Pete died.
He talked much about the end being near and then came radio silence.

Tex dropped off the map suddenly as well.

Then theres unknown. Seems to outdid himself, painted himself into a whack job corner concerning vaccines. I for one am not shedding a tear.

Im sure he's still lurking about. One day, hr'll return under some made up moniker. He attempted to do so half dozen times the past year or so.

My favorite nickname around here, altho he was only active for a year or so back in the beginning- "Weasel". It still makes me smile. It conjures an image in my mind of a loony tunes? character that was a weasel. That character was wild eyed & nervous. Acting always with crazy energy & fistracted then transfixed upon anything that crossed his path. Lol- just like a fanatical fan of whatever team. "Weasel" so appropriate for the moniker on a early days internet message board!

Socal viking was in some of those leagues.
Tex, Azpacker who i think may have also passed.
Wolfpack maybe played a season or 2?
2 business acquaintances played one season. Brian the eagles fan. Rich the 49ers fan. I think it was rich that won it that year? They were both pissed off at me bc 2 players stiffed on the $10 entry fee. Both packer fans I think? Its a long time ago. And if youre paying attention lately. I mentioned i couldnt recall the vikings record last season. Was it 13-4 or 14-3. My mind is full of "in the moment" confusion on such stuff.
Back in 2013, i went through some testing to try and find what could be done for this issue that arrived almost overnight after the sepsis/ chemo period I had in 2011. It showed me one thing. Doctoring and psychiatry know bupkis about the human brain. Their answer was it was ptsd and it might go away over time. The opposite has actually occured. I think its some type of dementia brought forth via brain damage- flat lining for 4+ minutes.

Meh- it is what it is. I'll cry myself a river some day, lol.

In the end- im just happy bonkers and the rest of all ya'll are still above ground stealing my oxygen😆
