Sorry, I meant Senator, not gov.

[SoothingDave]

He was senator only for a couple years, appointed by Dem governor after Heinz died in helicopter crash. He won a special election, served the rest of that term then lost to Santorum.

Thanks for that info - but do you agree with me that you don’t just suddenly become gay in your 90’s? lol

[SoothingDave]

I absolutely agree.

Sounds like DaVinci who has a very human like whine ! It’s so funny Gord loves the pups but DaVinci more so than Jules. DaVinci doesn’t care much either way but Jules loves him
And will lick his head nonstop if Gord will let him. He’s a tasty boy bc he has food residue on him!

Gotta be.

We are going to our first game 7! I’ll have to catch up on Turn later, when hockey and basketball are over and before college football starts up again.

[SoothingDave]

Congrats! Game 7 can be rough.

We’ve never had one but I like our coach’s record in them(4-1) vs theirs(1-7).

States like NY that never go GOP should not have undue influence. ....The idea that there are equal delegates that come from minority majority districts that vote 99% Democrat is ridiculous.

I've been saying that for years, along with the GOP continuing to go along with letting dark blue states have the first shot at establishing the GOP front-runners. States that have the highest percentage vote GOP in the presidential race and that have the highest ratio of GOP to Dem representation in congress should go earliest in selecting delegates and shaping the race for the GOP nominee in the next election. There is no reason at all that the GOP has to follow along with the traditional order of primaries and caucuses.

That is funny! Be sure to get plenty of pics of Jules utilizing the tasty boy as a source of leftovers-you will be able to amuse or embarrass Gord when he is older-every parent and grandparent gets hilarious visual evidence of the family as kids to show everyone later-I think it is cute...
