I think we’ll be in good shape by all star break. Finally got some pitching working for us, except for that Arighetti outing.

Sure is nice to be able to close out a close one.

I can remember back in the 60s, regular was 10 cents and ethyl was 12 cents….and that was full serve. No such thing as self serve. They’d check the oil, battery, wipe the front windshield, and pump the gas. I’m sure you remember as well. Good times.

True, but in that part of the world, safe travel hasn’t been that way for a while, what with the Houthis and the Somali pirates.

Man, whatever happened to little red?

Get change from $2.00. ^^^^^ Had the best burgers back then too. Mr. Burger on Lucas, Village burger on Lucas, Better Burger on Concord (my favorite), and later on, Bonus Burger on Lucas.

I watched the whole game…..hoping. Arighetti has had several games like that. HR on the 1st batter is never good.

Happy Father’s Day to you too. The Iranian leaders are difficult but I’m just showing that a threat to close the strait isn’t the same as closing it. So many twists and spins from so many news sources.

Well, if you did your homework, there are conflicting reports as 55 ships have passed through the strait today. I’ll stick with CENTCOM. Of course you’ll always believe the negative side. Shocker.

1973, I was attending Lamar and TexGas and Shamrock would have gas wars on Lucas St. in Beaumont…….17 cents. Could fill up my friend’s VW and get change.

lol. That’s where it got its name. I’ve seen drug store signs from around the turn of the 20th century that said “Take aspirin for your headache and heroin for your cough.”

No sir. I don’t care for any polls. If you don’t know about Trump and PBS, I’m not going to tell ya. How about a war update? That’s what the thread is about. I accidentally posted a meme that should have been on the political meme thread. Wasn’t paying attention. Just had some pintos and rice with home grown tomatoes sliced on the side. I’m feeling pretty good about now. Lol

PBS poll on Trump should be unbiased. Lmao.

But not to vote….got it. What an ugly building.

Have you had a good Saturday?

All cars look real similar today. Back then you could name the car instantly. Too bad these times are gone forever.

What’s wrong with people?

Paid $3.33 @ H-E-B in Lumberton yesterday.

Some people lead such negative lives. It subtracts years from your life. My grandkids make sure to add to mine. I’ve built up a surplus. Lol

Astro won 9-3. Peña with a 2 HR game. Altuve with a 3 run shot. Cam Smith made another highlight catch.

Out of curiosity, I looked this up with a Google search. I had heard about Libya’s sweet crude but not the others. Interesting: Crude oil is classified as "sweet" if it contains very low levels of sulfur (typically below 0.5%). While several countries produce high-quality, sweet crude, the highest-ranking oils based on extreme purity and low sulfur include: Kimray +4 Malaysia: Produces Tapis crude, which is frequently ranked as the cleanest crude in the world. It boasts remarkably low sulfur levels (as low as 0.03%) and a high API gravity, making it incredibly pure. Wikipedia +2 Algeria: Produces Saharan Blend, which is world-renowned for having almost zero sulfur content. Quora +2 Nigeria: Known for Bonny Light, a premium crude prized by refineries globally for its exceptionally low sulfur and high yields of high-value petroleum products. Quora +1 Libya: The country's crudes, such as Es Sider and Sharara, are exceptionally light and sweet, making them highly sought after in European refineries. Quora +1 Key Benchmarks: If you look at the largest volume and most widely traded sweet crudes, the United States (producing West Texas Intermediate) and the North Sea (producing Brent Crude) are the most famous global benchmarks for light, sweet crude

Yes, but they are both indicators.
