Very good point about Arcane… it was like I skipped a season but nope there’s only two and I watched both of them. Very odd going trying to figure out what the hell with season 2.

Mary Ours caught something really cool on her way in to work as she caught the moon ‘occulting’ or covering the planet Jupiter. How cool! You can still catch the planet ‘pulling away’ from the moon through sunrise.

Not to mention the epic stretch that going to a pro sports game by itself showed you were meeting with someone who just happens to live in the state. The odd pride he had in getting his gotcha… turning into anger after being embarrassed and laughed at. Wild.

Fun little factoid… they use to call trickle down theory use to be called the horse and sparrow theory. You feed the (rich) horses well and us normal people would eat better from what comes out of the horse… 💩 for some reason that name didn’t stick. 🤪

I have a lot of Ross stories. Here's one of them: KDKA-TV's newsroom is in Downtown Pittsburgh, on a plaza with a little park. A few years back, several of us were watching through the windows as a gentleman exhibited some concerning drug-induced behavior, until the point when he was slumped over

Michigan is purple blue so no surprise there imo. Kansas is red and maybe starting to trend to the more purple side… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. That would be a shocker.

My concern is it’s going to be difficult for one congress to clean up this mess. High gas will be in place through at least the winter best case scenario. Government is spending cash like we are at a surplus and saying that we are in a surplus out loud. AI bubble 🫧 not real growth. 😟

The Steelers issue lately has been being too willing to pay everyone and not take a pick and the salary cap space to get younger and more talented through trade.

Going earliest will be best. I’m going to really dig into the chances 1st thing tomorrow and work on timing. To me data pointed to Sunday being the best chance for storms before today, but models are pointing to Saturday late afternoon being the highest chance.
