Pete Rose was given a permanent ban, so MLB will never induct him, even posthumously. The better question is what happens when the NEXT MLB player bets on baseball and what MLB does about it, given that sports betting is now legal and all the professional leagues are intimately involved now (including MLB).

Nice cement driveway. I like.

It's quite sad, Asheville and W. NC is on my itenerary for my vacation next year...one of my old high school buddies from the Florida Keys has a vacation home in Banner Elk, he's invited me to come visit...they got through the storm relatively unscathed, but so much damage and destruction around them. Beautiful part of the country I want to explore...

Moved the Mustang and Cadillac outside yesterday. Had an electrical issue yesterday in the garage that spooked me. Better safe than sorry. Electrician coming tomorrow.

We September born folk are always excellent people. Hope yours was a good one. Jimmy Carter is the first American president to turn 100.....Happy Birthday to him as well.

Very interesting read. I have always felt that immigrants helped this country, and the facts are proving that out. Most immigrants start their own business than take existing jobs. This is some interesting facts that help explain how we continue to grow our GNP. Are immigrants taking jobs from 'native' U.S. workers? Here's what economists say (msn.com)

The knee-jerk understanding seems to be that these events affect the coastal areas where they make landfall. Here, we see that that's far from true. I can't believe how badly interior areas of Southeastern states have been damaged. When I lived in Atlanta, I remember how big weather events would work their way inland and drop a lot of rain onto that red Georgia clay that just laid there like a layer that wasn't absorbed, but my friends, coworkers, and I were not impacted, while select areas were. This has gone way deeper inland. I'm holding good thoughts after seeing and listening to so many distraught people describe how much they've lost.

More from the air... 0:49 you can see flood waters were powerful enough to push full size trucks up over the railroad tracks....homes off of foundations....interview with local residents especially powerful. Thanks everyone for letting me post this stuff. I am still stunned and grieving.

Absolutely. Of course, Springfield is 45 minutes from where I live. Lots of crazy stuff here. NAZI's openly marching in both Springfield and Grove City, the suburb I am closest to. Wild how this brand new F150 catches fire and burns so quickly. Even odder how the fire seems to melt/vaporize the aluminum cab. Oddly enough, we have a harpsichord in our music department, it sounds awesome. Different Harpsichord, but every type of music is keeping me sane.
