    All Things 2025 Minnesota Vikings In-Season Thread

    JJ will be good to go. He was coached by Harbaugh and he has great pieces around him. He is, arguably, practicing against a top 5 defense which is challenging in practice, but will be an advantage in games. The real question is what kind of an offensive line will he have to give him time to...

    Farm Aid Concert at Huntington

    Does it really matter what the venue is? My daughter came back from seeing Coldplay at Camp Randall, calling it the biggest dump she has ever been to. There is no way the Bank will be worse than that rickety old pile of crap. With no roof, a person could just camp out in the area and enjoy the...

    Farm Aid Concert at Huntington

    This statistic is skewed by the inability to factor in the large farmers who are renting acreage from families that no longer work the farm. For example, the last 15 years of my uncle's life, he could no longer work the farm and, instead, rented the acres out to another farmer.

    Farm Aid Concert at Huntington

    You prove my point that the small farmer has faded away. Only the big farmer exists and the rest of the folks are serfs. Welcome to the return of the feudal system.

    All Things 2025 Vuelta a Espana

    Dates are from August 23 to September 14. I will miss much of the La Vuelta this year as I have a medical missions trip scheduled in Bolivia. If Peacock is covering it, I may be able to record it. Looks like they're only riding Northern Spain from east to west. I enjoyed last year's...

    All Things 2025 Minnesota Twins In-Season Thread

    I have wondered what the issue was as well. The Rockies also have pine trees in centerfield. How distracting can a 10 foot tall Spruce be?

    Farm Aid Concert at Huntington

    I see a lot of hired hands while super farms grow bigger and small farms fade away. I also know that there were super farms and wealthy investors wanted my uncle's land, but the family found smaller farmers who would honor the land and sold to them for a lower price so it wouldn't be gobbled up...

    Farm Aid Concert at Huntington

    The farms are being owned by big farmers who own thousands and ten thousands of acres. The day of the 80 - 160 acre farm are over. When my uncles farm went up for sale after he died there were local "super farmers" who were very eager to buy the 240 acres he had. Those boys could buy the land...

    All Things Weather

    Well, when the Orange Leader annexes Canada we can work to put out the fires. I was just up in the Canadian Rockies and the news outlets were reporting a group of Albertans who want to leave Canada and become their own independent country. They had "Make Alberta Great Again" hats.

    Farm Aid Concert at Huntington

    With the price of land and the low prices on corn and soybean it will be very hard for small farms to remain viable. Southwest Minnesota land is running well over 10k per acre.

    All things biking.

    Ironically, I have been hiking in the Canadian Rockies and the air is wonderfully clear. However, I drove through and around Jasper and that fire must have been unreal. Trees are burned to a crisp for miles and miles, all the way up and over mountains. It's devastating and some very nice hikes...

    All Things 2025 Tour de France

    Because of watching a number of tours, I have told my wife that if we go to France we can quickly leave Paris and head to various areas that I have seen via the tour. Man made stuff is not nearly as interesting to me as the land and geography of France. Show me the coastline, the grain fields...

    Get to Know Men's Basketball's Cade Tyson

    Based on his comment about catching a catfish on an overnight jug, it's pretty clear he was talking about fishing in another state. I would suggest he fish for muskie at Lake of the Isles. Some of Minnesota's largest muskie are lurking in those waters. More than a few small dogs have met their...

    Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath frontman and icon of British heavy metal, dies aged 76

    Everytime I see someone put their hands up with a peace sign, I think of Ozzy on the cover of Volume 4. I loved Paranoid for its anti-war theme, but for me, Volume 4 may have been the best album.
