Lucky

I need a new A/C, or at least I will soon. The one I have has lasted 17 years and has been a faithful friend. I have had mixed luck with salesman. They don't seem to want to work.

Well, I guess I have to hope that the provider likes me. Rates have gone so high these days that adding a tip is a stretch for me.

So people with amputated hands can't get a massage!

That sure sounds good to those of us in the hot desert!

Artem Dovbyk of Ukraine looks darn good!

Wow! Shohei bombed on the mound last night. He didn't make it past the first inning! That was a stunner! At least he didn't throw up!!

Shohei is scheduled to pitch tonight (7EDT) and also bat. He leads the league in home runs with 28 and hit three against the Yanks in the first 2 games. I know I will be watching!!

I saw it live on TV! https://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/yankees/ny-dylan-bundy-vomit-durant-20210629-r4qomhhrhnd57jn4mqfgz6kwzy-story.html

When I lived in San Francisco, we would get about 5 days a year of temps in the 105 range. Without A/C, we endured it, knowing it would not last and that the next day might actually be cold and foggy!

@WilliamM Have you ever read The Art of War right after reading (or before) War and Peace?

Yikes! Reno at his worst! And I am a fan.

So think of us poor guys already at the top rank. No promotions in sight!

I noticed the change, but was happy to hide the post because I wanted the moderators to read it! I wonder if they did!

And considering I would only be attracted to about 1% of the guys I see, then I'd have to cope with their attraction factor, likely similar to mine, and gosh, my right hand looks better and better!

It seems like everyone has a baseball cap and many have jerseys and t-shirts from their favorite teams. I have numerous NY Yankee paraphernalia, and usually can be seen wearing at least a cap. But I can't wear the several items I recently bought from Fanatics.com. They are a popular outlet for all kinds of sporting gear. But the items they sent me did not fit or were otherwise unsuitable. I decided to return one shirt and have another replaced. The refund came through but the new shirt never arrived. I cannot track it down since Fanatics sent it by FedEx Smart Delivery. Only the seller can protest delivery problems on those orders. And Fanatics makes it extremely difficult to contact them. First my password didn't work. Then they put me through so many hoops to prove i was not a robot that I gave up. It was one screen after another of items pictured. I must have seen ten of them before I gave up. They had sent me a survey to measure my customer satisfaction. I gave them a zero. They asked if I wanted them to contact me and I said yes. That was two months ago. I am still waiting.

That's been my experience as well, but in recent times some guys have pretty confidently stated Bi even years after coming out. So there are Biguys. Or should I say Bidudes?

And yesterday I read John Burdett's The Last Six Million Seconds (1997), about intrigue and corruption as Britain gets ready to hand over Hong Kong to China. This novel I highly recommend.

I wonder what constitutes having a "Happy Pride." For me, it is my acceptance of who I am as a gay man. So it isn't just a day or a month. But it sure was great when I finally stopped fighting my orientation.

There are 2 active members celebrating birthdays today. Happy birthday @Pete Happy birthday @Geriatric Otter

I am looking forward to the cancellation of the Summer Olympics. Yes, COVID.

Hmm. Sometimes I feel like having Asian...in the gym!

That's a lucky urinal!

Is that Boris Johnson on the left?

Butte? Of course!
