OT: Puns n' COSes

[Datsyukian Deke]

I have some good news, and some bad news.

First of all, the good news: I am officially retiring from my job with the state of Wisconsin as of January 6, 2018.

The bad news: I am going to be moving to Mesa, Arizona - or its environs - before February of 2018.

Congrats, JW!

I've only been to Phoenix, Arizona, then all the way to Tacoma, followed by Philadelphia, Atlanta, & L.A.

Yes, they do have internet. Rumor is, though, that it's all Cox Cable....

So it'll be slow but you can still post here.

You going full time to Arizona or Arizona in the winter and Wisconsin in the summer? I couldn't handle Arizona summers.

An 11:30 AM game???? On a Saturday? Clearly I was not consulted. PF98 probably was, though...her late afternoon.

I love it! I hate that we have so few day games this year.

Can't wait to sip champagne and watch our brunch game on Saturday.

Pfffffft
You early risers and your daytimes. I suppose you like sunrises and dew on the ground, too.



At least it's an away game.

I wouldn't call 11:30 an early riser, however when I have to get to work before the sun comes up (since it doesn't get daylight until late in the morning now), that kinda forces my hand on how I look at my days.

Hahaha...... I do love it, when it's at home! Away day games.... I had to go look to see what you were talking about!

Sunsets are vastly overrated don't you know.

Dew on the grass , not a big fan ..

I did my time with sunrises. Happily I only have to see them occasionally now, and it's usually in conjunction with a flight somewhere.

11:30 is early ON A SATURDAY.

Sunsets are the prelude to greatness. The dark, the dark, when cool stuff happens.

They're better than Tennessee summers. I know a guy trying to get me to look into a potential job with his wife's company out in Tempe.

So apparently today marks ten years that I have been on hfboards... and my reward is being dubbed an "old timer" by the website

Am I the only one that believes this "transit plan" is just a money grab?

The Urban Density isn't even close to what it needs to be to even remotely discuss it, let alone justifying throwing 5.2 BN at it.

For numbers ... go here http://nmotion2015.com/the-plan/ and scroll down to Wade Sims' thorough response.

Some of the pieces may be overkill, but something needs to be done. There are days where it takes 20-30 minutes to go 1/4 a mile or less downtown.

This plan will not do anything to address that. Yes, it's a stupid let's be a big city mayor ( and so have to have a light rail) spend money . It doesn't even begin to address problems. Oh and yes let's have a huge underground area in downtown Nashville for flooding, drunks, urine, homelessand crime.

I read the PDF that was attached to stories....some consultant was paid a ton of taxpayer money for a ridiculous bandaid ...

That underground was one of the pieces I was referring to when I said overkill.

I hate coming downtown now, and if it weren't for preds games, probably wouldn't, the traffic is so bad.
But traffic is getting worse everywhere. We do need regional plans for transit, it just can't revolve around going and coming to downtown only.

The pedicabs and golf carts downtown make me insane coming / leaving games.

I've never understood what making 840 into a circle around the city wasn't done

I work downtown so I experience it at least 5 days a week. And yes I do ride a bus to work most of the time.

I was given the same honor. Ha! You were here when I joined...

Edit: Well, you were on A board before me, but not this one.

15 years for me.

Definitely. One day, a game day, it took me 30 minutes to go down 3rd ave from Sole Mio to the Pinnacle garage. 30 minutes to go 2 blocks!
