I wonder if we will see Joey Danforth die?

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/bobby-whitlock-derek-and-the-dominos-founder-dies/ Bobby Whitlock, the musician who co-founded Derek and the Dominos with Eric Clapton, has died, according to his manager. He was 77. Whitlock died Sunday morning of cancer, manager Carol Kaye confirmed to CBS News. He was surrounded by his family in Texas, Kaye said. The singer-songwriter was a keyboard player and vocalist for Derek and the Domino, the rock band best known for its 1971 album, "Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs." In a statement to CBS News, Whitlock's wife, Coco Carmel Whitlock, said, "How do you express in but a few words the grandness of one man who came from abject poverty in the south to heights unimagined in such a short time?" "As he would always say: 'Life is what you make it, so take it and make it beautiful.' And he did," her statement read. She added, "Farewell my Love, I'll see you in my dreams." Aside from his wife, Whitlock is survived by three children: Ashley Faye Brown, Beau Elijah Whitlock and Tim Whitlock Kelly. In a statement posted to social media, Clapton said, "Our dear friend Bobby Whitlock, has passed away at 77, our sincere condolences to Bobby's wife CoCo and his family on this sad day.... RIP Bobby xxx." Filmmaker and Whitlock's longtime friend, John Fusco, remembered the artist as a major influence, a rock 'n' roll legend and a storyteller. On the iconic "Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs" album, Clapton and Whitlock co-wrote the majority of the songs, including "Tell the Truth," "Bell Bottom Blues," and "Why Does Love Got to be So Sad?" In his later years, Whitlock got into painting and "became a prolific artist," Fusco wrote on social media. "I will be forever honored that he painted an original work for me as the cover art of my 'John the Revelator' CD." In 2022, Whitlock's paintings were on display in an exhibit at the Crockett County Museum in Ozona, Texas. Over the past five years, Coco Carmel Whitlock uploaded videos of her husband to YouTube, many of which feature his artwork in the background as they engage in conversations — often about music and their lives.

https://bloody-disgusting.com/movie/3892970/rob-zombies-the-devils-rejects-returning-to-theaters-for-20th-anniversary-in-october/ Rob Zombie’s psychotic masterpiece The Devil’s Rejects is returning to theaters nationwide for the film’s 20th anniversary, Bloody Disgusting has learned this afternoon. Screening in 4K for the first time, Rob Zombie’s blood-soaked cult classic is presented in theaters by Fathom Entertainment, the leading specialty distributor of content to theatrical partners worldwide, and Lionsgate. The second installment in Zombie’s infamous Firefly trilogy will screen for two nights only — Monday, October 6 and Wednesday, October 8! Each screening includes an exclusive new introduction created by Rob Zombie, reflecting on the legacy and impact of The Devil’s Rejects. Picking up where House of 1000 Corpses left off, The Devil’s Rejects begins with revenge-crazed Sheriff Wydell and his men surrounding the Fireflys’ homestead, guns blazing — but when the smoke clears, Otis and his sister, Baby, have managed to escape. Taking refuge — and hostages — in a back-road motel, the most-wanted siblings rendezvous with their deranged partner in crime, Captain Spaulding, killing whoever happens to stand in their way. But as the body count mounts higher, Sheriff Wydell decides to “cross the line” and take the law into his own hands, paving the way for one of the most terrifying, mayhem-filled showdowns in cinematic history. Starring Sheri Moon Zombie, Bill Moseley, Sid Haig, William Forsythe, and Leslie Easterbrook, The Devil’s Rejects is a visceral descent into outlaw horror that has earned its place as a genre-defining cult favorite. Tickets for The Devil’s Rejects 20th Anniversary will be available on August 22 at Fathom Entertainment and participating theatre box offices (theatre locations are subject to change).

I was debating as well and then decided to post it, because there might be one person that cared... Even seafoam has to like something other than just being negative 24/7...

Was it highway driving or city driving…. If it was highway driving, having the windows down going at a higher rate of speed gives you worse fuel consumption…

Makes sense…

Congrats to her... https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/45914473/jen-pawol-set-become-1st-woman-umpire-mlb-game-saturday NEW YORK -- Jen Pawol is set to become the first woman to umpire a game in Major League Baseball when she works games this weekend between the Miami Marlins and Atlanta Braves. Pawol will work the bases in Saturday's doubleheader at Truist Park and the plate Sunday, MLB said Wednesday. Pawol, a 48-year-old from New Jersey, worked spring training games in 2024 and this year. MLB's move comes 28 years after the gender barrier for game officials was broken in the NBA, 10 years after it ended the NFL and three years after the men's soccer World Cup employed a female referee.

Voting deadline - 1pm ET today...

Round 1 is complete, and 45 states remain. The following states were eliminated: Massachusetts (Group A) New York (Group B.) New Jersey (Group C) Rhode Island (Group D) California (Group E) Round 2 will be a DOUBLE ELIMINATION round. The two states that receive the highest number of votes in this round will be removed from the "island." There are no specific criteria for voting—please use your own judgment. Although two states will be eliminated, each participant may cast only one vote. While multiple votes could be allowed, doing so might encourage participants to vote for every option (I would!), which would undermine the process. In the event of a tie, I will select which state is eliminated, as I will not be participating in the initial voting round.

Waiting to see her grade... Yeah it looks like she might have missed the first pitch, but I would guess she would have been extremely nervous...

I don't know if this will take off and be entertaining (I doubt it, but one can hope), but this is a very simple process... In each group, vote for the state that you want to get rid of... When the voting deadline is reached (a couple of days, maybe?), the state with most votes in the group will be eliminated... If there is a tie, I get to choose the one that gets sent home... I will not be voting in the initial process... This will proceed for a while, until the winning US State is crowned... Unless I get bored with it and take a break from it... Enjoy, and if you don't like it, go screw yourself... Groups D/E link: https://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/topic/527659-us-state-survivor-groups-de/ Poll Deadline: August 7 at 2pm ET...
