OK, funny story about my plow guy, tonight.

So I got 5" of snow today (from 3:00 AM thru 3:00PM) on top of the 5" of new snow this weekend, Friday/Saturday.

My 2007 VW Passatt could go down my driveway - but not up. The studs are spent and the trip up is a crapshoot.

All I needed were smokes. Texted him and he got my message. No need to leave the log home, cuz my plow guy delivered 2 packs of smokes for me!.

This is why I love living in Maine.

Good luck, Mookie!

This lifelong Red Sox fan says thanks for the memories! I remember 5 years ago thinking what an awesome bunch of atheletes we had on tap. You produced. You made great moments and memories.

And I don't blame you one damn bit for maximizing your profit potential...because that is how the game is being played.

Congrats LA....you have one of the great players in this game, coming in at peak. Enjoy! A real 2 way player. JBJ gets a lot attention on his D, but Mookie is in his class. And Mookie just makes offense with his bat, intellect, and feet.

A class guy, totally normal in his verbal communications with New England media - he measured his words and let his field game speak for itself.

It was a good run, I wish you could have finished in Boston, but can't blame you a bit for taking whatever the market bears.

Of course, eventually, I won't be attending cuz they will pass the salaries on to us, the consumer, abd it will be way too expensive to attend.

College Hockey - The Beanpot tourney is interesting.

Boston U vs. Northeastern

BU up by 2 after 1
NE scores 4 in the second period (underway).

The skating and strategy is pro-level...see Charlie Mcavoy playing super defense with the Bruins....at 22!

So which candidate is our best choice to put his/her Presidency on the line and

bring Trump and His Organized Crime Party to justice?

That's really who I really want to get behind.

Mitt Romney - the only Republican in the Senate with a backbone.

Good for you Mitt. I voted for Obama when you ran in 2012, but I will give you a lot of credit for your vote. You could have taken the cowardly exit like so many other Republican Senators, but you chose to cast a righteous vote and will be the lightening rod for incredible Republican hate. A profile in courage.

I wonder what William Weld has to think about Romney's principled stand in the Senate??

He and Mitt shared Republican governorship in MA. I'd think they are pretty much on the same page with regards to the Cult of Trump.

Pretty sure that Republicans had their best moment ever tonight.

When they sober up tomorrow, reality returns.

With respect to Gov. Widmar, Madame Speaker gave the proper response to the Trump SOTU.

Nobody will remember the accumulated shit- blizzard that Trump spewed tonight. Everybody will understand Pelosi's response.

Mookey Betts and David Price to LA!

Gonna miss one of the most gifted baseball atheletes that I got to watch thru the minors to his All-Star status that he deserves. Thanks for the memories Mookie!

David Price? Eh, not so much, but he did come thru in 2019.

What's the over/under on Trump blatant lies tonight during the SOTU?

I'm thinking the floor is 50.
