That will be the death knell for DirectTV in communities where cable or good enough WiFi to support streaming are available. As we see universal broad stream  access as bipartisan infrastructure legislation in both state legislatures and the Congress, the hold on rural is waning (Musk ahead of the game on that one.). York’s Senator Kristin Phillips-Hill (R) leads the charge on this in PA and Biden (D) and the bipartisan group on the base infrastructure package lead the way from the Federal perspective.  Prediction: Dish and the DirectTV spin-off merge and within 10 years go the way of Blockbuster if they don’t change like Netflix did.

That would be huge!!!  That way I can watch the Eagles out at my fire pit.  And I’m convinced the NFL wants Beezos to be the owner of the Redskins. 

Ya need some Binoculars to see the TV.

Projectors are pretty awesome.  I got a crappy one on Amazon for movie night for my daughters 16th.  She used it every weekend for movies with her friends on her bedroom wall.

I just got a Epson home cinema pro projector for my theater room. It’s great highly recommended.

Ah... well, generally speaking, I don't see that sort of thing.  .   Sorry.   Gotta say, I was really confused.

Watching Turning Point:9/11 on Netflix right now.  Absolutely chilling remembering sitting in Col Buntings class at VFMA as a senior ready to accept an ROTC scholarship. That day pushed me into declining so I could enlist and get in as quick as possible.

I was a Senior in HS. Next day I went to the recruiting office.

God Bless you for your service.   I was a 24 year old, who had had an AFROTC Scholarship, but decided to give it up after two years and turned to teaching instead of my original plan as a physics major to go into the USAF.  I was in the second week of my second year teaching on that day.  I had 18 year olds looking at me, seeking answers to questions they couldn't even formulate.  The school I was in at that time was the one where family of those stationed at McGuire AFB attended.  Roughly 25% of my students.  Another group of students had parents who worked in NYC.  We went into immediate lockdown, tried to figure out how to get the kids back home again (the AFB was on high alert and no one could get on base without ID, and most of these kids had gotten lazy about carrying the ID).   

I went home to my wife around 5PM that night, after we finally got all the kids taken care of... and confessed to my wife my shame for having left the AF.  I felt that I had failed, and considered enlisting again at that time.  She talked me out of it.  At that moment, she told me my duty was to those teenagers and giving them the best education I could, to be there for them and help them through this with whatever they needed.  I think back on that time and wonder if I made the right call in not going back and enlisting.  I still don't know.

But, I have the utmost respect for those of you that did.

If you get the chance watch the national geographic 9/11 a day in America you can't get any closer to what happen then what they show. Want to talk about chilling and terrifying the places the camera puts you and the stories and sounds you hear just terrifying. I don't even know how to describe it. All those years watching these documentaries and I never thought I would see what they have

I wouldn't question yourself at all, the world changed that day.  It takes a village to raise a child bud.  While December June 7th, 1941 and Sept 11, 2001 are probably the darkest days in American history.   December June 8th and Sept 12 were the greatest days that defined us.  A lot of people made decisions on those days that brought us here today.  Canoeing heads is great and all for some, but doesn't detract from the massive need to keep normalcy afloat for 99% of the population.

Is that confirmed that Amazon will sell packages for each team? I live in Maine and would absolutely love to just get the Birds on there.

Not confirmed but rumors are they might sell it for individual  teams.

I haven't seen any rumors other then people in here hoping it happens

Somehow we’re getting Sunday ticket for free. Direct tv sent an email yesterday saying they’re giving it to us no cost for being loyal customers, I was surprised. Anyone else get this?

Thank you for your service.  

I was out of town in IL where we were organizing a new department, my first role as an executive.  I sat down to eat breakfast at the hotel we were to operate out of that week with a colleague from CA.  The TV was on one of the news channels and they were covering what they reported was a small plane, possibly a commuter plane had hit a tower.  As we are watching, a plane comes into view.  I comment that the pilot is going to be in a lot of trouble flying so low around those buildings.  Seconds later, the plane crashes into the other tower.  I was in shock and said, that wasn’t an accident.  My colleague commented that we must be under attack.  

That morning the group focused on getting home.  Trains were booked, flights all grounded to who knew when. Rent cars were scarfed up.  My colleague was from CA.  He and the rest of the CA contingent took a limo 100 miles to where they had arranged a rental.  Our group from Baltimore had one rental and I told the others to head home.  Our Dallas group headed out in their rental.  I called home and told them I was needed where I was.  I changed gears and went into our home office for the next days and helped coordinate our response (insurance claims) and touched base with a colleague from my office, also a remote home office executive, that also was out of town at the home office with me.  She was handling the logistics to relocate our staff from the office we had across the street from the towers. I spent a day contacting staff to make sure they were okay.  As a company, we lost four people in the Towers that day.  Some minor injuries from the collapse but otherwise we were blessed. By about 7 on Thursday she and I had done all we could do.  We headed home overnight.  I was driving her rental, don’t tell Hertz, as she finished a few things on her Blackberry. We stopped outside of Indy for gas and met a group of Midwest farmers in a rented minivan making their way home from DC where they had been lobbying.  At that point, I knew we as a nation were united and would come through this. Both of our groups were headed home.

We hit the airport in Baltimore around 8 am.  Hertz asked where we had rented the car and if we told them we were driving to Baltimore (duh, no, we couldn’t get through). They shrugged and accepted the car with no additional charges.  I remember traveling the next few months most rentals had out of state plates. We were also learning enhanced security procedures 

Both of us drove to the office in our cars retrieved from the airport to knock a few items out that had and did come up that morning. But I left early to be home when my wife and kids got home.  Not sure I ever hugged my wife  and kids more heartedly. 
 
We set up a company award named after the four we lost for those who gave of themselves in their communities. Soon we set up a board to track our fellow employees who were reservists and National Guard, who got called up and deployed. 

Everybody’s life changed that day.

I heard his album is really good, I listened to a snippet of Kendrick from one of the songs from the album. K Dot hasn’t lost his touch

Baby Keem killed it on Kanye's album.  First time I heard him was during those listening parties for Donda and when I was down in Atlanta for that 2nd listening party.  Then Family ties releases with Kendrick and that was amazing and I thought it was for Kendrick's new album.  But with The Melodic Blue dropping today I see that it was Keem's song.  But before today's release I went and DL'd his first album which was really good, especially Honest, France Freestyle and Orange Soda.  

There is no one else in any sort of artistic world that has had the better past several weeks than Baby Keem with his features and then this album.  Kanye dropped the album of the year but Baby Keem established himself as the biggest up and coming talented artist out there this year.
