110.06/ Cowher era #Steelers fans know that 51 is James Farrior's number and he was, as Kozora himself notes, one of the best free-agents to come to the team. 51 carries a great legacy; hope it brings good mazal to Myles Jack & us. steelersdepot.com/2022/07/kevin-…
110.07/ At first, I thought the baked-beans hash-browns were a prank, like the gefilte-fish hot dogs. But, evidently not. If they are served simultaneously, it could open a portal to She'ol, so be careful.
110.08a/ I learned so much from this video about the climate actions in the IRA (h.t. @What46HasDone). This is what Biden can deliver (b/c he was a senator as long as humanly possible who then served as president of the Senate for 8 years as VP)
110.08b/ Biden-Harris has had so many successes in just a 18 months it's mind-blowing. Anti-lynching, Infrastructure, climate change, etc. If the Red part of the horseshoe wasn't as determined as the GOP to destroy the Democrats, they'd be happy. But they are, so they aren't.
110.13/ Why call it an arranged marriage when you can call it a "shadchan wedding"?
110.14/ Any frum Jew who is upset about the *concept* of loan cancellation in the week of parshat Re'eh & in a honest-to-goodness SHEMITTA YEAR needs to go back to cheider.
Shemitta isn't there so you can bully farmers; the debt zapping is a cornerstone of halakhic ethics.
110.15/ Excellent context for that map going around
110.22/ It's a busy time; my son will be going off to Israel on Monday and it's an emotional erev-Shabbos. Like dropping him off in college but on a different order of magnitude.

227.03/ The first time through the cruel & stupid Trump (ym'sh) circus I read the news with trepidation because I didn't know what terrible thing he'd do next. This time, I read the news with contempt & anger because the MSM helped elect him and wants him to succeed.
225.02/ Finally dropped off our ballots this morning & took a selfie. A fun thing then happened: a young dad carrying a baby arrived after us & he said that it was his first time voting after becoming a citizen! So I insisted on taking a photo of him (with his camera). USA! USA!
225.03/ Yes, I'm the one who waited all Shabbas for the poll, taught my kids how polls work (social science PhD, baby) & what I hoped would happen (GOP leading by only 5). And they got to see my stunned elation in real time when I read the news.
224.02/ There's sticker shock and then there's "standing on the bathroom scale after 3 three-day yuntifs and 2 major fasts over 3 weeks" sticker shock.
224.03/ BTW, Trump (ym"sh) abd the MAGA-GOP going completely mask-off with racist nativism was very much on my BINGO card.
223.02/ Downside of "October is the Best Sports Month" - mixed blessing really - is that at 8pm tonight 3 of my teams will be on at the same time. NYMets facing elimination, #LIGHTITUPNYL in the last game of the finals, and the Steelers on SNF.

222.03/ Another October sports is awesome moment: Mets playoffs, Yankees playoffs, Monday night football plus the #NYR at home. Pretty much all at the same time.
