So, we have a bunch of sliding glass doors in this unit, 8 I think.  One handle was loose and the screw was stripped, I thought.  Anyway, I get it apart (never done this before) and find it's broken inside.  I ordered a new door handle, they APPEAR to all be the same dimensions, I can't tell why they could be nonstandard, we'll see.

If this works and is easy, I may replace them all.  They are pretty crappy, probably 33 years old now, and ugly.

"A lot of people don't know this, but Peyton almost went to Michigan," Archie Manning said during an "Evening with Manning and Miles" at the Oakbourne Country Club in Lafayette, Louisiana, per Glenn Guilbeau of the Daily Advertiser. "He wanted to get away from the Southeastern Conference and carve his own."

I wonder if there was simply a discussion of hypotheticals at some point that wasn't all that serious.  "I wonder if I should go to maybe a B1G program like Michigan to get away from this SEC stuff?".

Manning would have blown out the Cougars in the Rose

Almost 90 murders in Chicago. In September, which still has one more night to go.

It's so bad, even the Bears are getting out.

Lots of teams move out to the burbs, just never thought Chicago would be one of them.  Soldier Field has always seemed so much a part of their identity.

It was, until the city f'd it up.

They played in Wrigley until 1971.

They should replace Soldier Field with a gigantic statue of Lori Lightfoot that just towers over the Sears Tower.
