Random Thoughts 18: The Year of Fire

Channel flipping, hit Iowa vs K State just in time to hear the announcer say "this is a couple of heavyweights going at it - this is as good as it gets in the first round of the NIT".
He said it without a smidgen of sarcasm in his voice. Oy.

Also, although the bottom eight rows appear to be full on the bench side (the only side I could see in the minute I watched), I noticed that the announcer IN Carver was echoing in the room, and there was less crowd noise than a high school gym.

Well doing some maintenance luckily my old stuff and can repair my new stuff it swaps over that will be quite the savings over time.

That announcer is none other than the Hawkeyes own Jess Settles.

They are not.

Opposite side from the benches, but apparently building security has not been allowing them to enjoy themselves.

Watching the news Mike Simonson spent $230,000 to win a city council seat in Des Moines! WTF??

We had some kid (like 22 years old) spend about $200k of his grandfather's money in his failed bid to be the Mayor of Omaha. Then the next election spent about the same to be the treasurer. If you looked at his ideas for treasurer it sounded like he was still planning on being the mayor.
He lost again.

Kroger coupons are all digital now. I just load them onto my account and I get the discount when I scan my card at the checkout.

It's funny how many vile comments they allow and flag something like this.

Reported.

That does seem a bit curious but maybe they are still suspicious of Jacob Kroger, the German Goldsmith that stole Anne of Denmark's jewels in the 1500s.
