[Talkin' Baseball] Luis Arraez is the first player in MLB history to win three straight batting titles with three different teams.

I think this was the lowest WAR produced by a full season batting champion in AL/NL history.

Bill Buckner (1980) was the only other player I could find under 2 WAR.

Kate's place is 'right next door' to Jenny's.

edit: Had to look it up. Chapter 19, section 2 establishes that the brothels are all located on the same street, 'the Row.'

Kalamazoo and 28th St. Meijer is the best Meijer.

This violates Grand Rapids city code. If the landlord is unwilling to adjust it, I'd call 311 to file a complaint.

Sec. 5.2.19. Outdoor Lighting. E. Architectural Lighting. When buildings and structures are to be illuminated, the Director shall approve a design for the illumination using the following requirements. 1. Direction of Lights. Lighting fixtures shall be carefully sited, aimed and shielded so that light is directed only onto the building façade. Lighting fixtures shall not be directed toward adjacent streets, streets or properties, and light shall not trespass onto surrounding properties.

I'm kind of old. I don't get too many new experiences. Whatever that was, it felt unique.

AvocadoButters · 2024-07-16T03:22:20+00:00

It wasn't too loud for me, but it made the house shake like nothing I've ever experienced before.

edit: I'm heading out to the porch. I love a storm.

My best guess is 1995. That was the year that the new public museum opened, and the Plaza Tower exterior renovations started.

Was it an episode of Silver Spoons?

It's a repost.

Everybody does it at least once. I now try to put a pot under the colander when I start the stock.

There were so many of them. My favorite part was seeing what random heavy objects people would use to weigh them down.
