It's #NationalBackyardDay
So, here's recent shots from my backyard. One of my new favorite spots.
At their trials for war crimes...
  • Trump will have a full diaper
  • Kash Patel will cry like a wide-eyed baby
  • Pete Hegseth will be drunk or high or both
  • Greg (Honey I Shrunk the Gestapo) Bovino will start singing the final verse of Short People

With Bo Nix under center, you go for it on fourth down. With Stiddy under center, you take the three points when they're there. Should be 10-0 Broncos

Al Roker starts his weather segment by telling people in the Northeast U.S. to not put away their shovels just yet because winter is hanging on.

It's January 13th. Come on Al.

Are there any questions about Texas Tech and the Big 12? I didn't think so.

Other than the playoff games, I'm starting to hate the College Bowl Season.
I'm a #SunDevils alum watching "them" play in the #SunBowl with 10 starters sitting out in addition to the injured players.
It's basically just a practice for next season.

Sitting at the bar at MSP and the bartender asked if I wanted another one, and I pulled a hardy "you betcha!" out of the archives.

I'm sitting at the bar at MCO on my way to Wisconsin so I can get some of this into my life.
Okay, the first part is true but the second part is false.

There are four professional sports teams that I root for this time of year, in order:
1-Broncos
2-Vikings
3-Wolves
4-Wild
Yesterday was a great day.

Except for all the other fuckery going on in the world, which makes it kind of hard to appreciate something minor like sports.

Who chose the font for the Army uniforms today?

Happy birthday to Joe Biden.
A decent guy who didn't arrest peaceful protesters, didn't murder boaters in the Caribbean, didn't normalize the Saudi butcher, didn't kick Americans off health insurance, and didn't regularly fly to Epstein Island (AFAIK).
His biggest sin was not knowing when to quit.

The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
of the big lake they called "Gitche Gumee."
The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead
when the skies of November turn gloomy.

sitting here at the brewery, enjoying a Pumpernickel Porter, and somehow thinking about decades ago getting out of the pickup with my buddy to "lock in the hubs."
Are there any four-wheel drive vehicles made today that require you to lock in the hubs?
