October 26, 1991: “We’ll see you tomorrow night!”
Kirby Puckett walks it off for the Twins against the Braves in the Bottom of the 11th of Game 6 of the World Series to force a Game 7.
This 9.8 Jordan second SI, one of four in this grade by CGC, sold tonight at @GoldinCo for $378,200.
A 9.8 previously sold at Heritage three years ago for $126,000.
@ClaytonTrutor I was a resident of GA for 30+ years. I lived in an ATL suburb during 1991. I flew on a Braves charter to Game 6 in MN. I was sitting in left field as part of those group tickets. You know the rest.
Just a guy with 39 successful combat flight missions on his resume about to dig in with a guy who was a machine gunner at Omaha Beach on D-Day behind the plate. Two men.
There's a small window in life when your parents are healthy, your children are little, and everyone is happy and together. It feels like it will last forever, it won’t. Cherish every moment of it.
A letter to our Senators and Representatives.
Gentlemen,
I am a 64-year-old American that has worked and paid taxes since I was fifteen years old. I have never taken any type of handout from anyone, including the US government. After 49 years of working, I have decided to retire, at least partially. According to you, it’s “early retirement”. I don’t consider 49 years of working, “early”. Had I been a government employee I could have retired 29 years ago, or had I been a senator, I could have retired, what… 39 years ago? with full retirement pay and free healthcare for life.
Because I retired before reaching my “full retirement age”; which is decided by you, I have a reduced Social Security payment, which you refer to as a “benefit”. I see it as a return of my money that I have paid in for 49 years. This reduced payment is not enough to live on. The payment at full retirement age is not enough to live on. I have to work some, to supplement my income, but low and behold I can only earn a certain amount (which is still not enough to live on) and then you start docking my Social Security.
Apparently, I earned too much at some point because I just received a letter from the SSA stating that my next three SSA payments will be cut in half, and the real kicker is I still “owe” $38.00. I can’t work more to make up the difference because I will only be further penalized.
It is extremely infuriating, as an American citizen, to be treated this way. Look at the amount of fraud, look at the number of people, many of whom have never paid a dime into the system, receiving free benefits from the government. Look at the billions paid to and on behalf of illegal immigrants. All I want is the money I paid in and a chance to retire in peace.
@BamaSaltyMarine This should be on repeat in every American household as a reminder about the lost souls and the many brave citizens currently protecting our great country.
