let them know that surgeries are much cheaper in Mexico

Yeah I think the streaming limit for YTTV is 3.  I didn't actually know that until a couple weeks ago when I was trying to stream two TVs in the living room, one upstairs in the game room, and one outside by the pool.  One or the other kept kicking off when I added the 4th, and I didn't know what was happening until it occurred to me there could be a limit.

But if you're certain you're only running two at a time then that wouldn't be it.

Yep.  But at least she got the first half of the game, so that's something.  It only had problems starting at halftime.

Just so weird that I was able to watch our full game that way last week, and she was able to watch the first half of Texas this week, and then.....*poof!*

No.

MoFo's can't get good (government run - go figure) healthcare so when they come here, they clog up our hospitals and doctors with their surgeries and appointments.

Trust me. I've been here long enough to know all about it. The doctors acknowledge it too - particularly the specialists.

It's not just Florida, though it's probably worse there.

Dark enough in the morning now that I didn't see a pile of glass this morning under an overpass, which did some quick damage to my rear tire (bicycle, not car), delaying my trip to the office by about 15 minutes. Maybe I need to put a headlight on (will need to soon, in any case). Then the changing area in the gym was soaked in water--whomever had last taken a shower had done something to flood the changing area. Awesome.

The concert apparently was popular, though rain shortened.

The city here has ample money apparently and is tearing out sidewalks and replacing them in our vicinity.  The work started an hour ago, and is a bit noisy.  The sidewalks are in decent shape.  They are also replacing the curbs here, which also are in decent shape.  What is not in decent shape is the street's pavement, which I gather will be replaced eventually.  And, they will take a 4 lane one way street and convert it into a 2 lane street, with a bike lane, on which almost no bikes will travel.

What was mainly needed was to scrape off the old pavement and repave it, problem solved.  I really can't understand replacing the curbs.  Jack hammers are noisy.

They also have half replaced the concrete pavement connecting our parking lot to the street.  It also was in very good shape beforehand.  There are parts of the sidewalk that need work here and there because of tree roots, but they are redoing all of it.

The street used to be four lanes with two going each way before they one wayed it some time in the past.  So, it's four lanes wide, about to be two lanes wide.  I guess we don't have a traffic issue here.....

Gotta keep those workers busy somehow!

if that government $$$ isn't spent this year, next year's budget gets cut

Georgia, Clemson cancel future home-and-home football series - CBS Sports

Not surprised, Ohio State will be next.

UGA may never again play a regular season home and away series with an out of state opponent.

[FearlessF]

The University of Nebraska and the University of Notre Dame will meet on the gridiron for a home-and-home series in 2032 and 2033. It will mark the first matchups in more than three decades for two of the most-tradition rich programs in college football.

Nebraska will host Notre Dame at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln on Oct. 30, 2032, before the Huskers travel to South Bend for a matchup at Notre Dame Stadium on Oct. 29, 2033.

Rhule & the AD say it's a good idea because we're going to a 24-team playoff

[FearlessF]

they do not like the idea of a 24-team playoff, but they don't get what they like - it's inevitable
