LOL!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Luv...home safe and sound and it is 6.5 degrees at my house.

Fed and comfy and perusing the FR headlines. I want to read last night’s Live Thread, but it will have to wait til the weekend.

[Kathy in Alaska]

It’s 6 and dropping, but only sunny days predicted through the weekend.

Stay warm!

[luvie]

Glad you got home safely! No slipping and sliding in that really, REALLY cold weather!

That thread will probably TAKE the whole weekend to read. It was quite informative, but I can’t read much there and keep up with what’s going on. LOL!

[Kathy in Alaska]

I heard that Cleveland caved....*sigh*

[luvie]

What did they “cave” on? I haven’t heard anything about Cleveland lately.

No more Cleveland Indian logo...maybe not as bad as I thought....

The Cleveland Indians will be removing “Chief Wahoo,” the bright red caricature of a Native American the team uses as a logo, from players’ caps and uniforms starting in 2019.

The divisive logo, which has been publicly protested as a racist and offensive image for decades, will remain on official merchandise available for purchase by fans.

“The team must maintain a retail presence so that MLB and the Indians can keep ownership of the trademark,” The Associated Press reports.

The Indians announced the change on Monday. The team name — which has also been criticized as offensive — will not be changing.

Greetings to all at the Canteen!

To all our military men and women, past and present,

[radu]

It certainly IS a beautiful full moon tonight! So bright, it's painful to look at it. I hoped to get a good shot or two tonight but the wind blows me around so much, the pix all came out blurry. :-(

But I did get shots during the beginning of the eclipse this morning before going to bed. The beginning was all we got to see here but it was still pretty.

[E.G.C.]

A very pleasant good Thursday morning to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military at home and abroad. Thanks for your service to our country.

[luvie]

Howdy, radu! That is an awesome shot! I woke up and started to try to watch it, but the kitties were outside and I wasn’t ready to deal with them. LOL!

I did go out earlier to see it high in the sky and it was so BIG and bright! Gorgeous!

Sorry you’re still having high winds. Ugh!
