little bit out of the price range. i doubt i'll be able to make it happen. would love it, though. a flat over a coffee shop would make me the happiest. 

That place had a coffee shop just down the street if I remember correctly. I wouldn't like living over a restaurant or coffee shop. Too many people and I'd be worried the place would burn down because of somebody not paying attention in the kitchen.

i think i go in the opposite direction of most. my ideal retirement is living in some old downtown area in a flat above some shop or something. 

life out in the country was just something i got real tired of. My kids actually miss some of living out there, which i understand. that was where they grew up for the most part. 40 acres with a 2.5 acre pond. it was beautiful, but also way too much (and too expensive) for me to keep up with. 

Back in my 20s, I lived in a flat over a Hallmark store in downtown West Jefferson for about five years. It was some of the best times of my life. The only difficulty was that right outside my bedroom window was the town's massive fire siren.

It was good that I was the local newspaper editor and had to go out and cover house fires and whatnot, because when that siren fired up, it would just about blow me out of my bed and into the next room. Deafened, I might as well get dressed, grab a camera and follow the fire trucks as they'd roll out.

I grew up in upstate NY just south of Lake Ontario and moved back to Western NY just north of Niagara Falls for a few years as an adult. As a late teen I saw plenty of snow living in WV and I've seen some pretty damn impressive lake effect snow storms in New York State.  Once in a while I get nostalgic for a big snow fall - like maybe on Xmas eve.  The rest of the time - no thanks.  Been there done that and at my age am done with it.  Its pretty to see, no doubt, but too much work and the other bs that goes with it uglies up the picture for me.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
