As a Finn, I pronounce it Rah-pah-la. Any other pronunciation is obviously from a Swede. 😏

Has anyone watched "Listers: A Glimpse Into Extreme Birdwatching" found in YouTube? It's about these two, complete novices, who decide to take one year to try identify as many birds as possible. It is absolutely hilarious because they are so far out of their element. It's fun and enjoyable. A...

I returned from a medical mission trip to Sucre, Bolivia on Sunday evening. I missed biking. I have enjoyed four straight days of biking around the southeast metro. My knees are a bit sore, but riding has been glorious. The work we did was at nearly 10,000 feet elevation so riding here has been...

I disagreed with the cancel culture of the left and I equally disagree with the cancer culture of the right. I would hope that had Charlie Kirk not been killed, he would stand up for freedom of speech. In the case of Jimmy Kimmel, the dart was aimed at Donald Trump and the neo-con bullies, not...

You remind me of the Clint Eastwood movie, "Trouble with the Curve" where the team wants to get rid of the old veteran scout and go with metrics. The newbies pick the wrong kid and the old vet is proved right.

#9 Where is ESPN, the Ocho, when you need it? 🤔😏

Anything to make your day, good sir. 😏

And reposted today. 😁

Costello goes to Michigan.

Are we going full banana for this game?

I got a little greedy with my 70-0 guess.

My 70-0 guess was oh so close.

Going full iron ore!

Ohio should know best how badly that would have played out for them last year. They would have never won the naty.

Sigh, protesters have been a pest in the past as well. These protesters should know that people lose compassion for them when they interrupt an event like this.

Maybe, but they would be second tier to the elite players. I generally count 5 or less as elite and that status comes from individual excellence. For example, in biking you have Pogacar and Vingegaard with everyone else falling into a lower tier.

Yes, the US has not produced elite male tennis players in quite a long time. I blame it on soccer. 😅 I think Alcaraz will win in straight sets or purhaps lose one, but I don't think it will be all that close. Alcaraz is just that good right now. Joker is one of the greatest, but the mantle has...

The only reason we don't score 60+ is because PJ stops passing at halftime and puts Max Shikenjanski in for extended minutes. Any points scored by NW State is purely because we have reserves in and we accidentally let them score. MN 70 NW State 0

Who's been watching on Peacock? Today was a rest day, but Sunday saw Vingegaard blowing everyone away on the final mountain climb. It was a bold move to leave his team in the dust and get back within 37 seconds of tour leader Torstein Traeen who is a rider I hadn't heard of (but I don't follow...

On Thursday, before the holiday, I did a 30 mile ride in and around St Paul. I had 2000 feet of elevation riding my old bike. The last quarter mile was a 7% incline climb up out of the River valley. I never get tired of riding along the Mississippi and climbing up the bluffs. It's a great...
