Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

Either way, if somebody wins the championship this season, it will be tainted.

Ya,prolly better put the brakes on - at least for a season.Like ELA stated healthy college kids could handle any potential fall out - it's when they go home there could be problems

HA!I've never streamed before but might with all the commercials,can't bring myself to pony up for what use to be free though.So just might listen to the meandering creek behind my house bubble

There's something earthy about radio theses days. It's very live and less streamlined than stuff online.

But it also has a local feel. Like you have to know where you are and what the station right there is. There's something lovely about it, even if that tendency to cut out on any radio smaller than a car is infuriating. 

for the camera buffs..................

Menlo Park, Calif. — Crews at the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have taken the first 3,200-megapixel digital photos – the largest ever taken in a single shot – with an extraordinary array of imaging sensors that will become the heart and soul of the future camera of Vera C. Rubin Observatory.

The images are so large that it would take 378 4K ultra-high-definition TV screens to display one of them in full size, and their resolution is so high that you could see a golf ball from about 15 miles away. These and other properties will soon drive unprecedented astrophysical research.

Yikes!

Today is the first day that Orange County has been affected, as far as I can tell. It's certainly the first time I've seen my phone's weather conditions listed as "Smoke". But it's nothing like that. 

Good luck, SF.

The really weird thing is that the air quality isn't all that bad. It's been much worse recently (in the 150 AQI range; right now it's about 100).

Well, it's been the burning forests that have pushed the AQI really high, it's just this air color thing isn't the same as air quality. Weird, I know. It's smelled like a camp fire here for two+ weeks, and on the bad days (and there have been many--or, more accurately, hours--it shifts with wind patterns), it's like you're standing in the smoke plume of a camp fire.

So not to argue with you, but the forest fires have caused the AQI to spike. It's just that this is different. So strange.

Speaking of, in any other year, "murder hornets" would have been a big thing. I really don't think they're getting the fifteen minutes of fame that they are due.

I recall the "killer bee" panic, the fire ant panic, and there is some lizard thing encroaching south Georgia where DHS advised residents to shoot on site (which knowing south Georgia as I do would be a gladly heeded piece of advice).  Four foot lizard.
