It seems to work for me...

What I did was I went to the intersection you said, then I clicked on the map image, then on 'properties' and copied that location...

I think it really stinks that they want to push the pushcart out of a neighborhood where it really BELONGS!

The picture won't load for me, but that's nothin' new for this ancient computer. Thanks, Wyld, for providing this valuable service for the rest of Blunderland.

Still dunno why my link didn't work. Guess I coulda posted a question at the Tech Support board, but I never read that board; I don't understand all that talk about bandwidth & browsers, & besides it bores me...

hmmm...
I heard a rumor that it doesn't work for others either.... and now, a day later, it won't work for me... so I guess everyone who is interested would have to copy the street names into the search on mapquest, and get it for themselves...

ya can't say I didn't try!

Hall of Fame broadcaster Chuck Thompson, the long-time voice of the Orioles, has passed away. He is most famous for his error-filled description of Bill Mazeroski's 9th-inning homer to win the 1960 World Series for the Pirates. His description of Hal Smith's 8th-inning homer ("Forbes Field has turned into an outdoor insane asylum!") is more worthy of his legacy, yet not replayed nearly as often.

Soooooo.....the House Government Reform Committee has invited several Major League baseball stars to testify as to the steroids issues.

The players politely declined.

So the Committee said, if ya won't appear voluntarily, we'll issue subpoenas & make ya appear.

Siiiiiiggggghhhhhh.......Whatever happens, if it happens, won't be as entertaining as Casey Stengel's famous July 8, 1958 testimony before the Senate Anti-Trust and Monopoly Subcommittee. Congress ain't seen the likes of ol' Casey, before or since.

Sit back, read, & laugh.

7 more months!

Joe - You've got a great memory!

Casey gives the Congressmen what feels like a half-hour of pure double talk.

Then Mickey Mantle is called and says something like - I feel about the same as Mr. Stengel.

It's you who has the great memory, Steve---I'm just well-read on the great game of baseball; I was only 3 mos. & 5 days old when Casey gave his testimony. If you click on the link I provided, the transcript ends with the famous Mantle line, which is really the punch line to the whole thing.

Gosh! I didn't see the link, Joe.

I was 11 and baseball was a huge part of my childhood.

I'm really sorry to blow the punch line.

Everyone should read that entire narration through.

Thanks for providing that link.

Don't worry about giving away the punch line, Steve---after all, the folks here can listen to "Alice's Restaurant" 20 times a day & still laugh at it, so they'll probably still laugh at Mantle's comment if they make it all the way to the end of the transcript.

So I see you're a NJ guy, & thus, I'm guessing, a Yankee fan? Not to bring back unpleasant memories, but do you remember where you were when Bill Mazeroski hit his famous homer?

I was in kindergarten.

OHHHHHHHHH.........I guess it was the weekend, so I would have been on a horse in Oregon.

Bill Mazeroski's home run . . . Joe, wasn't that later determined to have been foul?

Just kidding.

I don't remember where I was but I remember listening on the radio. The World Series was played in the afternoons back in the 1960. I remember having some early-October problems in school over the years.

What a great series though! The Yankees outscored Pittsburgh by a ton in three games but lost four close ones. And the Pirates were for real: they came up with 10 when they had to to win that last game by one run.

I have friends headed for FL tomorrow. They've got tickets to a number of exhibition games. I wish I were going. I've been there (done that) and it's really cool seeing games when the players all more relaxed. But it's like you've got to be there It's not something I enjoy on TV while I have to warm up my car here in Jersey - from a distance, they're just meaningless games.

LOL @ about the foul ball.

I remember some elaborate schemes we concocted in grade school so we could listen to the World Series. Hard to imagine today's kids doing that.

I'd like to do the spring training thing, but in my line of work, there's no winter vacations (which is why I hope to retire early). This Sun., however, if the weather cooperates (& it's not supposed to rain or snow), I'm gonna go check out some college baseball & watch Duquesne play La Salle.
