it's the "cult of the apprentice" for a lot, and for others just people who do not want to exit the world they once knew and enter the world as it is currently.

Too bad I can't make it that day. But if others in my followers list plan to attend, could you maybe take notes for me?

So no " fuddle duddle " commentary on the floor any time soon. Damn.

a couple of questions.
1: what college/university did he graduate from?
2: Why didn't everyone in that chamber who went to OU or OSU look at him weird?
3: is there any reason why state legislators can't jeer at each other like MP's/MPP's in parliaments in Canada, England, Korea, or Japan?

so, at what point will the prices on the commodity market actually equal out to the cash price on delivery, whether one side rises or falls to the other, or they meet in the middle? there shouldn't be such a disparity, imho. anyone got an answer to that which makes sense?

dumb q here. I see oil is spiking again due to the continued issues over in the Persian Gulf & the Strait of Hormuz. but the spike on the May & June Contracts don't seem to reflect what the actual cash delivery price is by a lot, with reports on Bloomberg of closer to $140 instead of $95. (1 of 2)

yea, Links was a real good golf game. especially when you had the bagpipes going on St Andrews.

i decided to turn them on since they were on national TV. damn, what a dumpster fire of a game. they're definitely not doing the legacy of Dr J and Charles Barkley any good.

just saw a guy in the front row of the stands dive out of the way of Drummond for Philly and some guy from the Celtics to keep his legs from getting hit. But he left his sig other sitting next to him take a direct hit to her lower legs. I am guessing chivalry is dead, if it wasn't expired already.

Time for the Saturday, Midday edition talking legos, severe weather awareness, some politics, car stuff, and more

about 18hrs late, but here is this week's substack anyway.

folks, this includes the Lake of the Ozarks. if you're on the lake, get to shore immediately. #mowx

He might be right. But whether that means anything all depends on whether inflation stays below 6% or goes higher than that.

now if there was only a sounding closer to say College Station or Houston. but i digress.

where was this Sang Bin when he was on this side of US 61?

well, that's a new variation on "hump day"

I was waiting for the USCCB to chime in on this. now that they did, things are going to get real interesting ecclesiastically the next little bit.

but, given the large hail and flash flooding reports I am seeing in southern MN this evening, maybe it's not the worst thing in the world. (2 of 2)

well, on tonight's potential for severe weather in the Twin Cities metro itself, fortunately it set up 35 miles to our south, as the crow flies. sucks as a forecaster to have that happen, much less in this day and age. (1 of 2)

being catholic myself, I don't honestly know what that may mean to my neighborhood parish, whether they're remain Roman Catholic, or if they consider becoming "American Catholic", whatever that may end up being. Ironically, I grew up at St Francis of Assisi Parish back in Nanticoke.

i think since 2020 we all have been tapping obscure knowledge of all types of classes from HS and College that we never thought we needed after taking them.

that AI slop photo is among the top reasons to shut down consumer AI and put a moratorium on new data centers.

maybe an interview with the USCCB might be appropriate attm, asking them why they're so silent on DT's bashing of Pope Leo.

I just wonder why the US Council of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) is so silent right now with DT bashing Pope Leo like this.

well, according to his fb post, Reed Timmer is bringing one of the Dominators up to Minnesota tomorrow. nice. only thing I'll say, if I see him on US 61/US 10 on my drive home from work tomorrow, I know stuff is about to go down. just hope he knows 280 & parts of 394 are closed. #mnwx #wiwx

should I be surprised on anything these days?

Yeboah from the head of Markanich to take the 2-1 lead.

I have to contend that Markanich scores more with headers than with his feet. but i'll take it no matter how it goes in.

how about just giving him the treatment that occurred to the villan at the end of the first "Naked Gun" movie?

(bus, then steamroller, then marching band [in his case, Ohio St])

and also, is that Tiffany making a rare appearance in public looking on?
but yea, I think Marco had a few "rum and cokes".

I think they already have that with RSL. At least a mountain-inspired one.

the closest thing we have to an actual rivalry, with fights and such, is with Colorado.
