Since the city has given up on draining off storm water, they have invested in curbs and surface concrete obstacles to make our flooding more entertaining to watch. Makes for good TV and YouTube videos when we get a typical thunderstorm.
So many great things. But it was awesome to see players who hustled back to the line with intense focus after every play, instead of posing and flexing and strutting over the play just completed.

When they started charging $18 for a Mitchell several years ago we quit going. Lot’s of good memories of going to the old one after leaving Murphy’s. Best hash browns.


The Mitchell now is $13. Just FYI.
Should have worn a hoodie like the car burglars do everywhere else.

Add stupid, arrogant, insincere and corrupt and that about rounds it out.

re: Best theme song for a TV show

Hawaii Five-O original is an amazing song. From the opening drum solo to the cool counter-melodies in the background that change with every verse.

Perry Mason theme is similar. Both songs make you want to rewind and listen repeatedly to catch all of the fills.

I get that they don't need it too often, but why not buy a window unit for the occasional heat wave?

They're like $300.


The infrastructure of European towns and buildings can't support air conditioning. Or clothes dryers, or decent plumbing.
How much of that 601 million was siphoned off at the start for administrative costs to feed the beast, and never reached the actual researchers? 50 percent??

Seafood is the same at every “unique” restaurant. Bread is tasteless.

Don’t go! The Italians can’t run shite right. All of the “quaint” sidewalk restaurants have the same menus and stacks of cold bland sandwiches that are either dry as a week old donut or slathered in funky condiments. It’s like a city-wide chain restaurant with different names for each location.
If you’re lucky, you might find a good slice of pizza.
Bathrooms are scarce and when you find one, it makes the old Fleur de Lis in Baton Rouge seem like a day spa.
Souvenir shops run by Palestinian refugees.
I could go on, but I hope you get the message.
Far enough out to give you time come to your senses and cancel the plans while they’re still refundable.

Never been to Africa. Italy sucks balls. Anyone who says it’s great is a pathetic pretentious prick.

Venice is terrible for limited mobility, nothing but cobblestones, stairs and bridges.
Florence doesn’t have the stairs and bridges, but the crowds and vehicle traffic squeezes into each other make it worse than Venice.
I was there yesterday and the crew running fiber in front of Buffalo Wild Wings knocked the traffic light off line. I’m sure they are the ones who took out the gas line today.

I don't understand why a show as great as this can't just focus on the hospital stuff and tone down the virtue/woke nonsense?


It’s not that great without the woke crap, but it’s at least different. But the ever-expanding wokeness now makes it unwatchable. Early roots of wokeness kept expanding to ruin M.A.S.H.’s comedy. All these year’s later, it’s so extreme that it ruins drama too.

Might make it by this Saturday. If not, looking forward to checking out the new location.
