MLB: Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg Passes Away
I've never been a baseball guy, but I knew Ryne Sandberg growing up, largely because of WGN. I have some sort of limited edition card of his from the early 90's in a protective case. Almost certainly not worth what my childhood mind assumed it would be worth, but it was the only card I had...- HOTDON

DIY home improvement projects
Had a power outage situation about 15 years ago. Basement was soaked. Just stood there and watched helplessly trying to route water with towels. Mattresses and carpet sitting out in front yards up and down the block the next day. Neighbor gets home from vacation while I'm out on my garage... -
Malcolm Jamal-Warner, Theo from "The Cosby Show", passes away at 54
He had a fun character in Sneaky Pete as Giovanni Ribisi's parole officer. Bryan Cranston was an executive producer and had a small but excellent part in the first season. -
When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?
The California take rate vs the Iowa take rate for electrics is *giggles at pun* shocking. I haven't been out to LA for a couple years, but anything Iowans are currently learning about range, emergency response, resale, etc. California learned 5+ years ago. -
When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?
I'm a car guy. I just don't want to live with a BOF truck. The Maverick makes a little more sense for me, but it's still not what I want. They have, however, been quite a sales success. Certainly a chance that paid off for Ford. The Ranger is the artist who wasn't fully celebrated until... -
When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?
Agreed. Imagine if Ford had an electric Maverick that had the smaller form factor and thus a smaller battery and lower price point. Ford did a great thing by making the Lightning look like a regular F150. The Silverado has more or less followed suit. To get traditional truck buyers to... -
When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?
I'm considering upgrading from my 22 Stanley Steamer. It still gets close to 300 miles on a tank of water, but kerosene prices are completely out of control. On a serious note, a guy down the street got a W/T version of the Silverado EV. Lot of money just to get into the game. -
Pabst causing a record wiener drop
So, this team is owned by Bill Murray and 'Night Train' Veeck? This feels like a rabbit hole. -
What music are you listening to right now?
Rediscovered this recently. I remember the song, but never placed the voice of the other person. 20 years had no idea it was Bob Seger. I guess he was at the same studio working on an album and they invited him to guest, which he has only done a few times and always ended up regretting... -
Casey’s Sucks
Want to know what it's like to be completely invisible for 20 minutes? Try picking up the pizza you ordered at the time they said it would be ready.- HOTDON

May the Schwartz be with You
Me too. I was (probably too) young when I got hooked on Spaceballs and watched it a hundred times. Things like Prince Valium, 'What do we have in this thing? A Cuisinart?!' and 'I don't know, somewhere in the Ford Galaxy (Galaxie)' sailed over my head, but became great laughs when I went back... -
Friday OT #1 - Phoning Home
Surprised that Matt/Matthew wins my phone with 9 Mike/Michael in a close second with 8 Chad, John, Jason, and Tyler were all in the next tier. Same names are at the top, but this area is where you can spot the decade for everyone. -
What music are you listening to right now?
Thought it was a great song when it came out, but at 14 it didn't really resonate. As I get older it becomes more and more real. I don't know how Eddie projected himself into this perspective at an age where he hadn't experienced it. 'Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name' is... -
