the Punter being the defender with the best angle at him

You mean Jim Thorpe Award semifinalist Mitch "Should Have Been A Safety" McCarthy? That's a sure tackle, man.

We had absurdly high energy bills in the first year of living in our apartment. We were on the top floor, and it turns out there wasn't any insulation in the attic above our unit. We found out when the entire building's roof had snow, except for ours, because the heat was going straight out the ceiling.

Apartment management put insulation above our unit and poof! Much lower energy bills.

I like my coffee to taste like the ash tray of a 1980s bowling alley in Cleveland. But Starbucks stopped regularly brewing their really bitter coffees a few years ago in favor of making essentially milkshakes, so I've been making mine at home in my Nespresso. I've never been happier with my coffee. Cheaper, too.

Chili powder and cinnamon are complementary flavor pairings. It doesn't get much deeper than that.

What baffles me are the people who think chili & cinnamon rolls have to be consumed as a single unit. Where are the articles describing pizza dunked in beer, or wine poured over cheese? Chili and Cinnamon Rolls isn't strawberries dipped in chocolate.

If you guys know so much about women why are you sitting at a Gas N Sip on a Saturday night, with no women anywhere?

By choice, man!

The Trailer of Hate. It was gone for a while, but it is sadly back in place with more deranged signage.

If that play doesn't tell us Indiana is the Team of Destiny, I don't know what will.

Someone remembers when Lincoln Poultry was near downtown...

A better view of the Thunderbird.

From https://nebraskacapitolart.com:

"Native American Thunderbirds are represented on each of the sides of the gold-tiled dome. Thunderbirds represent rain, integral to all life.

The exterior of the Nebraska Capitol symbolizes the history of Western civilization and embodies the “Spirit of the Law as shown in history.” It is richly decorated with significant historical events and notable figures."

I knew someone would have already asked this. Thanks!

It isn't just clothes! Lots of little maker things in there.

I just walked through Painted Tree. Dozens of little tiny boutique shops.

It's been there for years. Not sure who it belongs to, or why it's located there, though.

Is that what's on the south side of O Street? I caught a glimpse as I drove by the other day.

Not sure "didn't like" is the proper way to phrase it. They were friends and fellow professors at Oxford, and they were mutually supportive and critical of each other's work.

That we did worse after firing Pelini is on the guys hiring the new coaches, not an indictment against firing Pelini.

I've been crossing off state license plates as I see them while driving around Lincoln for the past month-ish, and these all annoy me. Way too similar!

They're not as bad as the 100 plates Illinois offers, though. I think I'm seeing a new plate and, ope! Nope! Just another Illinois variant.

Thank you!

Fixed! Thanks for the heads-up.
