I thought UTErin was pretty & attractive

[utee94]

Yup I miss UTerin hanging around.  I still interact with her occasionally on Facebok.

And it was 2007, my now 17-year-old daughter was a newborn, 3 or 4 weeks old at that point.

That’s too bad. Might’ve been one of the more underrated sport-changing coaches of all time.

That said, he’s probably earned it.

He's 81.

I sincerely hope they've got somebody other than Gronk lined up to take his place.

I heard Bradshaw might be on the chopping block as well.  I always liked him in the role, but at this point I get it.  He's been slipping for a few seasons now.  He's almost the Lee Corso of NFC on FOX.

Yesterday was quite rainy, and all of a sudden about 4 PM the power cut out. Didn't come back until sometime after midnight. 

My wife and I cooked on the stove as the [power] oven requires active power to be turned on and regulate temp, by flashlight. Miso cod, sauteed bok choy, and stir fried rice. Then just relaxed on the couch with our beer & wine and and the dog, reading our Kindles. 

It was actually kinda nice to not have any distractions.

Yesterday was quite rainy, and all of a sudden about 4 PM the power cut out. Didn't come back until sometime after midnight.

Last night, we have three very brief power outages, like a second or so, and then the power went out for 5 minutes, then returned, then did it again for 5 minutes, then returned.  Some of the neighborhood was out longer and the traffic signals had switched to flashing red.  Maybe someone hit a transformer, we don't have them very often.

A long widely spread outage in a major city would be bad.

Eh. Not as catastrophic as you'd think: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northeast_blackout_of_2003

[Cincydawg]

Catastrophic>> bad.

I always get a kick out of the people that just build a house out in the middle of the Arizona strip, where they have to haul out their own water, and they need to hook up a generator if they ever need to use electricity for any reason.

And Fearless knows his dirt.
