SBG wrote: I agree. I spent a day in the DC area and hit those two spots. Sobering to be sure. Not exactly apropos of Veterans Day, but I found it interesting that Arlington…
brianS wrote: for those of you who've never been to DC, among the Things to Do Before You Die should be a visit to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and to Arlington.


In Response to The Subject Is Jazz -- Cool,

brianS wrote: proud to serve, JeffA. I'm not in frightwig's league in terms of knowledge, but I do enjoy a bit o' jazz now and then.
Jeff A wrote: The jazz selections you find are wonderful, brian. While it is a type of music of which I feel quite ignorant, I do enjoy it a lot.

In Response to Buy your guns now!,

SBG wrote: Moss has now been deleted. This was not an easy decision -- I almost did this several months ago, but after consultation with others, I decided to break the politics off to another site…


In Response to Aww, crap,

DK wrote: Well, I agree with him to the extent that Harris and Buscher are viable options at third. If shortstop is improved (obviously, a big "if"), then they're more than adequate at third.
