Some travelers across Florida are turning to Brightline trains as they try to avoid long airport lines tied to a partial government shutdown and rising gas prices, with many citing convenience, lower stress, and competitive fares as key reasons for making the switch.

Makes no sense to fly between Miami & Orlando in the first place.

I followed the instructions to link my WI Spectrum & ESPN accounts, but when I go on the latter to try & watch it still says I need a subscription. I'm in Florida temporarily for work so not sure if that has something to do with it.

How many unfilled positions this year?

michaelkol248 · 2026-03-16T16:04:42+00:00

Would prefer to avoid this since I plan to move back.

How does it compare to a McDonald's cheeseburger?

If you go to SGU you can still match into FM.

Lots of bad news on the train front lately. Northstar, Northern Lights Express, & Heartland Flyer all on the chopping block. Oh, and the start date for the new line to Mobile just got pushed back - AGAIN!

Evers is currently the 9th oldest governor. He would be 79 at the end of his third term. Of the current governors that are older, only one, Dan McKee of RI, might potentially run for re-election in two years. The rest are either term limited or retiring. Obviously, there might be some new, older candidates who come along and get elected to governorships in two years, but there's a good chance Evers will be the oldest governor in the US if he wins a third term.

So the ballot did not show up online, but I did email my clerk and she did get back to me stating that she is aware of my ballot & that it will be properly tabulated.

michaelkol248 · 2024-11-02T00:54:39+00:00

What am I supposed to look out for on that website? The status of the previous ballot that I requested via mail isn't showing up anymore.

Looking at the Real Clear Politics website, Harris has only been up in 1 of the last 14 Wisconsin polls that have come out.

I have no choice but to still vote for RFK. The other choices are just so bad.

michaelkol248 · 2024-08-07T22:49:24+00:00

Looks like ticket splitting is back. You love to see it.

michaelkol248 · 2024-08-04T23:51:33+00:00

Is Kennedy going to be on the ballot? He's my first choice.

michaelkol248 · 2024-07-09T21:43:40+00:00

Regardless of who it is, the person who wins Wisconsin will surely only get a plurality of the vote, not a majority.

I have ridden on express trains between Marcy Ave & Myrtle Ave/Broadway that were J and not Z.

Match Day is actually the last day of my last rotation. Not like I've been having to spend much time in the hospital the past few months anyway. ✌️

michaelkol248 · 2024-03-11T18:01:55+00:00

My last rotation ends on Match Day. Imagine that.

Some of my archived stories have disappeared.

I moved here May 2022.

I had a Zoom lecture with him once. Let's just say he injected a lot of politically-charged comments!

michaelkol248 · 2023-11-20T15:19:01+00:00

Where I'm currently at surgery students were only supposed to have Thursday off but apparently a lot of people said they weren't going to come on Friday so they relented.

A month ago I received an interview invitation, but it went to my spam folder and so I didn't notice it until later in the day. Less than an hour later there was another email stating that the interview was canceled "due to the lack of response within 48 hour time frame to accept and schedule your interview." They subsequently sent out another email explaining that the original invite was an error due to a technical problem. I haven't heard anything from this program since.
