I got my MIL posted up at the Whiteys on 41st street in Moline.

Poor woman can barely stand but I told her it Kirk can make $10 million a year to 💩 his pants on live TV, she can muster the courage to fund his salary by standing out in the rain and ring her swarm bell.

Please bring change or fiat currency. We tried setting up Venmo but she got scammed by some Tijuana Ladyboys for $150. Long story, don’t ask.

The accumulation of fuel in the US is exacerbating forest fires. Labor, especially cheap labor, is needed to clear out fire prone areas. Why not put the illegals to work? Rake the forests for 4-6 years and you get to be a citizen.

1. My school has a speaker coming today.
2. The speaker is not charging the school for their visit because they are filming it for their business.
?? Can my NIL be used in the video because I am a school employee? I know the students sign a media waiver at the beginning of the year but this seems different.

Nobody ever uses those. Tis the season.

I saw a guy running on the shoulder of I380 today just south of CR. I pulled over and asked if he needed help. He told me he was just "out for a jog." WTF? I told him that I think that's illegal. He definitely had some sort of issues. Very strange. As I drove away I called 911. Hope he's ok.

On May 1st it was reported that as a 4th round pick, Tory's 4 year deal would be worth $4,780,061.

The detailed numbers have now come out.

Tory signed a 4 year, $4,767,900 contract with the Chicago Bears, including a $747,900 signing bonus. $747,900 of the $4,767,900 is guaranteed.

However, if everything goes according to plan, this is what he will earn over the 4 years:

So who's coming to Nashville? Low 60s and partly sunny on Monday.

I was going to work from home that day, but may come into my office downtown to people watch.

EOM.

This is as of December 17, 2024. Intended for the curious, not as a judgment.

Patrick McCaffery - Butler: 11.9 ppg, started all 11 games for 7-4 Butler. Shooting .470% from 3 - not sure if he changed anything or has just been on a heater.

Tony Perkins - Mizzou: 7.8 ppg, started 4 games, played 8 for 9-1 Missouri. Must have been hurt for a bit. Only has one game in double figure scoring.

CJ Frederick - Cincy: 1.6 ppg in limited minutes over 5 games for #19 Cincinnati. Yep, he's still around - he redshirted in Joe Wieskamp's freshman class at Iowa.

Ahron Ulis - Nebraska: 3.4 ppg in about 15 min/game for 7-2 Nebraska. Finally got to play after having to sit last year for the gambling investigation. We'll see him January 7th.

Dasonte Bowen - St. Bonaventure: Averaging 11.1 and 4.2 assists, starting 10/11 games for a 10-1 St. Bonaventure team. They lost to Utah State too - He had 15 pts.

Josh Ogundele - Tennessee State: Yep, he's still around too. Left Middle Tennessee last year and has already played in 11 games with the first 2 starts of his college career. 4.5 pts 3.7 reb. Team is 4-7.

Amarion Nimmers - Tampa Spartans: After a stop at Indian Hills CC, is averaging 16.1 ppg and shooting .426 from 3 for the D2 school, which is 7-2 on the season.

That could be $276,923 each year for each of the 13 scholarship players.

I've been stewing about this, and questionably, I'm asking HBOT for an opinion on this dispute.

Yesterday at about 2:30 p.m., Mrs. Tradition (no pics) says, "I have a hankering for BBQ. Let's go to Sonny's."

What????

I had three rapid-fire thoughts about this:

1. Sonny's BBQ sucks.
   
   
2. The skies to the north were blacker than a witch's tit, and it was getting ready to storm like hell (we got thunder and lightning, 2" of rain, and gale-force winds).
   
   
3. The Dolphins are playing the late afternoon game.

So, as we debated the pros and cons of going out on a lark to Sonny's BBQ, I had to point out that, "I make better BBQ than any freaking franchise crap."

She replied, "I don't have to give Sonny's three days notice before I get to eat it."

Fair enough.

So in the end, she went out in the shitstorm and got the big-ass family bundle ($70+) to-go and we watched the Dolphins while we ate weak-ass, fast-food BBQ.

Who was wrong here?

Approx 350 for a truck with safelite. But that's not OEM. Significantly more for that.

Have you used Safelite and if so how has it turned out for you?
