You know what was great? Coming back home from a trip in the car and tuning into Sports or Consequences just as you get back in range of 700 on your AM dial.

RIP Gary Burbank. A Cincinnati radio legend.

Also good, B.B. King's appearance on Sanford and Son. "The poor man's going blind." youtu.be/he9xUvvLwx8?...

YouTube video by Series Freak Kenny sings with BB King - The Cosby Show

Kenny singing the blues with B.B. King on the Cosby Show was good tv. That was my favorite show when I was a kid. It still bums me out about Bill Cosby. youtu.be/MzgIQvS3A6Q?...

Bad news. VCR wanted to eat the tape.

VHS with a label that says "Reds 1990 World Series Celebration."

Might hook up the VCR later.

I still miss WNKU.

What's a Bip Roberts rookie card worth these days?

That didn't happen, but I wish it would.

Went to Tous les Jours and ran into Adam Rosales.

LINQPad is one of my favorite tools. It's so good.

I've never eaten one. I've also never been in a patch of them, let alone picked any up and put them in a basket.

Have you ever eaten a pawpaw?

I had never heard of that brand. It doesn't look like they make them anymore?

When you think of your childhood, what food comes to mind?

I've shared that link a number of times, sorry for the repeat. If you've got a story to share about your grandparents, I'd love to hear it.

We stopped by the Little White House in Warm Springs, GA. It had me wishing we would have taken my grandad there. I'm not sure if he would have gone, but I would have loved to hear the stories from when he was there in 1945. I wrote about my grandparents here - poorhoratio.com/posts/grandm...

When I have a good one and I pass someone pushing one making all kinds of noise, "I see you have my normal cart."

100 wins. I'm feeling overly optimistic. #RedsWinsProjection2025

What's the last really good book you read?

The backwards compatibility of Windows is amazing. I think about it a lot.

Did anyone attack the rim like Wilkins? His highlights are the best there are.

I still think a hair metal band that sings about statistics called Poisson is a good idea.

StoryGraph is pretty good too, though I've mostly still been using Goodreads.

RIP Garth.

What's next?

If anyone sees or talks to Chris Sabo today, please tell him I said happy birthday.

This story from The Moth has to be one of my favorites. Though I was too young to remember it, I'm still angry about the 1981 baseball season.

I...hadn't considered that.
