Every WWF Pay Per View Main Event of 1998
Great video! I was aware of each of these main events back in the day. Alex was born in 10-1998.
The Special 38
Tonight, Karen and I are going to the Riverside Casino to see 38 Special in concert. Originally, we were going to be a part of a group of 4 going to the concert. However, Kathy [of Kathy and Mike] found out that she has to work late so she gave up her tickets and is not going tonight. We learned about that on Monday.
38 Special is a unique band for me. I don't own any of their albums and I know most of the tunes in the set list I found on setlist.fm, which I think is the sign of 38 Special being a really good band. I *think* I used to own a copy of the following album, which is a greatest hits, but as far as any studio albums? I don't think I've ever owned one of their albums.

Big Herc is Not Messing Around
I have considered buying this shirt and wearing it at a drumming gig. I think it'd be funny.
Interesting Thoughts about TS
Why would Tony Stark give the E.D.I.T.H. system to Peter Parker and not War Machine, Nick Fury, Captain America or Falcon?
Here's a picture of the Avengers as of Captain America: Civil War (plus Bucky).
Tony was still angry at everyone on the left, especially Cap. He felt that Thanos only won because Cap wasn't there when they needed him. He said so when the two met face to face. And he felt the others had made the wrong choice.
War Machine was under the control of the military. If he had been given E.D.I.T.H. to him, it would have been turned over to the government.
Stark didn't trust Fury.
Vision was dead, the Black Panther was head of a foreign government and the Black Widow had turned on him.
Spider-Man was the only one he felt he could trust.
But, he has to have made that bequest before the final battle with Thanos. He was hoping to survive and continue to mentor Peter.
Was it too much to trust to a teen-ager? Yes, but he'd already given Peter a spider-suit that could kill on command and was prepared to invite Peter into the Avengers. Either he saw that Peter could be trusted despite his youth or he had a major blind-spot about Peter.
— Edit and Spider-Man: No Way Home Spoiler—
Tony probably recognized that Peter is the sort of person who will do what's right regardless of personal cost. In Infinity War Peter insisted on going along into space with Iron Man to rescue Doctor Strange.
In Spider-Man: No way Home Peter proved that his moral center is better than Doctor Strange's. While Strange was willing to send five people back to their own timelines and almost certain doom, Peter insisted that they could be "fixed" first, even if it meant fighting Strange and risking his own life. This justified Stark's confidence in him, even if Tony wasn't there to see it.

Old Dog Meets a New Word and is Better for Expanding
Typically, when I see a mistake in someone else's writing, it is a typo or using "its" when the writer meant "it's" in their sentence. Such mistakes are also single offenders. However, this morning, on a Monday, I saw this article - The 25 worst cover songs of all time, ranked -- Artists like Madonna, Britney Spears, and David Bowie are among the big names who've turned beloved classics into mangled monstrosities -- By Stephen Thomas Erlewine--Published-Wednesday 8:00AM.Not only did I see a typo, but I also increased my vocabulary by one word. I used italics to indicate the error and bold to indicate the new word that I added to my vocabulary.:
Whatever the reason for the failings by these artists, there’s no disputing that the original songs remain beloved, which is why brutally bad updates can be so difficult to swallow. This list of the 25 worst cover songs, like our look at the 25 best cover songs of all time, doesn’t pretend be comprehensive. Still, as we surveyed the last five decades of pop and rock music, we’ve done our best to corral the truly awful covers and order them in a way that metes out some semblance of order, if not justice.
Notice that the Published date is "Wednesday" which I presume is 11-08-2023. Today is Monday, 11-13-2023, which means the following typos have existed for 5 days and either no one has informed the author. The first mistake is that "doesn't pretend be comprehensive" is missing the word "to" in the sentence. The sentence should be: "doesn't pretend to be comprehensive." The word I added to my vocabulary is mete, which I initially believed was a typo. However, mete is a word and this is the definition I found through the Internet:
to give out by measure : dole out. She realized the stern retribution which justice metes to the murderer.

I now feel like I have learned today - can I go home now? [GRIN]
I do not want to go home. I am re-linking shell Word files for the P4 applications in our CMDB in my RoboHelp 2015 project for the Disaster Recovery documentation. Yes, MRDR--Mister Disaster Recovery Documentation (tm) is still working with RoboHelp 2015, not RoboHelp 2022. Perhaps that would be worth a blog post to freeze this moment at work?
Close but LV is the team smoking cigars, not NYJ
I didn't see a single second of this game and I don't give a ___k about either team. I am a fan of close football games. I would have liked to have watched this game since it (apparently) was decided late in the game, which is aligned with the type of game I enjoy watching.
