What a career for Bob Uecker! Baseball, iconic beer pitchman, sitcom dad and more!

Hopefully he gets a front-row seat now

I am not one for flexing the military muscles but there is just something about the B2 flyover at the Rose Bowl

Following the example of @aaronburch.bsky.social and reading a short story per day. Figured I’d start with here.
