Click on this one on your phone or iPad and see if that works. I had the same issue a long time ago and it’s because the link was http and not https.

16 BEAVERS!!!

Yes. I was a Beaver gymnast. We were 4th at NCAA Nationals my freshman year. It was a freaking HOOT!

A group of guys from the all boys dorm across the street managed to get the University to loan them a van to road trip from Corvallis to Salt Lake City for nationals. It was wild! We marched in with the other teams and they were there, yelling like maniacs!

BEAVERS!!!!

Not everywhere. In my area (coastal OC) I can get off-brand as low as 3.65. Chevron and other brand name regular is 4.29 to high 4's depending. Of course I haven't gone outside since yesterday - don't know if anything changed overnight but doubt it - we would have heard.

Some of the remote areas may be considerably higher - I recall seeing it very high in Needles but it's a 10 minute drive to the Arizona side.

Gasbuddy is a good resource for finding gas prices anywhere.

40 I will commit blasphemy here. I don't give a damn about the college football playoffs, at least at the BCS level. Just don't care. Maybe if I had a rooting interest that would help, but all season long, my interest level kept dropping. Now, meh. The next couple of games I'm going to watch is the DIII Championship and the FCS Championship.

Now, off to the 5-sided nut house in Arlington, VA. A midshift beckons. Probably post non sense from there, assuming my overlords haven't played with the firewalls. They do that, for giggles.

Just looked at Needles on Gasbuddy - Calif side - 5.60/gal, Arizona side: 2.87 or so.

Blythe: Ca side: 4 or 5/gallon, Az side: 2.60/gal.

I don't see how the gas stations on the California side survive - in both cases the Arizona stations are a ten minute drive away - if that.

81 We had "issues" with beavers at our place in WV. They were taking down some trees near powerlines that feed a cabin, and then, the rest of the folks on the hillside. We called various authorities as they are "protected" there.

No joy.

So a buddy of mine, with a .22 plugged one from our deck at about 100 yds. He took the tail for a trophy.

304 I used to live in Yachats OR,.
The Ducks and the Beavers are known for their yearly Civil War.
The city a few miles north of Yachats, Waldport,
puts out a weekly newspaper.
Someone complained that beavers were coming up from the river and destroying the trees in their orchard and asked about the process for getting a depredation permit to shoot them.
Some suggested that all they had to do was erect a goal post and the beavers would never get through it.

We had flooding one winter. There was a coffee shop located on the Alsea Bay in Waldport that was owned by a lesbian couple. The newspaper reported on the business that were affected by the flooding and noted that the coffee shop sustained no damage, because it was surrounded by dykes.

They do have an amazing Track and Field program. Many many many Olympians have been through.

“Yeah… Live makeouts on Sports Center. Get into it,” he said in response to the normal couples.

“Ohhhhhhhh! What are we….” he said in response to the gay couple before catching himself.

Back in the mid-70s at Michigan Tech, our Division (not One) football team played in a conference of secondary schools that were branch campuses for the Division One schools in Wisconsin and Minnesota. Think, University of Minnesota, Duluth, for example.

One of these schools was Bemidji State University; its team was the Beavers. Thus, for Homecoming at Tech one year where Bemidji State was the opponent, a button was sold for the game with the slogan, "Go Huskies -- Lick the Beavers" and it prominently displayed a Husky atop (mounting?) a prone Beaver on its back.

There was a lot of sniggering over that one, as you could imagine.

122 Wish I could watch that game but.... If I watch IU play football,, they lose. Dad worked for IU for decades in athletic dept. He got free tickets to home football games. I would go, IU would lose. They were down by so much at the half one time that even the die hard fans were leaving. I bailed. Heard later that they made a stunning comeback in the third quarter and won by a field goal.
Same thing happens when I watch on TV.

It is starting to really look like our new President of the United Nations Security Council, Abukar Dahir Osman, used to run an operation that was convicted of criminal Medicare fraud in a home health agency.

That's who is in charge of authorizing UN military operations and international peacekeeping troops. This is ridiculous.

The exclusion code associated with this NPI is 1128a1 ... which is that this entity has been convicted of Medicaid/Medicare crimes!

This is what it was about the entire time. As much as everyone wants to point the finger at Waltz and Omar (and they are guilty as hell), Obama is the architect of this scheme. I bet you not one democrat is innocent of this scam.

144 Legitimate, non-fraudulent daycares in Minnesota rarely have significant surpluses. The industry faces a crisis: Over 1,000 providers closed since 2020, per state data, due to low profitability (margins

The $35 million donation claim, if true, wouldn't come from operational profits — it's alleged to stem from fraudulent overbilling or ghost enrollments. For instance:

Centers reportedly claimed subsidies for hundreds of non-existent children, pocketing millions (e.g., one center allegedly received $10 million since 2019 despite appearing inactive).

This "surplus" could then be funneled to donations, potentially to influence policy or launder money.

And I bet a lot of Republicans (e.g. Tom Emmer) are guilty in this scam as well.
