Me: What are your thoughts on the Blue Jays? Think they can grab the title?

Dad: No! Cheering for the Dodgers. Blow Jay's ruined 1992 & 1993 for me!

Me: Haha! Well, we'll have to see what happens

Dad: Once a Tigers fan, always a Tigers fan!

The protective iron bars on a grave have fallen, allowing evil spirits contained within to walk free amongst weak men. Not even God can save them now.

There really should be a corporate death penalty where the company is either nationalized or liquidated, the shareholders get absolutely nothing, and the entire c-suite goes to jail

41 TREES

In the summer of 2015, Toronto hosted the XVII Pan American and V Parapan American Games, the largest international multi-sport Games in Canada’s history. These 41 trees, which stand on the traditional lands of the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation, are in tribute to the 41 participating countries and territories, and the talent, commitment and teamwork of the athletes who were here in pursuit of a dream.

More than 10,000 athletes, coaches and officials participated in the TORONTO 2015 Games, thanks to the funding and leadership of the Government of Canada, the Province of Ontario, the City of Toronto, Lead Partner CIBC and 15 other municipalities across the Greater Golden Horseshoe region, three universities and more than a dozen other civic-minded corporate sponsors. None of it would have been possible without the passionate dedication of 23,000-plus Games-time volunteers. United We Play.

🌳🌳🌳 Welcome to Tree Thread: The Sequel.

Ten years ago today β€” July 10, 2015 β€” Toronto kicked off the 2015 Pan Am Games.

To mark the event, 41 trees were planted along a section of Front Street East β€” one for each country or territory.

In this thread, again, I'll review the state of every tree.

The lyrics you're looking for are likely from the R.E.M. song "Soldierβ„’. This is a
Song from their 1986 album Lifes Rich Pageant, it uses imagery and language
that suggests the song is about a group of soldiers, possibly those who fought
in the Civil War. @

Here are some lines from the song to provide context:
* "We used to be the sun”
+ "But now we're gone”
* "And we don't get to be the sun”
* "We're just a memory"
* "Amemory of you"

+ "Amemory of the sun’

The song explores themes of loss, displacement, and the fading away of a past
identity, possibly referring to the soldiers and their experiences.

tried to research something for a joke and got sidetracked by Google fabricating an R.E.M. song that does not exist

Right?! I think we forget that before the 20th century break from tradition, you needed to have a strong knowledge of the Western Lit canon, the bible, and several languages (Greek, Latin, French, German) to understand the dense references (not unlike this dang fog) in most texts.

β€œThis is exactly where an architecture policy can play a key role. And by β€œarchitecture” we shouldn’t just think of buildings. We should think of buildings and landscapes as well as transportation infrastructure, plazas and parkways as elements of the built environment that make our society thrive.”
