Vanni has taken that job on for himself to allow his players the time and space to concentrate on their game. Absent him the club will need to make big changes if they don’t want to get lost and fall out of the media spotlight

Incredibly bad decision. Vanni has single-handedly kept the Whitecaps in the media while Axel and his crew have sat hidden from the media spotlight. Absent Vanni it is unclear how the Whitecaps will rise above the background noise in the busy Vancouver media world.

The Canucks can make mediocre teams look bad by playing really well off the puck. Good teams can defeat their approach but teams like the Senators will struggle and can look really bad.

This was taken moments ago. One of the raccoons arrived and frightened the two black squirrels who were feuding over which should be allowed to pilfer from my bird feeding station

It really depends on where you live. Current models indicate BC will get wetter with more overall precipitation but potentially longer dry seasons. This would be fine for large reservoir hydro.

His resignation was from this Congress. Since he was re-elected in the last election can’t he just go back to his seat in January?

How is this law problematic in the way described? It applies to a specific subset of criminal defendants so has no effect on the larger community

I’ve been avoiding the folks who blocked me over there. Trying to avoid conflict over here

So you are giving up on defense, speed and any capability against lefties for an OPS that is used to pinch hit every 3rd game and DH every fourth night? His inability to play on defense or hit lefties is far too limiting

Vogelbach was an intriguing sign in the winter but didn’t overwhelm in the spring and it seems time to give some younger players his playing time

He is 3 for 21 against righties, cannot hit lefties, is 31 years old with a career 0.219 average, no speed and doesn’t field. There are few unknowns.

Addison Barger is 24, was hitting 0.314 in the minors and can hit both lefties and righties in the minors while playing solid defense with a plus arm

Any clue how many more at bats the Jays will take away from young players to give to Vogelbach? He looks overmatched these days and those at bats could be put to better use.

I have spent decades socializing with teachers and hearing them discuss their profession and listening to their gripes, but I have never seen a group this close to breaking. One daughter has always wanted to be a teacher but for the first time I’m wondering if we should try to talk her out of it.

The old trope was that teachers had it easy with short work days and summers off, but the current reality is endless paperwork, overflowing classrooms with inadequate support and expectations that are ridiculous. Teachers are bring overwhelmed and need more resources at all levels
