Trading that for humidity,heat,hurricanes but to each his own.Worst case scenario 94 will welcome you with open arms - plenty of room I've often heard him regale
Way too much, this house is ridiculous.  During the summer we even shut down the West Wing since it gets so hot in the afternoon and we don't need it anyway.

Predicted high of 94°F here tomorrow, which will equal our high for the year, and then a marked slide down into the 80s and even 70s next week, almost football weather.

Darn.

The new neighbors who seem to have had friends over every night of every weekend since COVID started are Raiders fans.

As insufferable as Notre Dame fans are, I'd rather have elitist snobs next door than the sort of people who revel in their support of piracy.
I said ND/UM fans, not alums.

The guy who lives next to me is a Notre Dame fan; the guy across the street, Michigan.

So...could be better

I moved into my house 2 years ago.  House is still full of boxes, it is the second day of the move. I pull out of my driveway to go to the hardware store and the guy across the street had put up a Michigan flag for game day.  I immediately pull back into my driveway and start going to through boxes. after a couple of boxes I found it. I went out and put up my flag pole with my Ohio state flag. While I am still hanging it, I hear "Oh no you don't"  Here is my neighbor coming across the street.

We had a good laugh, talk a bit. Turns out we are both graduates of our respective universities. Unusual with lots of college fandom. 

When Ohio state beat Michigan that year. We went down as a group (we had a game party) and brought him a plate of Peanut Butter buckeyes. 

For a Michigan fan, he is ok. :93:

For my first job after undergrad college, I traveled about 80% of the time.  And when I traveled, I'd often be gone for 3-4 months at a time.  So for almost 4 years, between the ages of 22 and 26, I lived in hotels, with meals on the corporate expense account.  I can certainly agree, it's pretty great.


I did this as well.  Didn't need an apartment or house, just landed at my Father's basement when back in the area for corporate a few days a month.

I think I could do it again.

Obviously I live amongst Hawkeyes and Cyclones

Cyclones are good people

Hawkeyes, not as much.  Of course it doesn't help that the Hawkeyes have been beating the Huskers since before Pelini was booted.

It's all in good clean fun.  I raise the RED flag every game Saturday.

Not sure what I'll do this season........... might have to raise the flay this Saturday in honor of the game vs Purdue that was previously scheduled

"I propose that we as a city remove the name boneless wings from our menus and from our hearts," Ander Christensen said in a satirical speech during the public comment portion of Monday's Lincoln City Council meeting. Christensen is Councilman Roy Christensen's son.

The food called boneless chicken wings don't actually come from the wing of a chicken, Christensen said. "Our children are raised being afraid of having bones attached to their meat. That's where meat comes from. It grows on bones."

In sum: "We've been living a lie for far too long."

Christensen's rant was making the rounds of TMZ, NBC, Yahoo, Newsweek and Fox News.

I'm still trying to scour pictures of buffalo and figure out where they have those tiny wings. 

What evolutionary process would cause buffalo to have wings too small to carry them aloft?

With an empty nest, for sure.

No way I could travel like that right now, I'd miss all the soccer games, band concerts, etc.  Not worth it 'tall.

But as a single 20-something?  It was a'ight.

I'm going to steer him towards helping me with the egg lobby.  He will be a good ally.

The same process which gave us T-Rexes with tiny arms....the buffalo (biZon) would have had to begun as much smaller animals, with larger wings capable of flight.  
But that flight would not have been an advantage, so over time, the wings would shrink as the body enlarged.

Obviously.  :88:
