I just saw this. I went heavy on the Lions. Was sweating for a bit but nice win. Fans deserve it. Put some of the house $ on Bills. Had an uneasy feeling going in but the ml looked too easy to take KC so went opposite. Still ended in the green so no complaints. Feel bad for those fans lol. "Missed wide right" needs to be their new motto. Really like Baltimore next week and I think Detroit's run may be over. Paper says #1 vs #1 in SB but who the heck knows. Lions may end up as the Cinderella team of destiny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when you're up by 17 (at that point), and on the road. At least attempt a 3 because if you fail on 4th it gives the the opposing team (Niners) great momentum...which it did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTA66 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 It's as if the Lions went into the locker room at halftime and suddenly remembered they were the Lions.

Hurricane Agnes Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 LOL I just saw this trailer this morning - The trailer scenes almost look like a remake of the original "Twister" but I think this is supposed to be a sequel. Hard to believe it's been almost 30 years. I have the original on laserdisc and used to use it as one of my "demo" films for my early Dolby Digital 5.1 home theater back then (complete with subwoofer). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was obsessed with the original when I was 10 - went to see it in the theater at least three times and then burned through a VHS copy. A big reason I got into tornadoes and weather was because of that movie. Obviously the science doesn't hold up at all, and I imagine this sequel won't be any better in that regard, but it's a trip.

Hell many of us grew up with TV shows that had the opening of "in color" on the screen to let you know that the show was actually "in color" (if you even had a color TV). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolHandMike Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 I was going to post this on the obs thread but since I went off on such a huge tangent, I figured it would be better to post here. Some beautiful asperitus clouds today in my neck of the woods today. Sadly I did not think to capture pics. (I will forever refer to them as Undulatus Asperitus.) Regarding flooding... I've lived here for 3.5 years, and before last July's eleven inches of rain in three days, we'd get a hard rain, and the dry sump well in my house would remain bone dry throughout. There wasn't even a sump installed when we bought it! It was literally just a 2' deep pit in my basement with gravel at the bottom. Even during the 5" we received when the Skook flooded in August of '21 it remained dry. Now though, anything over an inch of precip, and my basement would flood if I hadn't installed a pump last year (and the battery backup pump). What I don't yet understand (totally expected, given my rather poor understanding of hydrogeology, despite majoring in geoscience) is how my local subterranean hydro has changed so much just from one event. I live almost on top of a low rise, in an albeit, well-developed suburb. Now that I think of it, the local "water authority" (yes, they call themselves that--the regular "municipal authority" has actually taken pains to explain how the two are separate--gotta love local politics) has been severely mismanaged, and has only recently been taken to task for overall poor maintenance of the supply system, shifting blame of stormwater handling to the municipality. Long story short, we've had at least three water main breaks here in the past several years, the last one occurring during that July flooding event. The water authority blamed the municipality for poor maintenance of the drainage system, which caused excessive erosion which knocked out the water main. But the mains are ~100 years old, and proper maintenance might have prevented the break despite the flooding/erosion. And there's also the question of millions of dollars in some kind of literal "rainy-day fund" that the water authority had just been kind of sitting on? The whole thing smacks of corruption at the local level, and finally last year, with the threat of dissolution BY the municipality, the water authority was forced to take on members of our local council on their board. There've been no water main breaks since, and I've seen more local maintenance occurring in the area, so... yay? But all of that still doesn't explain why my (nearly) hilltop basement wants to flood now with anything nearing an inch of rain when it's been bone dry for the majority of the past 3.5 years. (And for the ~30 years prior, as there was absolutely zero evidence of any kind of flooding or dampness in the unfinished basement when we bought the house in 2020.) Groundwater flow continues to mystify. As an aside, can you believe at least two families before ours owned this house with a completely unfinished basement and did absolutely nothing at all with it??? The mind boggles. That's prime woodshop territory! It also now includes a walled-off pantry, a seedling nursery area, and walled-off storage area for all of the regular house stuff. I just refuse to accept that my "hilltop" basement could simply flood at any moment, but here we are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
