My perspective is skewed. I've been to Boca in April, Tampa in December, and the Keys in February. All three were absolutely perfect weather. Apparently I need to go down in the summer just to get a dose of reality and realize it's not perfect all the time.

Too funny. We were in Boca Raton for 4 days. Yes, the weather was so perfect we didn't want to come home. I can see why people winter down there.

My wife was the one in the Twins hat; I had a blue Cal hat on. We split the burger, and as always with Shake Shack, it was delicious. Gracias!

I apparently was on your flight. FLL to MSP on Sunday, landed with a few mins left. If you heard some dude clapping while waiting for bags at the carousel, that was me cheering while listening on the radio call. Some dude wearing Wolves gear gave us his extra Shake Shack burger. That you?

You can only import kei vehicles (or any other vehicle sold in a different country, save Canada) under the 25 year rule, so they have to be 25 years old. States are cracking down on the registration of them even though they are allowed at the federal level and there often aren’t specific state...

Watched Sing Sing on my Delta flight on Thursday. One of the best movies I’ve seen in a while. Very original.

Maybe this has been brought up in the portal thread, but AJ Storr, is moving to his 4th college team in 4 years. He also attended 4 different high schools as well. So the last 8 years of basketball he's been on 8 different teams. To some, the grass is always greener on the other side. The free...

Did they determine they stunk in their current colors and decided to ape the Milwaukee Brewers?

Looking at very early stats, maybe trading Encarnacion-Stand wasn't smart - he'd fit in well here. .174 BA and an 11:1 K:BB stat line. https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/5012106/christian-encarnacion-strand

Two things: 1. Those uniforms, white pants or not, are atrocious. 2. The best the Twins can do when promoting their team is using France and Bader? Did they already use up all the contractual media responsibilities of the players that people actually know? This team is sunk.

I wasn't over-the-moon on A Real Pain. I watched it when it was first offered on streaming, before I had heard anything about it, so I went in with a blank slate. The timeline didn't seem realistic which bothered me, and the main characters were too "cartoony". Eisenberg was the prototypical...

Thanks for posting. I was at the game, and thought the recognition was awesome. They used to honor longtime season ticket holders in football, and a number of years ago they stopped that. Every time there is a fan survey, I bring it up. Seeing the old timers get honored is awesome. On both the...

My sister's favorite movies growing up were Airplane and Top Secret, so I've seen both probably 20+ times as we had the VHS's. Haven't seen Top Secret in at least 25 years, however. I'll have to give it a re-watch.

Such is the current state of college basketball - Omot is on his third school in 4 years and the CSU kid is on school three in 3 years. Not complaining about the commits, just an observation.

I just put blankets stuffed at the bottom of my stadium bags, even if it's 90 degrees out. All my contraband is then stuffed inside the blanket at the bottom of the bag. Extra tip - if you have young kids, always carry them through security. 95% of the time if security sees you struggling to...
