I typed that correctly. It's got to be one of the strangest stories ever. Each of the links are different parts of this strange tragedy.

Forgot it was on but caught Big Papi’s acceptance speech.

He spoke English and Spanish.  Who was surprised  ?

I guess Harold Reynolds was because he had to say,  David shouldn’t be ashamed to speak his native language.

WTF Harold, really?

General Discussion Forum / N.C. Black Chef Wins James Beard Award

I wrote about this restaurant some time ago

From Army cook to Best Chef in the Southeast:
 Saltbox Seafood's Moore shares credit for James Beard Award

Durham chef Ricky Moore of Saltbox Seafood said he has yet to sleep after being named Best Chef in the Southeast Monday night at the James Beard Foundation Awards.

Moore spoke to WRAL News from the airport, where he is making his way home from Chicago, site of the awards gala often referred as the "Oscars of Food."

"It was surreal," he said. "As a chef, as a restaurant person, as a chef-owner, as a chef-entrepreneur, these are the times. These are the peaks."

Moore, who was a semi-finalist for the honor in 2020, opened Saltbox Seafood on North Mangum Street in 2012 and closed that location in 2021. A second location followed at 2637 Durham-Chapel Hill Blvd. in 2017, and there a line stretched out the door Tuesday during lunch.

In his acceptance speech, Moore thanked his wife of 30 years, Norma, his children and his restaurant family.

"I have five of the most superior employees one could ever have, and they are all female," Moore said.

Apparently Will Smith took exception to something Chris Rock said either about or in reference to Jada
INTERRUPTED Rock by walking up on stage and looked like he slapped or punched him.

Walked back to his chair cussing and telling him something.  The sound was censored.

Politics / Move Three in the Russia-Ukraine Crisis

« on: February 22, 2022, 02:00:35 PM »

https://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-oped-beware-move-three-in-the-russia-ukraine-crisis-20220222-4amtmcmi3fc6vhudtavlvx7ntq-story.html

Chess is widely played in Russia....In move one, Russian troops roll overtly onto Ukrainian territory. Move two sees the U.S., NATO, the EU and the G-7 impose crippling economic sanctions. NATO also moves some forces east, closer to Russia. What then is Moscow’s drastic response? What is move three? The Putin government already knows.

 Russia will bring the war to our homeland.
