Props to the neighbor who has waited until rain started falling (and beginning to intensify) with somewhat distant thunder audible to begin mowing his lawn.
Maybe he can get our backyard while he's at it. Needs to be cut, but ... you know ... lightning and all.

35 games in and the Triple-A level White Sox have yet to enter ANY game as a favorite, ahead of only the Rockies, who have been underdogs in all 34 games. Those two meet June 28-30 in Chicago in a series that may spark a lawsuit for MLB trademark infringement. Woooooof.

Overtime for Game 7 in a #StanleyCup playoff series?
Hell.
Yes.
Especially because both teams are trying to avoid inevitble mocking that would come with a loss.
Losing 3-1 series leads in back-to-back years or extending a Game 7 losing streak to roughly 47?

WOW. Tremendous Final Four game between Iowa and UConn.
GREAT defense on both Paige Bueckers and Caitlin Clark.
Think Iowa *can* take the title, but think South Carolina will cap an undefeated season.
Either way, should be a helluva final on Sunday.

Nothing like getting ... ((takes a few seconds to count again)) ... *22* letters from the same roofing company on the same day about possible damage after a hail storm hit a couple of weeks ago. 🤣 Hey, better this than getting 22 visits to the house. #HailYes

I hate that I love this push alert from the AP.
So bad it's good. Break out the slow clap.

The dunk contest has been BAD the past 5-8 years, and the NBA keeps it on life support, but when you're pulling from the G League and a rookie not particularly known for his dunks among the 4 competitors ...

Spotted at the gym tonight: A young man wearing a very tight tank top reading, in large letters, "WORLD'S LARGEST MICROPENIS"
Stunningly, he also was lamenting to his "brah" that despite his "huge muscles," how much trouble he was having finding suitable female companionship.

Best part of this Cub Scout Pinewood Derby so far? The double announcement of "NO TOUCHING!"
Hoping there's a stair car among the competitors.

Snowmelt scenery: Took me a while to figure out why there was still a thin line of snow in the sunniest part of our yard. That's thanks to the shadow made by the top rail of the neighbor's fence.

The inexplicable delayed timeouts by Alabama and Michigan in the final 20 seconds of the Rose Bowl make you wonder if Saban & Harbaugh (a) were trying to give ESPN even more ad breaks, (b) have lost their fastball, or (c) both.

Currently listening to the, uh, creative stylings of a 9-year-old who's protesting practicing his baritone by going freestyle on Hot Cross Buns.

Iowa-Nebraska tied at 10 and threatening OT. Those of us who took the under (25.5) hoping for a quick FG before OT, which ... yeah.
Orrrr...stay scoreless until the 3rd OT and have one team win on the 2-pt play.

Pistachio commercial comes on that has sound effects from Pac-Man.
And the dog starts barking and growling as the Pac-Man starts eating the pellets.
Odd. Never thought that noise sounded like the doorbell. 🤣

Nothing like wondering why my drink won't go in the holder on the outdoor chair only to look down and find two of my 9-year-old's worn socks stuffed in there. #DadLife

So, uh, @Spoutible ... this looks like you're dropping the name of the next reality TV show.
Well played.

HBO Max, now called Max, just keeps getting worse. It was a great service when it was just HBO content, and now? Oh hey, how about getting less for the same price ... just because. Lovely.

Sure. And I can still go a whole week without some random part of my body getting hurt by sleeping.

Always fun when a storm packing 70 mph-plus winds comes through with constant lightning and probably 2-3 inches of rain in a half-hour ... and then while downstairs, you hear a heavy thud of something hit the roof. TBH, if a limb is going to hit the roof, this is how you want it to happen.
