Love this headline from today's Free Press: City plain language proposal criticized as not clear enough https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews/2023/06/29/city-plain-language-proposal-criticized-as-not-clear-enough

Bobby Osborne, the lead singer and mandolinist of the Osborne Brothers, a group that broadened the commercial appeal of bluegrass music and recorded two of the genre’s most enduring standards, “Rocky Top” and “Ruby, Are You Mad?,” died June 27 at a hospital in Gallatin, Tenn. He was 91. His son Bobby Osborne Jr. confirmed the death but did not give a cause. Mr. Osborne was one of the last living musicians from the genre’s first generation, having begun his career in the late 1940s as a guitarist with the Lonesome Pine Fiddlers. He was also the Grand Ole Opry’s oldest regular performer at the time of his death; he joined the show’s cast with his brother Sonny in 1964 and last appeared on its stage on May 19.

The evidence has presented itself for anyone with a modicum of investigate skills.

At least we know who would dare pick against the Bombers around here. Well done....(?)

Gregory Alan Isakov filling in for Orville Peck at the FolkFest is a huge win for me.

Cuthbert and Wells are probably my 2 favorite all-time. Didn't like Wittman or Armitage for any sport. Mark Lee was great for athletics, but the worst volleyball play-by-play man in the history of television. Again, personal preferences.

To each his own. The Smith/Dunigan combo is my favorite.

Just a comment about the age of our roster. I don't have any issue with it as we're coming off a 15-3 season and barely lost the Champeenship. I'd have a different view if we were .500 or worse and didn't make changes. We got whooped and it's better to find bottom now than later. As an old Ukrainian curler once said to me in a similar situation: "The birds aren't singing for me today". The birds will sing again and it won't be the Allouette variety, either.

Well....that was disappointing.

"I know you are, but what am I", is not up to my level of political discourse. If you'd like to participate in discussions about ideas, facts and history, I'd be more than happy to join you. Not going to continue on this path just so you can get a timeout.

And why are you assigning emotions like "hate" to people you don't even know? What's with the constant hyperbole from your side of the political spectrum? Meanwhile, the troll has been trolled and I hope his medicine tasted great.

Bootstraps aren't even strong enough to walk out the metaphorical door. The troll got trolled and had a hissy fit. Not my problem. I'm sorry for your loss.

Tax-free money?

How can I say goodbye when you won't leave?

Oh please. Take some responsibility and control your own actions.

Weird how people say things they regret when they don't take the time to consider what other people are saying.

Anyone want to take a guess at how many light bulbs are in use at any one time across the departments that Buildings & Maintenance are responsible for? Also, Buildings & Maintenance are notoriously understaffed and therefore need to prioritize their calls. Heaven help everyone if heating/cooling goes down.

Janarion Grant owned the Lions last year. It started in Week 5 when he scored on a kick return at BC Place. The two sides played in Vancouver again in Week 19, and Grant took a punt 94 yards to the house to officially move past Keith Stokes for most return scores in franchise history. You’d think the Lions would’ve learned after that, but they didn’t. The Rutgers University product made them pay once again, this time in the 2022 West Final at IG Field on a 92-yard punt return. Their special teams coordinator Don Yanowsky left the team for the season owing to family reasons, leading to the Lions bringing in Mike Benevides as a special teams consultant. Benevides was the head coach of the Lions from 2012-14. It goes without saying, but Benevides better have a solution to slow down the top returner in the league. Grant also found the end zone on an electric 92-yard punt return last week in Regina. https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/2023/06/21/battle-of-the-unbeaten
