Doc told me in 2018 that I was ready for knee replacement. I did gel shots and PT for 8 years, finally had surgery last month. I suggest you not rush into surgery. Recovery is tougher than you think.

I loved Morton & Hayes. 1991, a Christopher Guest show. I've never met anyone else who ever saw it.

Musk's censorship algorithm on Twitter reduced our audience by about 95% since he bought it. So we moved over to blue sky. Help us build another great following right here where the skies are clear and the water is fine ;-) Please do Follow Retweet & repeat

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

As a Tigers fan, I understand. We still have lingering symptoms of trauma from Game #163 vs. the Twins in 2009.

Crypo reminds me of the 1990s McDonald's/Beanie Baby craze. They were worth a lot of money because people thought they were a lot of money...until they weren't. But at least with Beanie Babies you ended up with a toy.
