Baijiu (I believe that's pronounced bai-jYO) isn't all horrible.  My introduction into it also informed me that it has quite a range of aroma and intensity across brands.  The only constant is the mineral water appearance.  It definitely has complexity and a plum brandy type mouthfeel. 

In my view it's no more extreme or powerful as slivovitz or other eastern European plum brandies which are often. 110+ proof.  It's not what I want, and it's barely around the States I'm guessing.

Jim Harbaugh and the Michigan Wolverines will not be traveling abroad in what has become an annual spring trip because of fears over the coronavirus, the school said Monday.

"The football team will not be taking an international trip this spring due to health concerns around the world, most notably coronavirus," team spokesman Dave Ablauf told MLive.com in a text message. "[We're] looking at doing some community service in the Ann Arbor area."

I'm told that there are no plans for a replacement trip to Indianapolis in December as it has been deemed unrealistic. - Kevin Harrish, 11 Warriors.

Sure does, but plans often fail.

It hit 67°F here which was nice today.  A work crew outside nicked a main water line and our building is sans water and the street is flooded pretty badly.  This has been going on since 1 PM, still gushing.  They were replacing a sewer line to the restaurant below us.

I'm thinking CDawg doesn't have gas service in his building. I recall discussion about an induction cooktop.

Only 194 days to go now.

Today, Purdue officially begins its journey to that season opener at Nebraska on September 5. The Boilermakers open spring practice on Monday. It's the beginning of what, to an outside observer at least, looks like a crucial season for the long-term trajectory of the program.


You could say the same about Nebraska's 2020, which sets up a high-stakes opener the likes of which we haven't seen at Nebraska in quite some time.

You are correct.  We do somehow have gas water heaters on the roof I'm told.  Hot water is included in our HOA, along with water.  Our HOA is pretty reasonable I think considering it includes that plus cable and internet, 24 hour security, a pool and gym and common areas.  I was paying nearly $200 a month for internet and cable.

My last electric bill for heat etc. was $88, but we were out of town.  Our old house needed painting every 4 years or so, it had wood siding.  That was over $100 a month I don't pay now.  My property taxes are double but the price of the condo is double.

The induction range incidentally is superb IMHO.  I MUCH prefer it to gas.
