The forecast is for 50 mph winds here tomorrow at noon, with pouring rain and temps dropping from 47 to 32.
Should be a great time in the standing section.

Re: Random Thoughts About Thoughts Random
Real Salt Lake is celebrating their "twentieth anniversary" at their home opener Saturday.
This annoys me way too much. It's not their twentieth anniversary, it's the beginning of their twentieth season.

And yet, (at least) four justices voted to grant cert.

There was an explosion of euphoria yesterday in Cub world when they re-signed Bellinger.
At our local Greek breakfast place, a guy was wearing both a Cubs jacket and a Cubs hat. (Not a ballcap, but a driving cap - it looked really cool actually.) He had me beat because I just had a Cubs sweatshirt.

It's almost like local politicians bringing politically motivated criminal charges is a bad idea.
Though none of today's theater has anything to do with the merits of the criminal charges.
