigjockey Update......the missus wants Okamoto sent down too. I told her get them on the horn see if they will get her one of those wall phones like they have in the dugout so she can pass down orders directly.

I got two new Jays hats via Amazon. I always wanted a solid blue hat. Most have a white front panel or a baby blue visor; I hate baby blue! Also hate the white front panel that even though it reminds me of the '70's and 80's when going to a game was affordable.

So, one solid blue hat and one black with a black and white logo.

Next, I want to get one that is a stretch hat. Looks like a fitted hat but it is not.
Also want to get a fitted hat but not sure how big my head is... insert your own jokes.

The easy way to find out my hat size is put on my hard hat that I have in my trunk, and it will tell me the size it's marked on the adjustable band.

Anyway, I am all set for summer and ready give a hard time to anyone wearing a Yankees hat in Toronto.

The funny thing is, when you ask these Yankee hat wearers why they are wearing Yankees and not Toronto, the reply is always the same "I don't really watch baseball, I just like the hat".

I think more people in the world wear a Yankees hat more than any other hat in the world. (I am positive the last line is not grammatically correct but too tired to figure out why).

What's worse than a Yankees hat is Habs or Red Wings. Like Jesus said, forgive them father they know not what they do.

With a Yankees hat the scenario you described is pretty common and you've got a little room to forgive some ignorance. If someone has made the effort to buy a hideous Red Wings or toilet seat hat, the malice cannot be denied at that point.

I started listening to Podcasts today at work. I usually start out listening to talk radio and then move to music, but the work is too slow for Rock n' roll, grunge or Alternative.
I was listening to a true crime series. One of the stories was one I knew about Bruce McArthur. A gay serial killer from Toronto. A landscaper that actually buried some of the bodies in big planters that he used on customers properties. Yes, he left dead bodies on other people properties.

I remember this story as it broke in Toronto. If you ever see a Toronto police cube van with the numbers P008, that's the one that transported the potters that had human remains in them.

I'm going to start listening to more podcasts maybe Joe Rogan.

Any recommendations?

On the way home I stopped to pick up some burger buns. I saw some Nanaimo bars, so I picked those as an impulse buy.
I have no idea what is in a Nanaimo bar, I do know they are a no bake treat and they are damned good!

I hear they are super easy to make being no bake and all, I also found them to be super easy to buy being as that was also a no bake option.

I found a podcast that I really like. It's the ongoing history of new music with Allen Cross.
Back in the day we would have to wait for his show to come on the radio.
Now we can just stream it on most streaming sites.

I highly recommend this one if you are a music fan.

The show I was listening to today on the ongoing history of new music with Allen Cross Was about the creation of the MP3. The problems they had.
The used this song By Susan Vega, Tom's Diner. Also, Toms Diner is a real place, and it also doubled as Monk's Diner on the show Seinfeld.

I remember listening to Allan Cross on 102.1 The Edge back when I lived in Ontario. Good to hear he’s still at it. I’ll have to tune into the podcast.

Ya he's pretty awesome! We used to listen to him on The Edge 102.1 on our night shift.
He is still doing the ongoing history of new music and also has another show, Crime and Mayhem in the music industry. It's pretty good too.

 

[Rigjockey]

Anyone looking for the ongoing history of new music or Crime and mayhem...

I've been spelling his name wrong the whole time, It's Alan Cross.
