iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

(And I can't get all worked up about the Dodgers spending a ton of money, since that was supposed to be us and all...)

'96-'01 were my prime baseball years, so ATL will always be the biggest NL rival for me. For LA, the '88 series was years too early for me, and we've beaten them more than they've beaten us in the playoffs since. Of course no love for the Yanks either.

You're welcome. Now, I perhaps might be a little extra pessimistic because I'm sitting in an oven, but really, is there any team that's feels trustworthy so far?

There's three 4-0 teams in the NFL. The 49ers have 49 guys on IR. The Vikings could only put up 15 on the 0-17 Dolphins at home. And the Chefs are currently trying to sign a washed Tyreek Hill. Every other team is looking up at those losers. Every team is awful.

That sensor's on my patio, in direct sunlight for most of the afternoon. It's "only" 103º really, and slightly more humid, though it is still a dry heat. And the hottest by a couple degrees over my previous hottest day here, which was... yesterday, which was the hottest by a couple degrees.

I think a lot of people came over when Elon went Hail Hydra and didn't really give it much of a chance before deciding it didn't really bother them that much and going back. That said, some big names have stuck around. Mina's here. Sarah Langs for baseball stats. CJ Fogler has your highlights.
