True blue (and gold)

Final.

Boyle Co 21 CAL 14

Elizabethtown up 19-0 late in Q1. 

Larue County Up 6-3 early in the 2nd quarter. 

Who recommended “Down the Hill”? That one is soooo good!

Also, I’m really fascinated with “The Piketon Massacre.” Today’s episode really helped me answer some questions.

Listened to the first one and I liked it.  Thanks for the recommendation.

You (and others) might want to check out a new one called "The Piketon Massacre" which focuses on the Rhoden Family murders in 2016.  We had a thread on here somewhere and we discussed the case quite a bit. 

Just one episode so far. 

This one is really good! Thanks for recommending it.

My wife and I have a potentially uncomfortable situation coming up on August 8.  Our niece is getting married in NKY (limiting service to 60 people).  However, the reception is in Cincinnati for 200 people.  Both of us now have underlying conditions and are exactly 60 years old.  We wear masks.  As we understand it, the tables will seat 10, but not sure how far apart the tables will be.  The meal is a buffet, but workers from the hall will put the food on our plates for us (served 30 minutes after the bride and groom arrive).  Masks will be available for those who don't bring one (but have been told that nobody will be the "mask police").  There will be sanitizing stations around the hall.  Being "family", I assume people will want to talk to us. Our table will probably be "out of the way of traffic" (whatever that means).  I guess not near the bar or the buffet table.  Some of our concerns - 1) Will others be wearing masks?  2) How much traffic will occur in our "6 feet space"?  3) Brother of bride and his fiance are now in Myrtle Beach, SC (a current hot spot for COVID-19) - doubt that they will self quarantine prior to wedding.  Our plans are to try to distance ourselves as much as possible at both the wedding and the reception.  Eat and leave quickly before it gets too crazy.  I haven't been posting much in this thread because our position on the virus is very "in the middle"; in other words, we respect social liberties and freedoms of those who feel one way and we understand the concerns and fears of those who feel the other way about the virus, studies, masks, etc.

Not afraid of dying.  We are more concerned about long range effects (heart, lung, etc.) that some people have to live with who do survive after they get the virus.  We just don't want to catch this stupid thing with our underlying conditions and hope (maybe with much gullibility) that people will do the right thing around us.

Does anybody have any other thoughts if they were in our position?  My wife is the godmother of the bride.  A final consideration is not bringing shame and division to the entire family by blowing off the wedding and reception entirely.

I personally would explain to my niece why I cannot attend. Maybe they will have someone broadcast it on Facebook Live or something similar. The bottom line for me is the need to be safe. I’ve had to turn down two events this summer and in both situations those involved have completely understood.

This week's episodes of True Crime Garage focuses on the abduction of a Henderson County girl, Heather Teague.  Part 1 was released yesterday and Part 2 will be released today.  I've not heard of this story.

I was a student at WKU when she went missing. I don’t remember hearing of the story but that’s been a long time ago. 

I just started listening to “Radio Rental.” It consists of people telling stories about weird things they’ve experienced. First two episodes have been very enjoyable.

I take Lisinopril and this is the first I've heard of the coughing side effect.

I took it for a while and coughed miserably.  It took some trial and error, but we eventually found a replacement medication.

I've watched the first 3, but really couldn't keep up with episode that was all in French with subtitles. I enjoyed the first two episodes though, and will continue watching.

Yeah, I didn’t finish that one. Keep going on the others.

No doubt it was the husband, right?

Absolutely. He was obsessed with her and jealous of her son. 

Oh yes. Good stuff. Episode 2 was crazy.

We’ve honestly had a not bad run so far this year in terms of heat - at least I feel it’s been serviceable. A shame to get a heat wave but we’re due. 

I agree. We have been lucky. For weeks, it felt like Colorado weather.

Happiest of days to you, CWB!

Nice and cold bottle of Dasani.

Jeopardy! Even though I would get annihilated, it has always been my favorite.

 

I think I could compete and on America Says and Wheel of Fortune.

 

The Amazing Race I would totally get in to.

I am totally with you on Jeopardy. I would love it but I would surely lose.

Incident report was released today, it was mostly blank.

 

Of the little that was put on the report, under "Injuries" they listed "None," and they also indicated that there was no forced entry.

So she died of...no injuries?

Happy birthday, friend!

I moved all of the posts for the David McAtee shooting to a thread focusing on that.

Some people are protesting, a lot of people are not.

I would see the opposite. Some people are rioting/looting, a lot of people are protesting peacefully.

The preliminary results of George Floyd's autopsy suggest there were a number of factors that contributed to the 46-year-old's death. The report, conducted by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner, states there were "no physical findings that support a diagnosis of traumatic asphyxia or strangulation"; however, the combined effects of being pinned down by an officer as well as "his underlying health conditions and any potential intoxicants in his system likely contributed to his death."

 

I don’t think the above even matters, anyone else?

Nope. Especially since the charging document says that one of the officers checked Mr. Floyd’s pulse, reported that he couldn’t find one and then the other officer REMAINED ON HIS NECK for nearly two minutes.

Three.

Yesterday I saw the first video, which is a front view, and was horrified. Then this morning I saw a second video, taken from behind. What you don’t see in the first video are the two other cops that are physically on top of Floyd. They are hidden by the vehicle in the first video. Floyd was not going anywhere or doing anything even if the cop on his neck got up. There is NO WAY that a continuous knee to the neck was anything less than a power play with 100% disregard for human life.
