Bubic to the Dodgers.

We are now at the stage where the evil empire is collecting IL arms to stash.

I just finished The Library at Mount Char after seeing it suggested here. Seriously. What the hell? The most unhinged/amazing thing I've read in a while.

This is the only way it's successful IMO. If everything works out, we could be talking about Stormlight on the same level as Game of Thrones.

Should be some great games. Personally, I'd love to see a Central/Denham rematch in the quarters.

I'm planning a trip to go to the 3 National Parks in Washington during June of '26 for the family. Fly into SeaTac, head to Mt. Rainier, then Olympic, and finally North Cascades. It'll be around 8 days between all the parks, so we will have about 2 days minus driving at each park.

What are some things we can't miss? Ideally we would have more time, but with the time we have, should we prioritize some things? I've traveled to Seattle, then down the Colombia River before, but I need all the pro tips I can get for the National Park scene.

What a bunch of miserable people in this thread. It's a game 7 to go to the World Series for the first time in franchise history. There's no such thing as unwritten rules that must be followed. Put the pressure on the umpires to get the call right.

Exactly. Dude can be a puss and trail out the line and watch the double play, or give something weird a try. And it almost worked.

Went on a Princess Alaskan cruise years ago. Best investment we ever made.

Don't waste your time on whale watching. The excursions often overbook, and it isn't worth it to see the back of one whale for a split second.

If you haven't gotten it, I would highly recommend a balcony room. Waking up, cruising next to the coastline, watching mountains that dart up is truly unlike anything else.

Our favorite excursion was driving into the Yukon Territory. I don't remember all the details, but we got in a van and just drove through the mountains, and ended up in a small brewery where we ate some grilled chicken and drank some local brews. It was amazing.

Pro tip: After the cruise, we spent a week driving down the Columbia River. It was almost as good as the cruise. Multnomah Falls is gorgeous.

I have my subscription for 1 credit per month on Audible, but will mostly use Libby. I go through a good bit of audiobooks, and I only use my monthly credit for books that have ridiculous wait times in Libby. That doesn't happen often, though, and I'm usually able to hoard those credits. Libby is real nice.

Reed Timmer has the drone out.

We haven't won our first football game in 6 years. I think they may have it there.
