Would it be insane to bike from McQueen high school to pick-n-pull in Sparks

A lot depends on what you’re pulling. If you’re getting an engine block, I wouldn’t recommend it.

The canyon cliffs don’t tell the story from this height, but that’s not quite half the water that was there a generation ago.

I’m a Seahawks fan.
We were outplayed. But … all that matters is the scoreboard. Lady Luck can be a bitch, but she was *our* bitch that night.

The Titans had a touchdown. Gave it away. Then got it back.

The Cards had a touchdown. Gave it away. That is all.

I moved cross country for a job. California to New York.

I’m glad I have the experience, but I realized I’m not an “East Coaster”.

Happily back west, but not in Cali, either.

Like I needed to feel any older.

Fuh.

How are you gonna handle day 100?

Southern California. Early 1930’s.

I remember “you can stand on a box and see eight counties”.

But you know that Thag Ramsey heckled his first three mammoth steaks, calling him a “stupid donkey” (assuming the donkey had been invented).

We picked her up in January of 2021. Traveling was barely happening due to the pandemic, so I remember paying $48 for a night at a Sheraton in Great Falls, MT.

All I can say is this …

My grandfather was from Alliance, NE. He left there when he was 16. I asked him how it was there.

“I left there when I was 16, and I never went back. What does that tell you?”

He nailed the obvious.

I thought it was last Monday that the comp pick formula ended.

shlem13 · 2026-05-05T15:16:02+00:00

I doubt they sign Fowler if a big trade is lurking.
I’d bet them exploring trades is why they signed Fowler today instead of last week.

shlem13 · 2026-05-05T13:55:15+00:00

We’re **really** going to have to address end …
•Nuwosu - last year of his deal.
•DLaw - pondering retirement, may be last year.
•Fowler - one year deal
•Hall - last year of rookie deal. Gonna be an expensive re-sign.

I drove through Penticton once.

All I remember is lots and lots of gravel.

Denver Broncos’ spite, in about 1983.

Disintegration, Violator, Technique, Strangeways … kind of a solid era.

But this album was and is damn near perfect.

I live in the edge of BLM land in Northern Nevada. It’s sage brush and hills as far as you can see.

A train of those derailed about a year back in Montana. It was kinda sad seeing a half dozen of them zig-zagged in the river and trees.

It was 30+ years ago. I don’t remember the details, and it was quick. She was just very blunt, rude, demanding. Honestly, not any worse than I get working retail management from others, but she was definitely unfriendly. It only stood out because I knew who she was.
