Forgot to post my NCAA gym bracket. My hot take is that Alabama home scoring will push Cal out of nationals.

We got Junebug this "K9 N95" with the fires in Jersey and fortunately brought it on the road trip. She does not like it.

I'm perplexed by the regional boundaries of SMU DataArts' vibrancy index.

Cambridge-Newton-Framingham is distinct from Boston?

Twin Cities-Bloomington is considered part of Wisc.'s audience?

VA suburbs of DC are part of MD audiences, but separate from Frederick-Gaithersburg-Rockville?
