Be nice to be able to watch the baseball games, thanks @AT&T. Pretty sure you’ll still want to get paid.

I blame the abhorrent “fan”behavior at Bethpage on the deranged racist You People elected President. His hatred of everything decent has legitimized cruelty & fostered an attack culture. The Ryder Cup, World Cup, Olympics must be removed from the U.S. as long as this bigoted pig is in charge.

200 Large for a barely driven Grand National. As I’ve stated, don’t think any owner ever drove any GN.

Anyone with a spare 600K lying around should snap this up. A wildly appreciating investment. Plus you get to drive the Hammer of God.

So somebody grew a set. More likely You People who cancelled whatever that streaming service is succeeded. I never had whatever service that is & have never watched Kimmel, so I was ahead of the curve. Well done anyway You People.

For better or worse, Hurricane Hugo made my professional career. If you live here, you’ve probably seen the aerial film of the tilted Ben Sawyer Bridge, the boats piled up at IOP Marina, & on & on. Well, that was me & an ETV videographer. Out of that, I got to train at the National Hurricane Center,

Today in 1944, time ran out for John Frost & his brave troopers of the British 1st Airborne. Jumping into Holland & tasked with taking & holding the bridge over the Lower Rhine at Arnhem for 2 days, Frost’s 750 men held off German armored columns for 4 days.

Well damn Oscar, if you don’t wanna play, just say so. Did he lose the World Championship right there?

Richard Chinnis @rchinnis.bsky.social · 20/09/2025

One team was ready to play. And the other was Clemson. Does this team have the stomach for a good fight? Seen no evidence of it.

Richard Chinnis @rchinnis.bsky.social · 20/09/2025

Let’s go Tigers, you need to lay about 70 on these guys, start changing the narrative.

Fire trucks, cops & and ambulance screaming up to Drayton Hall School right now.

Deer are ravenously consuming my shade garden Hostas. Evidently they don’t care about the Fatsias. Have at it Bambi, just leave my peas alone.

Vols so deserved that miss. Just kick the damn ball, way overthinking.

Damn this O line stinks. Can’t get 2 feet of push.

Why defer? Starting out in a hole once again.

Who exactly is the demographic ESPN is attempting to appeal to with Pat McAfee? 13-14 year old adolescent boys sniggering because he says “bad words?” GameDay is unwatchable as long as he sits at the table.

Purple, white & orange? Maybe one color too many.

Deion’s team stinks, at least his kid & Travis Hunter were entertaining to watch. So much for coaching genius.

Ripping out last of the pole beans. Had a poor season, only reason I can think of is excessive rain in July & August. Usually harvest a year’s supply to stock the freezers, but probably only put up 15 or pints. Still have producing Sea Island red peas which I actually prefer over beans.

Mixing up some potent sugar water for the hummingbirds. We have 6-8 different hummingbirds at our feeder & right now they are in hyperphagia; way overeating tanking up to migrate to South & Central America. They’ll essentially double their minuscule body weight in this feeding frenzy. No red stuff.

As always on this day, thinking about Rick Rescorla. No braver man has ever walked this earth.

My initial & continuing reaction to the Charlie Kirk murder is “who is Charlie Kirk?”

Richard Chinnis @rchinnis.bsky.social · 08/09/2025

Had better days. After still yet another “procedure” on my lower spine, anesthesia always makes me puke & destroys my appetite. Lower back is so sore I can’t lay down or sit, so sorta squirm around on my side. Pain relief doesn’t happen for several days so I have all the pain & none of the benefits.

Let’s not do this again guys, K

Richard Chinnis @rchinnis.bsky.social · 06/09/2025

Never bought into starting a running back who has never played running back. To me, Klubnik was always an “adequate” QB, not far removed from JAG. And the O line still stinks. Major problems, like giving up 3rd & 8 runs for first down, still persist. This highly paid coaching staff fixed nothing.

Sometimes you get what you deserve. What a fiasco.

Richard Chinnis @rchinnis.bsky.social · 06/09/2025

Pathetic, can’t even snap the ball. Going on 4 quarters with zero points.

Richard Chinnis @rchinnis.bsky.social · 06/09/2025

That’s just stupid. What are we even doing here?

West Ashley HS & West Point product Brett Toth in the O line for the Eagles.

Had a doctor’s appointment in Mt. Pleasant this morning. Port truck traffic, even after rush hour, was so bad 526 was stopped at the I-26 interchange. Took me 110 minutes to get to Bowman Road. Building a port with no rail access is still monumentally stupid.

Don’t they teach comparatives in school anymore? “It’s more simple.” No, it’s simpler. Some ad agency charged a client to write an incorrect TV ad.

Tigers spent too much time reading their lofty press clippings, getting badly outplayed in all phases.

Richard Chinnis @rchinnis.bsky.social · 31/08/2025

Awful, bad tackling, big play already made. Haven’t fixed those problems.

Richard Chinnis @rchinnis.bsky.social · 31/08/2025

It just means more……. Well done ‘Noles. That was a dominating ass kicking.

Major League garage clean up/reorganization. Gifted a big 12 drawer rolling tool cabinet & hopefully most everything will fit in the cushioned drawers. Problem is all my tools are covered in garage dust & require a Simple Green cleaning & then wiping down with an WD-40 soaked rag. Very slow going.

I’ve boycotted GameDay since Pat McAfee crawled onto the set. That won’t change until he screams something so vile that ESPN fires him.

Richard Chinnis @rchinnis.bsky.social · 30/08/2025

Game Day! Go Tigers! Is it raining Upstate? Can’t wait to roll a drenched Brian Kelly.

At least they can sneak up on the hot dog wrappers squared away in that camo.

The Saturday appetizer was delicious but left me unsatiated. And now I gotta wait 5 more days for the main course? I’d like to speak with management.

One of my favorite shrubs plus birds, bees & butterflies love it; Beauty Berry “Callicarpi americana.” A no maintenance plant, heat tolerant, little fertilization or irrigation required. Plant it & forget about it. Also nontoxic to humans or animals. Needs full sun, does well in nutrient poor soil.

Good lord Hannah Storm is annoying. Spot the damn ball!
