| Wild Card/Vacation Day 11 of 12
Only two more shopping days until I return to the final days of the City Council campaigns. Then, we'll have fun taking apart the campaigns. Any dirt yet? Any mudslinging. You know, the good stuff. Or is everyone behaving? My wife is now looking over my shoulder -- literally -- so I have to pretend that I'm just checking ball scores. See ya in two days. Here's Wild Card ... .
The eras of the NHL
It was not the beginning of elite professional hockey in North America, but it was the beginning of the rapid consolidation of talent into one premier league. It was a period of intense development. Expansion grew the league to 10 teams by 1927. Two competing, Western-based leagues failed and the talent came East. There was rapid development of rules and strategy throughout the 1920s. The principal evidence of frenetic change is that scoring plummeted from an average of nearly 10 to less than 3 goals per game over this era. Rule-making efforts to maintain offence could not keep pace with the development of the skills and strategy of goal prevention. The 1920s were, in a sense, much like today. The league was struggling with the rise of goal prevention.
View from the cop
They verbally agreed that Craig would help with the rent. After a short time, the place was a mess and Gregory suspected Craig was on a booze and/or drug bender. Shortly thereafter, he noticed $320 missing from his account and two cameras were missing. Craig's girlfriend, now in transition to ex-girlfriend, called and said Craig had taken his bank card. She offered to help set him up for arrest. Gregory said he doesn't know if he wants to prosecute. He wants Craig back in rehab. Clean out your car so you don't get cleaned out Someone stole the victim's car-charger for her phone while the car was parked for servicing. (When you leave a car for service, take everything you like out of it, especially if it's in for the night.) Don't forget to stash your GPS units, remembering they are VERY popular with our crooked friends right now.
