Re: Random Thoughts About Thoughts Random
They closed schools for the day here because there is supposed to be just over one minute of full eclipse here that will coincide with our local elementary school releasing kids for buses and pick-up. Free glasses for our youngest, though (not sure about the middle school).

Justin Fields to the Steelers for a 6th. Is he backing up Russ? Yes. The Bears traded him for a 2025 6th-rounder that can become a 4th-rounder based on playing time.

Seems like his stints in the NBA might've helped. I can't believe he's been at UH for 10 years.

That's not for everybody, particularly the first part. An...
