Play only in your league and have 2x the competition. Or merge the AL and NL

MLB β€œbalanced” schedule where each team plays every other team is a disaster in my opinion. Teams in the same league might not play one another until September or only play each other in April. Injuries have a larger impact. Bring back the days where NL and AL don’t play until the fall.

#MLB #Cubs #Padres while watching the Cubs beat the Padres today on ESPN we observed that one TV was about 5 minutes ahead of another in our house. A relative who lives 1000 miles was 1 minute ahead mine and friends who live 2000 miles west were also offset watching the same game. What’s up???

"E-moto" - it's good to get some clarity on what these things are called. Let's work to make "e-moto" universally understood as distinct from regular "e-bikes".

now is the time for every media personality to stand up and speak out, because what this shows is that nothing will save you

they’re coming for all of you, unless you’re a true believer your days are numbered and your bosses are eager to comply

do something you can be proud of on your way out

I have now posted over 100 owl pictures since July 2, 2025. They have been so fun to photograph. I know who mom, dad and their one almost completely grown child are. So amazing!

Bees and butterflies…
Flapping wings to say hello
Sharing flowers as they go
Bringing hope to all who sigh
Finding peace in a #sapphire sky

The hibiscus pistil has five red, "hairy" spots at its tip, which make up the stigma, where pollen is collected.

Two great horned owls perch on a fence at dusk in Longmont, Colorado.

I am still on the fence, pun intended, whether they are mother and child or two owlet siblings.

Yes!! Even right wing John Bircher Barry Goldwater had the sense to tell Nixon his time was up. Where are those Republicants today (spelling intentional)

NO! NO! NO! Chicago Cubs player Ryne Sandberg has passed away from prostate cancer. He was 65. I am now dealing with this dreadful disease. I have tears in my eyes! I will talk about him in my next podcast episode on Vanished Chicagoland Stories tomorrow! #rynesandberg #riprynesandberg
