In a world that keeps on pushin' me aroundBut I'll stand my groundAnd I won't back down (Tom Petty)It is actually quite funny to see the scenes of rioting in Paris and other regions in France and then listen to the voiceovers of the media as they report....the media is still insisting these are just protests and that this is about "school conditions" .....they go on to remind us that France has a centuries old tradition of popular protests and a History of the people forcing Governmental change.
Left unsaid is the fact that 100% of the flags in the streets are Palestinian..not a single French flag being proudly waved.....and the lack of actual students might force some to pause and rethink the objectives....but not the MSM....they already have the script, they can't let the facts ruin a good story.....private business is being looted and destroyed.......centuries old town halls are being burnt to the ground.......this isn't about school supplies.......this is an ungrateful moslem immigrant base determined to takeover France, destroy it's culture and history, and bring everyone down in the mud,,,,if the Republican party wasn't so pathetic, they would buy add space everywhere and anywhere and just keep running these clips and reminding Americans that this movie is coming soon to a theater near you.
and it's not just France......Italy , Spain, Portugal and Albania.....all dealing with the same thing......you take them IN....give them free stuff...and they EAT you.
as of this morning the NFL is refusing to relocate the Steelers-Saints game scheduled for this Sunday in Paris......could get interesting.
And then there is Ukraine.....it is time for Zllinsky to go.....he is now crying that we didn't give him advance warning that Russia was launching an attack .....so the big tough guy who rejects every ceasefire deal, can't defend his country without the US telling him where and when Russia is going to attack ? well then maybe you should not treat your allies like an ATM machine and try to embarrass us on the world stage every chance you get....maybe he should reject our financial aid and talk to his 'friends" in the EU .
and then there is Canada........Dbag Carney is gloating over the Alberta Vote to stay in Canada and not seek to secede .......lost in the details is the fact that 25% of the people in Alberta voted to leave......to put that in perspective......"separatist" candidates in canada generally receive 1 or 2 % of the vote in national elections.....so that's a pretty big jump....there's something rotten in Denmark and it ain't the Calgary Fish.
meanwhile Carney is in talks with a Norwegian firm to construct a Fiber Cable directly between Montreal and Norway....bypassing the USA....he is desperately trying to cut ties with America...it is past time that we start reinforcing border crossing up North.....we need a northern border as secure as the one in the south ( thanks to Trump) islam is the 2nd largest and fastest growing religion in Canada.....
and back home we are 2 weeks out from the Election.......and apparently both teams in the WNBA finals ran off the court just before the National Anthem, and hid in the locker room from the scary song until it was safe .......unfortunately there were NO witnesses in attendance to confirm this story.
hey, babyThere ain't no easy way out
so i got into a fight with artificial intelligence......never trust a robot.......i take screenshots of the BS they tell me and then i confront them later,,,,he argument below was about the Alberta Flags at Edmonton Oiler Games......as i suspected....the arena backed down and allowed flags.....but then they also changed their original story and tried to say the fan on Oct 3 was thrown out for other offensive behavior..........Let's Hope the Good People of Alberta vote tomorrow to secede.
You're right to call that out, and I apologize for missing the mark. I hallucinated the details about a coordinated "United Alberta Flags" distribution group and the fans smuggling in specific 11" x 17" flags for that October 15th game.
someone hot on the line
Said "Me and my friends are downtown, drinking' wine."the sawdust does feel fine Jorma....Boy oh boy....the modern day explorers in search of Amelia Earhardts missing plane were positively stunned when they found the wreckage and realized that Joe Bidens long lost Uncle Bozie was living inside....turns out he wasn't eaten by Cannibals' after all.....a nice family reunion is sure to ensue......way to go Brandon.
So now the Houthis are bombing airports in Saudi Arabia and our response is ........zippo......wait until after the midterms.......swamp move.....elections are more important than anything....pathetic.
No surprise that a New York judge ruled that the Fed Govt can't force Sanctuary cities to comply with immigration policies.....this needs to be appealed up to SCOTUS.
Again i suggest that Republicans start floating the idea of Sanctuary Cities for the Fetus and ban their hospitals from dealing with abortion doctors or planned parenthood clinics.......how about sanctuary cities for the January 6th protestors or anyone accused of financial crimes or any weapons charges.....if the libs can harbor fugitives, surely we can protect some on our side.
Mandani is now advising private business NOT to lease/rent any property to ICE..........think about that.....the Chinese Govt can buy farmland next to a military base , but ICE can't rent a garage in queens to park their vehicles.
seems the MSM is reporting an increase in mentally ill women killing their own kids.......thanks Boston.....let's see if anyone interviews the loud obnoxious Cows from the Clancy Jury....see if they admit to having blood of children on their hands.
Let's hope someone like Elon Musk is buying up the slums of DC, every decrepit building that is falling down......and when it becomes a State.....move in 10,000 conservatives for 6 months and lets steal the Senate Seats....
Brewers-Indians could be a real throwback classic world series......no offense to Tampa....but i would hate to see the Fall Classic in that miserable dome.

the actual Public Service Announcement pertains to Sweater Nite 29....I hope to see at least one Ken Dryden Sweater donning his oddball number.
the truth is we are getting squeezed.....the NFL drifts further into February and the MARCHing Irishmen are pregaming for the high Holy days earlier and earlier.
The Super Bowl this year will be on the Sunday of Presidents weekend, aka the traditional day of Sweater Night, Sunday Feb 14th.
So we moved it back a week......but it turns out the Bay Ridge Parade dinner/dance in El Caribe is the same night.......SOOOO.....since we have a long history of Sweater Nite alum serving as Deputy Grand Marshals we decided to move it back another day.
There may be some hungover skaters, but at least they can attend both events if they so chose....
Sweater Nite will be held on Sunday Feb 21st in PC's.......pregame skate hopefully at the Kettle Black, but stay tuned for that one.
Rangers at the Stanley Cup Champion Hurricanes at 1:00
Sabres at the Dead Wings at 3:30 TNT
Devils at the Blackhawks at 6:00
in a peculiar scheduling event.....the Flyers will be hosting the Habs on Monday AFTERNOON........a 2:00 start on a weekday because the league wants to televise a few games in prime time for eastern Europe....go figure.

you got the spare change
you got to feel strange ( N. Young)
Not much chatter on the MSM about this topic, but now Quebec has officially scheduled a Vote, along with Alberta; to ask the people if they wish to seceede from Canada.
On one side you have Mark Carney and Neil Young insisting that Canada remain galvanized and unified against outside forces that wish to destroy them ( TRUMP) and on the other side you have 2 very different provinces that feel the ship is sinking and they would prefer to go it alone. The truckers set the table a few years ago and i think it resonated with the populace....the Govt painted regular ordinary truck drivers that were protesting Vaccine mandates as terrorists......the limp wristed ottawa ruling class, the ones that support BLM and have more tolerance than snow; could not tolerate their own working class voicing their dislike of the Vaccine policy....and so the Govt called in the military, villified the truckers, shut down their bank accounts, blocked donations from the US and other Canadiens and basically threatened to blacklist and destroy the lives of anyone that continued to protest in the Capitol.
In a similar show of Authoritarian force, the Security of Rogers Place (Edmonton, Alberta) home of the Edmonton Oilers, has banned the Alberta Flag......strange....and during a home game Saturday Night the Police and Security teams aggressively confronted and threw out people waving the Flag of the Province.....not a Gay Flag or a Palastinian flag but the Flag of the Province in which they live and exist and do business....they are telling the paying cstomers that thay cannot support their own Province....this will backfire dramatically......there already is a grass roots movement to bring thousands of flags into the arena for the next home game...Thurs Oct 15 they host Utah....stay tuned.....either the arena caves or we may very well see a riot in olde Edmonton.
the crackdown on the Truckers may have worked short term too......but it sowed the seeds of contempt and is now coming back to bite them......As Carney portrays America as the villian and tries to cozy up with the EU, the people are calling BS....they see this window in time as an opportunity to either pull away and gain Freedom from an oppresive regime OR force meaningful change within....they might realize that the may never be another time with someone as sympathetic to their cause, as they have with Trump right now......he would love to strike favorable trade pacts with 2 breakaway Provinces...just to stick it up Carneys butt....
Something similar is simmering in France.......More like Burning.......the protests are being framed as a statement on school conditions, but it is as obvious as the Palastinian Flags that they wave as to what it is really about.....on the anniversary of Oct 7th is it really a surprise that the moslems are burning the city and diverting attention.....this is a fight for the future of France.....and i may be an optimist, but i think these protests will backfire and lead to the election of right wing Marine Le Pen in April wen Macron is forced to step down due to term limits.......France is in dire straits and this may be her last chance to elect someone that will stop accepting moslem refugees and start deporting the illegals.....it may be too late already, but i have faith.....once you get outside the Big Cities, I hear the people in the countryside lean right, love their country and want desperately to preserve their culture......time will tell
I mentioned Neil in the beginning and i chose this lyric because i think it's hysterical that the Frog that had soo much to say about Alabama and Civil Rights in the USA.....has remained silent on the 2 Provinces considering Seceding..he is a laughable hypocrite, but i still play his music ...and look at my picture of Neil and Trump arm in arm and full of smiles back in the day....

I need not fear
Jesus' gonna be the engineerThen you'll need that true religionAllelu (Jorma)It will be interesting to see where this Cornell story goes......strong arguments on both sides...collusion....privilege's....cover ups......this story has everything ...and for every person that insists May 8 1977 in Ithaca NY was the greatest Dead show of all time, there are an equal number that side with Dick Latvala and stand with the May 22nd show in Pembroke Pines, Fl
serious question.....Tennessee botched an execution last week, why not just strap the criminal onto a gurney and lock them in a room with a steady flow of carbon monoxide ? it works in garages and in the movies......you fall asleep and wake up dead .....seems like a reasonable way to go.
don't look now but the Rangers and Giants are both 3-1 and atop their respective divisions.....it's early....but it's better than being 1-3.
It is refreshing to see those miserable SOB's at NIKE struggling financially....the stock has been in a long downward spiral and now they are facing massive layoffs......they went out of their way to back any and every controversial-anti American-poor character slobs they could find......they spit in the face of average Americans that bought their products, got in bed with China.....manufactured their sneakers in sweat shops with slave labor in Asia and also had the balls to Lecture the rest of the world on Human Rights....Portland scum....good riddance......it's ironic that they didn't listen to the one man most responsible for their rise to global domination in the sneaker market.....Michael Jordan and his Air Jordans were Nike's ticket to fame.......and when asked why he refused to weigh in on politics and or support Democratic candidates at the time.....Jordan replied " Because conservatives by sneakers too".....simple, sage advice.....it is still astonishing how many companies, actors, musicians or athletes have no problem alienating half the country by attacking their beliefs.......go woke, go broke.
well.....i'll say it again.......Trump does what is best for Trump.....and i am seriously questioning his judgement and motives these days.....case in point the South Carolina senate seat.......a safe Republican seat back in June when Lindsey Graham died.......but Donn insisted on first getting Lindsey's sister named interim Senator and then convincing her to run for the vacant seat and supporting her through the primaries.....she is dumber than 2 stumps.....and has no business running for dog catcher, let alone senate; and so now with the election 1 month away, the Demonrat candidate has a lead.....serves him and all the sheep that voted for the little sister right.
Trump is also offering cash checks to everyone and anyone...trying to buy votes....Last year the Republicans dug in and ended subsidies for Obama care...and now Trump wants to send checks to people that lost their subsidy....for the last decade i accused the demonrats of trying to bankrupt the country and now i can't sit on the sidelines while Donn does the same thing.....wrong is wrong.....the Trump accounts are Brilliant, but the rest of the deliberate spending sucks.
2 recent terrorist attacks thwarted......who else on the planet could be behind these attacks ? we ALL know it is Iran ? are we waiting for them to succeed before we respond or just waiting until after the mid terms ? not very different from Hillary blaming Benghazi on a video.......the swamp is deep and EVERY Politician in drowning.

Well, take the pillow from under my headJesus's gonna make up my dyin' bedThen you'll need that true religionAllelu
and it was far away ,
and it was so much better
than it is today. ( Meat Loaf)
I have been looking back fondly on the glory of the sports world in the 1970's-1980's and I realize just how spoiled I was. The things i remember that were so great, that they couldn't possibly go away...and then suddenly went away. I loved baseball and watched all summer long for as long as i can remember, but i really earned my sea stripes during and after the Mets trip to the World Series in 1973.( I was lucky enough to attend game 4 of the Mets-Reds series...yep, the day AFTER the Rose-Harrelson fight) and i was devastated when my "second favorite" team, the Oakland A's ; defeated my Mets in 7.....Truth is that the prior year i listened to my older brothers drone on and on about how the more professional, and classier and simply better Big Red Machine would crush the upstart clowns in their green and gold uniforms.....i immediately fell in love with Oakland and my childhood hero was Joseph Oden Rudi...#26.
for the rest of the decade we were blessed with some of the Best National and American League Championship series.....there was something special about only 2 divisions in each league and one 5 game series to decide who goes to the World Series.....something very dreadful and sudden to be eliminated in 3 or 4 games after battling for 6 months and 162 regular season games.........bam it's over......like a Johnny Bench golf shot that just cleared the wall or a Chris Chambliss Bomb into the October Night that still hasn't come down......but the real beauty.....this thing that set baseball apart from all the others....was the 3:00 weekday start under that October cloudless sky ....the setting sun that played havoc on right fielders...the shadows from the light stanchions that creeped across the infield as the later inning approached....the blackout under the eye that every player seemed to donn.....and the green grass that survived August heat, just seemed to breath new life with every Kelly green Blade.
I remember racing home from grade school to catch the Orioles-Athletics series and listening to Tom Seaver as a guest in the booth talk about Jim Palmer.....and then chuckle as the mighty A's crushed their dreams, year after year.....I remember the story about the house behind the Center Field wall at Memorial Stadium , and how they refused to paint it Navy Blue to help the batters eye....and so the Orioles planted trees obstructing their view......i remember Rick Monday going yard to snap a tie in the 9th inning of game 5 in Montreal in 1981....a dejected Gary Carter....( surely that game would have been moved to 8:00 nowadays). I remember the Candyman (John Candeleria) and his Pirates battling the Reds.....and of course the Yankees-Royals parts 1,2 and 3.......and that one day playoff in Fenway Park....if ever there was a 3 hour commercial for the game, something that should have been bottled up and sent to the Smithsonian to explain to future generations what Baseball was like in her prime....this was it.......I can still see Nettles settling under that Yazstremski pop up..........yes we were blessed.
I still long for those days......and i still love the baseball playoffs..although sometimes i find myself sitting in a backyard, under the brilliant fall sunshine, sipping a delicious beer , and instead of focusing on the game on TV......i'm thinking of Lenny Dykstra leaping 5 feet in the air as his HR sailed into the dugout in the bottom of the 9th vs the Astros at Olde Shea......of Bert Campaneris throwing his bat at the Tigers or Reggie breaking his leg on a play at the plate....or Stargell & the Cobra sweeping the Reds in 79, we are family.......or Rusty Staub lacing doubles off the wall and Tug Mcgraw hopping off the mound......Thurman Munson hitting a blast into monument park ....the series was tied 1-1.....bottom of the 8th.....Yanks trailing 5-4......Munson hit a mammoth blast off Doug bird ....410 feet....i had to just stop and watch the video on You Tube....you should too.....the crowd demanded a Curtain Call, he finally popped out of the dugout with his catching gear on...Reggie greeted him at home plate.......Cosell announcing ... said it was Thurman's first homer in 54 games ....the field was in complete shadow....but the left-center field bleachers were drenched in sunshine........we'll never see the likes of meaningful day baseball again.
anyway.....i bought myself a new 75 inch TV for the wall in my garagee...it is being delivered and installed tomorrow morning....the fridge is packed with beeeer and hot dogs and kielbasa will be grilled before the first pitch......and i will watch, but my mind may still be lingering in the 70's 80's....

blind and dirty, he asked me for a dime
a dime for a cup of coffee.....
i got no dime but i have some time
to hear a story (Hunter-Garcia)
so i remember the cup with maroon triangles more than anything else.....i see it consistently....i dream about it....it's always there......i will try to find a picture on the internet.......it's significance to me is not just because i was fiddling with the lid to add sweet & Low when i was knocked out of my chair and onto my desk when the first plane struck my building.....it was the last thing i saw before all hell broke loose......i had a recurring dream ( and still do) that i am in the building and i am the only one that knows the planes are coming....and that cup is always there......and all of a sudden in my dream i realize that i have to run for the stairs......usually wake up in a cold sweat......but that cup....yep......it never should have been there, but it may have saved my life.
In the summer/autumn of 2001 I was working for Instinet Clearing Services ( a subdivision of Reuters...we were one of the first and only at the time ECN ; electronic crossing networks) we were on the 13th Floor of the North Tower...TOWER 1....first hit, last to fall. I was part of their venture into a Retail Brokerage offering and a Clearing Corp......we were still in our early stages and Reuters was prepping for an IPO to take us public ( an offering that i would have close to 100,000 share of options ...i was going to retire before my 50th birthday) i digress.....in the summer of 2001, since we did not have much work, the Margin Dept did a lot of sitting around, we took extended lunches in Little Italy or the Village, Drank in O'Haras and played on the computer......but we had a regular breakfast in the Port Authority Cafeteria on the 43rd floor of Tower 1 ( we had to take 2 elevators to get there) we would sit there and admire the incredible views while we read the post and drank coffee.....It was me, Johnny Fraulo, Pooch and Anthony.........but the day prior it just so happened that Fraulo was on Vacation in Vegas.....Pooch was on Jury Duty in Staten Island and Anthony was always late on the Express Bus from Brooklyn.......so as i rode the ferry over from Hoboken i decided to grab a coffee from a street vendor on Vesey street between wtc 6 and wtc 7.......ironically i then walked up the survivor staircase to the plaza and into Tower 1....and so a few minutes later i was at my desk ( and NOT in the elevator going to the cafeteria) i have often wondered what would have happened if any of the other 3 were in the office......the howling screams i heard coming from the elevators just a few minutes later (while i was on the Emergency Phones by the Stairs) could have been my own screams....the burnt, smoldering corpses that littered the lobby just 10 minutes later , the still smoking bodies we had to step around to get to the Vista Hotel could have been me and my buddies....
I remember Sept 13th ....i was the only person in my car on the NJ Transit train....I had to walk from Hoboken to our disaster site at 101 Pavonia Ave in Jersey City...it was a ghost town....we setup shop in a room that housed our computer servers...it was freezing in there, it had to be.....and the Old AC unit made a loud BANG every time it kicked on.....which was every few minutes......i remember some of the women were in tears from being scared by the loud noises....i remember some of them were sent home....i remember we had one long window in the room that faced lower Manhattan......we spent a month there.....there weren't any good bars there along the water in 2001......but we had a deli......and everyday the four of us would grab 3 or 4 pints in brown bags and sit on a park bench and stare across the Hudson at the smoldering pile that used to be our office (years later Dorrians would open across the street) we watched the smoke change from Black....to grey......to a sickening yellow haze......for weeks it continued to rise....slowly killing everyone and everything in it's path.....and we sat helpless across the river just watching...wondering ...waiting.
I share some of this today because i fear that many in the country have....if not forgotten...have chose to move on......i fear that attention paid to the anniversary will only wane and diminish from year 26 and forward...i wanted to get this out and on paper before it slipped from my memory too....although i doubt that will happen ....my luck, even i have Alzheimer's someday; this will be the only shit that sticks with me.....the Cup with the maroon triangles....i wish i could find one, i would post a picture.
anyway...stay safe......i'm going off the grid until saturday.....i have a beach chair and a cooler full of beer with my name written all over it
I got up and wandered
Wandered downtown
nowhere to go
just to hang around
that time loves a hero
But only time will telland so just a few days before the 25th anniversary comes news that 9/11 related cancers saw an dramatic uptick this past year , but who knows if that is even true....doctors, lawyers and other liars are all in this game for the money....they have managed to put a price tag on everything from cancer to heart burn....does it diminish from the people that truly lost their lives on that day or years later from the smoke ? that's for everyone to decide on their own........i just think its disgusting to live in a time where everything has to taken with a grain of salt...so many lies, distractions and censorship.......I fully understand how older folks become so jaded and distrusting of anyone and everything.
This week Gov Pataki said the he has a 9/11 related "restricted airway disease" .....ok..........he was Gov from 1995-2006......did he stand up for the people of his State and insist that the air quality was a problem in the days, weeks, months afterwards.....OR...did he hide behind Kristy Todd Whittman........Whittman of course apologized for claiming the air was Fine.....in 2016......what took so long ?
Yesterday mandanni released files that he said were found in lock boxes in city hall.....smoking gun memo's showing the Guliani Administration knew all along that the asbestos in the air was a problem and that they hid the truth and were more concerned about the cities lawsuit liability.
I am grateful that i am still here 25 years later.....i don't know if it helped....but while i spent an Hour in a thick cloud of smoke outside Castle Clinton and the Holocaust Memorial ( so thick i couldn't even see Mondo standing next to me, could hear his voice, couldn't see his face) i used a water bottle that someone was giving out , to wet the sleeve of my work shirt and then i tried to breathe through the shirt....using the wet shirt as a filter to block some of the dust from getting to my lungs....maybe it helped....i still feel in the back of my mind that i will walk into a doctor someday and be given a 6 month death sentence.....nothing i can do about that, i try not to think about that too much....but every year this month of September gets worse and worse.
anyway, this time next week i will be in good old Bayridge......Blisstock on the 19th and the Hoban run on the 20th.....hopefully i see a lot of friendly faces on the Hill at Owls Head....

You can hear happinessStaggering on down the streetFootprints dressed in redAnd the wind whispers"Mary" (Jimi)I think Hakeem is stalking me........no, not Hakeem Olajuwon......he's Hakeem the Dream.....i'm talking about the New York Nightmare....Hakeem Craig Jeffries...
Thursday i gave a brief overview on Data Centers and how i thought they could be reigned in and managed so that both sides benefitted....and yesterday Hakeem took the bait. ( Truth be told/ in fairness he was responding to POTUS......Trumpski said cities that reject Data centers flat out, are backwards and doomed to be left behind this economic windfall)
But Hakeem of course had to paint data centers as the new satan.....and insisted the Repubs were trying to unleash this horrible monster on the American public....it's kind of sad, but the big blue North gets what they deserve when they continue to elect morons.....they vote on party lines only , and in primaries they choose the candidates with the best sound bites or whomever their union tells them to support.......data centers do not have to / nor should they be a partisan issue......both sides should be actively pursuing their construction in their districts, with safeguards and on good financial terms for their constituents.
So, what we can expect to see is that more data centers will be built in Red States in the South......already low property taxes will shrink or go away entirely....quality of life investments like parks and recreation will flourish and technology field jobs will be created.........and up north ? more of the same red tape... just like how they will squander the FB payout on more bureaucracy and govt overreach programs.......it is a shame, because i truly do love NY/NJ and do not wish to see these states abandoned.
Lots of Talk about these FLOCK cameras.....i don't see why it is such a problem to fix......i share concerns with many over the loss of privacy...and i despise Big Brother Govt spying....but in this day and age with so many abductions of children and ex spouses, a few minutes could be the difference between life and death....I think it can be an fixed.....limit access to the data....only provide unlimited access in the areas surrounding a disappearance /abduction, and for a brief window....and only grant access after the fact ( for evidence gathering) if accompanied by a warrant........do not allow Cops to search for their ex wife's whereabouts on his lunch hour.......and no blind searches for a specific plate without a warrant.
I am following this Clancy case in Mass.......lady killed her 3 toddlers and then either tried to kill herself or create a smokescreen to distract everyone......the murder of the kids is NOT in doubt....from what i understand they are trying to determine her mental state at the time of the killing....I do not think a jury of average Joe's should be responsible for that.....this sb a trial before a judge and let both side provide their experts testimony....and let the judge decide.
must be bitter resentment for fans of the Notorious B.I.G (Chris Wallace) aka Biggy Smalls......he was murdered in 1997 as payback for the part he played in the murder of Tupac Shakur....this was during the infamous Rap wars between East Coast and West Coast Rappers........Martians, this is not a joke.....well now it turns out that Tupac was killed by the Uncle of some LA rapper that he beat up earlier in the evening.....and Biggy had nuthin to do wit it......shame.
anybody seen Mikie ? an 8 month old infant was killed and his Mother & Sister hospitalized , when they were run over by a vehicle in a supermarket parking lot in Jackson ( i believe) New Jersey.......spoiler alert...not only was the driver unlicensed, but she was illegal....maybe, just maybe...if the State of NJ cooperated with ICE ( instead of protesting outside of Delaney Hall) this 20 year old miscreant would have been identified and detained BEFORE she murdered an infant.....maybe the family of the deceased should file a $100 million lawsuit against the State for Failing to enforce /assist Federal Immigration policies .
a few sports prognostications........NFL win totals
Falcons over 7 1/2
Browns over 5 1/2
Broncos under 9 1/2
Jaguars under 8 1/2
and NVDA is lingering between 215 and 220.....this is a $300 stock.....if you have patience and a few sheckles....load up......i'd say it hits $300 next May around earnings time...
