Hey ho, Go Cubs
Say this much for big league baseball - it is beyond question the greatest conversation piece ever invented in America. ~Bruce Catton
was it hot enough for you today?
"Truth hurts. Maybe not as much as jumping on a bicycle with the seat missing, but it hurts." - Leslie Nielson
Yeah, and it's been erratic too..hot, cold, hot, cold

Seriously
it’s still 100
"This next song... it's about the White Sox. It's called: F*** Em'." - Eddie Vedder
oops i lied
down to 92.
At 8:30 last night it was nearly 90, with a nice hot breeze coming from the north. By the time my softball game was over, my car was covered in ash from the now month-old fire burning in the San Gabriels.
"This next song... it's about the White Sox. It's called: F*** Em'." - Eddie Vedder
yea, I had ash on my car today from a fire in Ventura County, I think. sad.

sure does make for gorgeous sunsets though
oddly enough

What city do you live in PacCub?

on the border of Glendale and LA
Literally. My house is in Glendale, but my driveway is in Los Angeles.
"This next song... it's about the White Sox. It's called: F*** Em'." - Eddie Vedder
I'm in Santa Clarita, I can't even see the fire anymore from where I'm at.
Say this much for big league baseball - it is beyond question the greatest conversation piece ever invented in America. ~Bruce Catton
We're still getting ash blowing from the Station Fire
Nowhere near here anymore, but because of the LACK of wind during the fire itself, there is ash all over the hills. Winds started last night and launched the ash down here.
Saw there was a fire in Moorpark now… that’s no good
"This next song... it's about the White Sox. It's called: F*** Em'." - Eddie Vedder
my office is a 1/2 block off the beach and it was 72 degrees (Venice Beach).
I run to my lunch meeting that is 5 miles inland and it was 93 degrees.
"Truth hurts. Maybe not as much as jumping on a bicycle with the seat missing, but it hurts." - Leslie Nielson
Sounds familiar
I’m about a mile inland off Lake Michigan and it’ll be coolish here (67) and go run errands in Valpo (5 miles further inland) and it’ll be over 80.
Jerry’s been so distant lately and Lovie barely calls.- Just Dave
That
I don’t envy. I have moved to warm climates each time I have moved, with no intention of going back to any city that sees snow more than once every ten years.
I complain about the heat occasionally, but I’ll take it 10 times over something I have to shovel.
"This next song... it's about the White Sox. It's called: F*** Em'." - Eddie Vedder
hahaha
good luck with that.
Dodger Stadium is a hellhole, but I’ve never worn a coat to a game there ;)
"This next song... it's about the White Sox. It's called: F*** Em'." - Eddie Vedder
Yep, me too, and warming up your car and everything.
I’ll take the heat any day of the week against snow fall.

we have to plug our cars in
are you so far north in Alaska that you will have days with no sun?
"Truth hurts. Maybe not as much as jumping on a bicycle with the seat missing, but it hurts." - Leslie Nielson
December and January are pretty dark
The sun drags itself up to about a 40 degree angle by noon, blinks a bit at the day, then gives up the ghost. Total sunlight about 4 hours of dusk. I don’t mind the dark. Although right now without snow it gets bloody freaking dark. I’ve never experienced such darkness before. Once the snow comes it won’t be so inky, thank goodness.
Where do you live?

clutch16 with the assume JUMP once again!
Go Cubs!
Go Shark…surprise us. The bar has been set low.
"Truth hurts. Maybe not as much as jumping on a bicycle with the seat missing, but it hurts." - Leslie Nielson
yes, that's it.
Shark will surprise to the upside.

Go Cubs,
I’m not a religious man, but im praying that SpellCheck can keep it under 10 runs
"It doesn't matter what country someone's from, or what they look like, or the color of their skin. It doesn't matter what they smell like, or that they spell words slightly differently some would say more correctly. I'm a person. Bret's a person. You're a person. That person over there is a person. And each person deserves to be treated like a person. "
I have faith in that but question is
Can Shark, Heilman Stevens and Gregg keep it under 10 runs tonight.
"I am not ashamed to say I love Greg Maddux" - Jim Hendry

Just like at Wrigley, tell our outfielders not to reach in for the ball.

It would be kind of like
