I know it's a long shot, but is anyone considering participating in National Novel Writing Month? Short version of what it is, you make a commitment to yourself to write a 50,000 word "novel" during the month of November. It sounds like a lot, but it only comes to about 1700 words/day. It's...
Two people were shot at last night's White Sox game. May be an isolated incident, but still, it would make reconsider attending a game there (if I was ever to consider it in the first place). When I lived in the suburbs and in Hambone, I'd go to 10-15 games a year, park off-site in pretty...
Horrible air quality here in NE Indiana. Can't those Hoseheads dump some water on their fires? Anyway, all day my eyes have the mist from the smoke of a distant fire.
I used to be a fan of the PGA Tour. Still a fan of The Babylon Bee.

Another potential contender, Tim Scott, has launched a presidential "exploratory committee". I'm intrigued. What's the over/under as to how long Trump and/or his acolytes come up with a hilarious nickname for him...
I'm in the very early stages of shopping for a compact SUV. My 1st criterion is that the one I buy has to be fun (read: reasonably quick). I pretty much had things narrowed down to the Mazda CX-30, it's 2 slightly larger siblings, theCX-5 and CX-50, and the new Dodge Hornet.
But down the...

I'm putting up my Ping G425 Max driver for sale. Even after getting a brand new hip installed, my swing speed has dropped significantly since last year. This time last year, I was averaging 92 MPH with the 425 Max driver with the stock stiff flex shaft, occasionally touching 94. This...
I'm glad we have cold and snow. Now that the word is out about The Fort, I'd hate for a wave of Californicators bringing high taxes and street poop.
Sorry for the pay wall...
Bobby Hull, my very first sports hero, has passed away at the age of 84. It's sad to read of his horrible off-ice issues in his bio; I'm glad that I was able to live with my head in the sand in those days.
Time to thin this herd. For sale:
$300 $250 OBO for the set:
Wilson Staff D7 Driver. Mamiya Helium Shaft, stiff flex, 59 grams. I had the shaft shortened by 1/2" (now 45.25"), and put on a Jumbo Max medium grip. 9 degree loft.
Wilson Staff D7 3-Wood. Mamiya Helium Shaft, Stiff flex...
I suppose that all Amazon customers received the email that I did, the Amazon Smile program is being discontinued next month. For those unfamiliar with it, Amazon has a list of eligible charities, any one which you can choose, and Amazon made a donation equal to 0.5% of your purchases to that...
OK, I heard this mentioned in passing on the local news, but missed the details. So I looked it up, and found Indiana Senate Bill 90, Property Tax Freeze for Seniors. I read it, or tried to, and other than one needs to be at least 65 and have had a Homestead interest in the property for at...
I can't decide what is the bigger story: classified documents from Biden's time as VP were discovered (last fall), or that it was the top story on the NBC evening News. Also, why are we just hearing about this now...
I'm sad to hear that Christine McVie (nee Christine Perfect) died today at the age of 79. Hers was the best of the 3 voices in the pop version of Fleetwood Mac IMO, and another of my favorite voices of the 70s to go this year (Olivia Newton John). :(

Interesting if convoluted article in Breitbart concerning the upcoming Speaker of the House vote. There is concern that a block of...
