I love being retired. Hardest choice I make all day is which beer to enjoy

Why are "raze" and "raise" pronounced the same?

I would think it could cause a serious snafu at construction sites, if the workers mis-heard:

"All right, fellows, let's get busy and raise this building!"

or

"All right fellows, let's raze this building!"

Default 90s computer games

if any of you played pc games in the 90s, here is a site that has some of the more popular ones. List of games in the tool bar on the right side of the screen. Click the game and then half way down you'll see "run in browser". Only bad thing is if you close the browser accidentally you have to start all over again haha.

https://www.freegameempire.com/

Railroad Tycoon Deluxe and Civilization were two of my favorites. Addicting!

I’ve spent a not insignificant amount of life playing Civilization. This is awesome

Two of my favorites. My favorite pinky ring that I have had since the early 90s. Also my favorite Wade Boggs baseball bat. I got this from the estate of famous drag racer Tom "The Mongoose" McEwen.

I had dinner with Miss America Heather French back in 2000 when she had the title.
She didn't eat her peas.

Love these pics. I mainly had cats growing up but we also had a couple dogs.
Regardless, I love animals and always will.

Default Named What?

Utah Jazz is the dumbest sports nickname.
Los Angeles Lakers is close.
MiLB has the best names.

Commanders and Guardians aren’t great names.
The Savannah Bananas and Montgomery Biscuits are good names.

Cal McLish had a really long given name.
Ed Ott didn’t.

1960’s and 70’s hockey cards have players with great names.
Jocelyn Guevermont for example…
