They are trying to suck me back in but it's not going to work even though there is temptation.

I know how this ends their bats will likely go cold during Brewers series or starting rotation is finally exposed. They ran into a Cubs team that was in a slump before the wildcard and yeah Cubs are/were the #1 offense in MLB and only scored 1 run during the 2 games that will not be the case for Brews. Brews are rank #2 offense in MLB and I think it will show in upcoming series.

That pretty much sums it up.

Atlanta moves on the NLDS.

I'm a sucker for nostalgia once a year I breakout the VCR that is on its last breath and watch old family videos most of them from my aunt who recorded so many get togethers as she was freelance videographer for local news. I can only get through 15-20 minutes before I get depress and feel like crying. Man I'm sucha p***y.

Right, those old videos can bring joy and sadness.
About 1-2 years ago, I digitized my VCR and 8 mm camcorder tapes. I had kept a VCR for decades just to eventually digitize the old tapes but I had either sold away the camcorder or donated it decades ago. Through a neighborhood email group, I found an old retired man living not far from my house and he lent me his camcorder which I used to digitize the 8 mm tapes as well.
I have yet to watch them fully but I noticed an odd thing: Way back in the 90s when I was graduating from a university in America, I had given my camcorder to record me in the Commencement. The guy was a fellow student. Well, he recorded 'me' in the crowd but it was the wrong person: Another graduate and that wrong person was in 90% of the video sitting with others! I cut out that part after digitizing. Haha!

Hey remember the "modern world" didn't start until like the year 2000 according to some members of PDF.

Before then TVs cost like $50,000 and nobody had the money to buy anything...but then everything in the world changed.

For instance I certainly had Nike/Reebok sneakers before they were "Made in China".
So did Marty McFly



Wait..wait..how is this possible?? There was no mass manufacturing back then...right?

Somewhere in there was the wrong 'me' sitting there. Showed the video to my wife and she said 'He doesn't look anything like you'. Anyway, of the good hour long video recorded on the camcorder, I was present in barely 2 minutes and even my name announced part was missed. Sigh!
