After lunch randoms:
Was on a rough flight last night into Charlotte. Flew through a pretty good storm, turbulence actually knocked open some over head compartments and a small child, i believe, **** all over himself a few rows up. Also, the Asian lady next to me was flying with a Paro. For those that have seen Master of None, you know how weird those are. The lady was dressing it up and taking video.
Think its under 10 points tomorrow but we never make a real challenge. Have a bad feeling we see Willis come back down to earth a bit and Alex is due to have his **** the bed game again.
Moving the BGE back to Alabama this weekend. Had it in storage since we sold the house. It will be staged on my in laws patio but at least it will get some sunlight again. Also excited to try out my new plate setter/griddle combo.
Jones new podcasts are a good listen. I dont dislike KSR by any means, and its always back in the rotation during the March run, but it got a bit stale for my daily listening habits. So far I like the diversity of topics- it will be interesting to see if hes able to maintain good guest for a random mix of topics. I would imagine outlining the shows content is as difficult as doing the actual show. Open to new-non sports podcasts recs for my increased time i am spending on the road.
Twice last week, a house went under contract as we were preparing an offer- like the same day we looked at the house. Tough process, especially from a distance.
1. Spake (duh)
2. Stark
3. Arrington
4. Cox
Have never had a tax guy do our taxes- weve always just turbo taxed. But with rental incomes and a home sale (before two years) bc of job relocation- I may farm that out this year. I dont want to mistakenly get hit with capital gains taxes bc i didnt know all of the rules to apply when moving for a job, and crap like that.
Worked with a guy this last week who was my counterpart at the College of The Atlantic. Which is a college on an island just off the coast of Maine. Under 400 students total, and not many people at all on the island. Crazy setup- cant really imagine being that isolated.
College baseball on the horizon. Realizing im the only one here who follows recruiting/college baseball, it still ranks high on my list of sports interest. Lot of folks think UL gets it done this year, which is disappointing. SEC all over the preseason polls (1. UF, 3. Vandy, 4. A&M, 7. LSU, 15. MSU, 17. USC, 25. Arky), but I think UK has a rough go this year.
Was reading on the release of one of the US citizens who had been held captive in Iran. While being held, he was still provided with water, showers, food, etc... and now he is back in his hometown of Flint, Michigan where there is still apparently mud and feces with lead coming through the taps.
Cant really rank the major gas station chains bc they differ a bit down here, but Buddy's gas and grocery is by far the best in western Alabama. Quality petro, and a dynamite lunch basket.
