The number-1 gas price gouger in the California, is the state of California. With one stroke of a pen, they could suspend the state gas taxes and stop the bullshite of having summer gas and winter gas (which causes the refineries to switch over and pass that cost on to the citizens). Because gas starts to degrade between 3-6 months, they start selling to the plain state markets two months before each switchover.

Bozeman, Montana -16. Really, after it hit about 20 degrees, it didn't matter, just numb.

Cairo, Egypt. It was 113, and while I've been in hotter (119 in Palm Desert), Cairo is 1050 years old and they still haven't planted one f'ing tree in that city that you could find shade underneath. If you were outside of the hotel, there was no place to hide from the sun.

I see what you did there. Kudos for the Linkin Park reference.

Living in Sonoma County I am very familiar with how fast these fires move. My father who was 92 was living at an asisted living facility in Santa Rosa the night the Tubbs Fire started. Pushed by 60 mph winds and 90 mph gusts. That fire covered the almost 13 miles from Calistoga to Santa Rosa in just over 3 and a half hours burning the facility to the ground.

On a side note, my father was one of 82 elderly people who were abandoned by the staff as the fire approached. An incredible group of citizens driving by the facilty, put their lives on the line by pulling into the facility and evacutating people in their personal vehicles. My father and 3 other folks in their 90's were evacuated by a teenaged Hispanic girl (never found out who she was) and driven to a Catholic church in Cotati.

When we finally tracked my father late in the day on October 9th, he had escaped wearing just his robe, slippers and boxer shorts. The first thing my father said to me was "it was the most scared I've ever been", which is something, considering my dad was in the 7th Infantry Division at Chosin. Miss you Dad.

yeeks!!!!

Sauteed crab fingers with an order of crab meat stuffed mushrooms. Eat the crab fingers first, then pour th remaining crab finger sauce over the mushrooms. FYI, make sure you have your cardiologist on speed dial.

I've coached HS football for many years.A few years back services like HUDL allowed you to retrieve a metric report from info you downloaded. Two weeks ago I was talking to an opposing AD after our game who told me he and the head basketball coach were actively having a group of students working on an AI assist for their basketball team. He said if it helps, they'll definitely suggest using AI to the football program. In reality though, the bottom line is that it will always be more about the Jimmy's and Joe's, than the X's and O's.

Not weird to us, because my mother was from Naples, but it is to most non-Italians and 3+ generation Italian-Americans I know, pasta e patate, which is pasta with potatoes. I still eat it during the winter months. My Irish wife thinks its gross.
