Agreed, 4 winds. Anytime a thread starter feels the need to post multiple times in the first 5 posts to keep a thread going, it's a fail.

One of the Boston Celtics’ all-time greats, swingman John Havlicek would have been 80 today. He died last April at 79.

5 things on ‘Hondo’:

1) He played 16 seasons with the Celtics during which they won 8 NBA titles Only Bill Russell and Sam Jones had more championship rings.

2) He played college ball at Ohio State with teammates Jerry Lucas, Larry Siegfried and Bobby Knight. The Buckeyes won the NCAA title in 1960.

3) He was drafted as a wide receiver by the NFL Cleveland Browns, and as a shooting guard by the Celtics.

4) His clutch steal in the closing seconds of the 1965 Eastern Conference championship series’ 7th game secured the title for the Celts and inspired one of the great radio calls in the sport’s history, by Johnny Most: ‘Havlicek stole the ball!’

5) He is the Celtics’ all-time leader in points, scoring a career total of 26,395. He played in a total of 1,270 games.

Jimi Hendrix arrived on the London scene like a ton of bricks in 1966, smashing every British blues guitarist to pieces the instant they saw him play. As vocalist Terry Reid tells it, when Hendrix played his first showcase at the Bag O’Nails, arranged by Animals’ bassist Chas Chandler, “there were guitar players weeping. They had to mop the floor up. He was piling it on, solo after solo. I could see everyone’s fillings falling out. When he finished, it was silence. Nobody knew what to do. Everybody was dumbstruck, completely in shock.”

He only exaggerates a little, by all accounts, and when Reid says “everybody,” he means everybody: Keith Richards, Mick Jagger, Brian Jones, Jeff Beck, Paul McCartney, The Who, Eric Burdon, John Mayall, and maybe Jimmy Page, though he denies it. Mayall recalls, “the buzz was out before Jimi had even been seen here, so people were anticipating his performance, and he more than lived up to what we were expecting.” In fact, even before this legendary event sent nearly every star classic rock guitarist back to the woodshed, Jimi had arrived

I'm friends of the family, they just got the call from the Civil Rights Museum in Memphis last week, the old Lorraine Motel, and Robert's works will be on exhibition there in 2021. Very exciting news for all especially his widow.

On this date in 1963 Waterbury native (my dad played local ball with him) Jimmy Piersall celebrates hitting the 100th homer of his career by circling the bases backwards at the Polo Grounds in NY. Phillies catcher Bob Oldis and next batter Tim Harkness look on in amazement.  Jimmy got the idea for the stunt after being disappointed by the lack of attention Duke Snider's 400th received.

Casey handed him his walking papers two days later. Stengel however did pay Piersall a major compliment at one point in his career, saying “I thought Joe DiMaggio was the greatest defensive outfielder I ever saw,” said Stengel, who managed DiMaggio from 1949-51. “But I have to rate Piersall better.”

>Combined with the fact that 134 million babies were born in 2023, the world population increased by 73 million people in 2023 (134 million births - 61 million deaths = 73 million more people; a net increase of 0.91%

Brown Trout Spring Bonanza March 1 through April 7, 2024​


LEES FERRY, Ariz. – Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, in partnership with Glen Canyon Conservancy, is pleased to announce we are extending the Brown Trout Incentivized Harvest program. The program is expected to continue at least through this calendar year. The Brown Trout Incentivized Harvest program was begun so anglers could help manage and reduce the number of invasive brown trout in this stretch of the Colorado River.

The Brown Trout Spring Bonanza is part of the Incentivized Harvest. To participate in the Bonanza program, anglers must have a valid Arizona fishing license. All brown trout must be harvested from the Colorado River between Glen Canyon Dam and the Paria River. Rewards will range from $15 to $50 per fish. There will be prizes for the largest fish and a raffle, amounts ranging from $250 to $1,000. There is no limit on the number of brown trout that can be harvested and turned in for the reward and bonuses during this event. Rewards and bonuses will be paid out by the Glen Canyon Conservancy, which is administering the program for the park. 

If you look closely, there is a cable attached.  He is just making initial cuts. Will probably pull it down after removing the ladder. But first glance, that is funny.  And it still looks dangerous.
