We went to The Winter Haven twice for spring training, maybe 1997 and 99? Something like that. The only food I remember was Beef-O-Brady being packed with Clevelanders

I tried Gemini instead of the assistant a year or so ago. "Navigate to Dad" used to be a simple thing looking at my contacts, Gemini searched the web for the concept of Dad as a place and came up with a sports bar two states away. Shut that off immediately.

Oh FL has that too? Ohio diverted a billion dollars last year towards parochial and charter schools, while the public schools start to wither. They want to wipe out property tax funding as well.

And as I write this I realized I'm wearing an Arsenal shirt at the gym and haven't seen an Arsenal match in a few years. So.

I'll wait for actual punishment rather than he's been demoted to a fancy mansion.

I guess it depends on if your teachers knew that you actually listened to the Doors. Back then I can't imagine people wearing a shirt if they didn't like that thing, though.

I still think it's folly to spread a startup league across the whole nation. Do, like, NY, BOS, PHI, BAL, or maybe CHI, DET, COL, IND, whip up some regional hate and save airfare and time differences. Any sport, not just baseball.

I like the apologists saying "But Truman gutted it too"... Okay, but did he just Thanos-snap it all or did he get the permits and plans approved and have it done properly?

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

You can tell someone isn't from around Cleveland when they pronounce the eastern suburb as "MenTOR", we pronounce it to rhyme with Jenner. There's also the Tuscarawas (river/street), which visitors struggle with but we pronounce "tusk"

Mentor, as well. Visitors pronounce it "men-TOR"

But! A package of ramen, (skip the flavor packet), 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, a pat of butter, some shaker parmesan and soy sauce to taste. Use some of the "pasta water" to loosen it up.

Unleaded 88 is always a little cheaper because it has more corn ethanol in it. You get a little worse gas mileage on it in exchange.
