What's the weather like where you are?

After an overnight low of two degrees, it has warmed up to five. The snow has move out of the area with around eight inches total accumulation give or take an inch. I haven't needed to drive anywhere which works just fine for me. My residential street is a mess but I suspect the major avenues have been cleared. They will remain slick with no chance of melting for a few days. One of the perks of being retired is to stay home and remain safe.

NFL 2O25

Today is the big day for the Conference Championship games. The AFL conference game will have the New England Patriots facing the Denver Broncos at Empire Field at Mile High, Denver. The game will air on CBS and a number of streaming service at 3:00 PM Eastern with NE favored by 3.5 - 4.5 points. The NFL conference game will see the Los Angeles Rams facing the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field, Seattle. The game will air on Fox Sports and streaming services at 6:30PM Eastern with Seattle favored by 2.5 points. Both games, according to the odds, are predicted to be close competitive games and should be fun to watch.

NCAA Men's Basketball 2026

Neither Kansas nor Wichita State are dominating their conferences. Both have respectable records and some quality wins. Both teams have been known to simply not show up for part or all of a game. Yesterday was a good day for both teams. KU beat their inner state rival KSU and WSU beat Memphis. It was a fun day with a lot of good college basketball on TV.

Fatalities - 2026

These fatality threads are usually meant for notable deaths, like celebrities, etc.

But I'm reeling at the moment and have to share the tragic deaths of two friends I know from theatre, Andrew and Stacia Stuart. They were young, in their 30s, and last Friday morning were walking in a crosswalk after dropping their children off at school when a careless teen driving a pickup mowed them down. Andrew died at the scene, and Stacia succumbed to her injuries earlier today.

RIP, Andrew and Stacia. You were taken far too soon, and the light you carried in this world was beautiful. You will be deeply missed by everyone who knew you. Condolences to your family, friends and loved ones, and may your children be well loved and cared for throughout their lives.

I am so sorry for your loss my deepest condolences, my heart breaks for the children praying that they will be watched over and care for

Failures

These are only fails if you're an effing porch pirate...

Forest Gump comes t' mind.
"Stupid is as stupid does" .....

"Click bait" is no longer relevant.
New term:
"Porch Bait" ???

Shall we rethink this idea? Perhaps with a slightly longer delayed, extremely loud ear piercing audible alarm, with a tracker? (Especially if said tracker sends telemetry and situational info to law enforcement.)

The Big C

Sad to hear but glad he has moved on to a better place.

FWIW, got a call early this morning from a long time friend who I do not keep in touch with like I should be doing.

Another of our group passed on last nite ... yup cancer. Awhile back they gave him 6 months and his time expired.
Same here, I do not reach out to my old classmates.. Sheesh talking about copying and pasting out from what you say online from this speech balloon to the next.
