Let me know where the clearance sale is, I could use a few pairs of jeans.

I've always found it interesting you see signs for "North Omaha". I guess it makes sense since 680 is a place to turn, but I always found it funny. As if North Omaha is much of a destination. They also have those signs on HWY 275 for HWY 36. It is nice when coming back to town, if you live...

I wonder where they plan on going with it. If you draw a line from 19th & Harney, its over 3 miles to either the airport or NOTC. In the grant it says 3 miles. I guess it'll go up 19th to Lake, then its anybody's guess from that point. I realized it would be okay for it to go up 19th. The 18 onl...

I was pretty disappointed with the Toyotas. What they did pitting early all together really shook up the race and made it really interesting. Only to have them wreck each other.

That has to be quite the slope. Starting at 0 at the corner on 10th, has to be at least 20 feet over the railroad tracks, and at least another 16 over riverfront drive. I think it looks good, but should make for an impressive climb. Where the Baby Bob starts at Fahey, the Elevation is 985' Where th...

AWESOME RACE. I'm SOOOO glad Brad Keselowski's move fell on it's face.

Busguy2010

I planted all my cooler weather stuff on the 16th. This should be our last freeze. I feel confident in hooking up the irrigation for the last time.

In response to a couple posts up, I definitely think we should pump the brakes on extensions. Let's wait for the streetcar to run for a couple years and find out where the demand really is. The only extensions that really make any sense to be considering IMO are linear extensions of the Farnam backb...

Eek, wowt is saying 30 and 31 Friday night and Saturday night. Probably want to bring in or protect the plants you can. Often times I personally can vary from the forecast by a couple degrees. Could be a couple warmer or a couple colder. I won't take any chances.

Which would suckkkkk

Yes it would. It still looks like a chance it could freeze Saturday night, but hopefully it'll be brief enough, and no colder than 32.

Busguy2010

They were budding early. If I had to estimate, thery were about 2-3 weeks early. The fact trees are blooming at and well before the usual last freeze says it's been a warm winter and spring. Luckily it doesn't look like there'll be a hard freeze to accompany the early budding and blooming.

In February was on a walk on a Sunday night about 9pm, walking by those jungle gym things by the luminarium and a group of young adults or juveniles, idk, I couldn't see them, were saying things like keep walking, and other things. I wasn't listening because I knew they were just a bunch of young do...

Stothert is behind the street car, MoO relocating downtown, the downtown parks revamp, and the goals of bringing thousands more residents and jobs downtown. How is she viewed as partly blocking or being complacent with momentum? To rehash what I've been saying for the last 5 years or so for the 100...

I will be curious how much downtown or eppley got bc it was pretty steady since midnight with some heavy bursts on the east side of town. According to them, the 7 and 8 o'clock hours were the only substantial rainfall periods. That would have been for that main cell that came through. 0.28", a...

Tornado watch was issued at 4, going til 8. We have one decent looking cell coming up the river right now. It kinda looks like that may be the main one they were talking about. It doesn't look all that impressive, but I suppose we'll find out here soon. I may be tricking myself, but the sky looks ve...

Wow, it's starting to sound pretty serious. Caitlin just showed we're In the hatched area for VERY large hail. Not a good prospect there.

I knew I remembered the last time Chase Elliott won, I was there. Hard to believe it'd been that long, October 2nd, 2022, Talladega. Dude doesn't do burn outs, apparently because he likes to save his equipment for his next win 45 races from now 🤣 But really, I'm neither here nor there on Chase Ellio...

I always hated this section, for, if you miss the access road exit, you're on the hook between Center and Harrison. I never got why, of any stretch of interstate in Omaha, any of them had to be divided like this one. Bad design in my book.

I went back and looked at a couple of dates with street view photos: 3/17: 8 floors 3/24: 9 floors 4/7: 11 floors So looking at this probably a little quicker than we thought, maybe about 7-8 days per floor. (the floors I posted would be the one they are working on or basically the one under the ye...

Is this corner still fighting homeless hovering around in the area? Panhandling issues? A Megasaver will only magnify the problem. It will be like bugs drawn to a bug zapper. Just go to the Casey's at 77th and you will see this Mega Saver definitely fits the area. Not only that, but it'll be very s...

Busguy2010

I would guess some sort of prep work. For something as big as the streetcar, I'd think there'd be a groundbreaking ceremony once they start working on THE streetcar.

So you are suggesting I can put my snow blower away?

Lol, I put mine away like 6 weeks ago.

Ayy! I just noticed another one of my pantry staples for an under the weather day, Campbell's tomato soup, has gotten in on the potassium party! I just noticed the sodium in the normal can is oddly way lower, and the potassium is way higher. This is a very good development. I can't wait to find anot...

I don't think I heard one crack of thunder out of that. It was another whiff.

Busguy2010

So our last freeze was April 5th, and there isn't one forecast in the foreseeable future.

So cast your vote. Will our last freeze be 4/5?

Yes

I had the Cuban BBQ sandwich from Firehouse today. And, yet again, this was a big hit for me! It's definitely a 10, and I think there's room for extra credit. I'll be getting this as much as I can before they run out. Highly recommended. Do they use honest to goodness Cuban bread? That’s what makes...

That brought back a lot of memories for me. I recognized one of the KCBS judge trainers in that video, back from my judging, judge training and cooking days. I used to cook on the BBQ circuit, where I met so many wonderful people. I also judged over a dozen contests throughout the region. I’ve sinc...

I guess I'm not sure why he has to pay any signficant pennance, other than for sucking horribly at his job... What did he really do that was worse than, say, a Steve Sarkisian or a Frank Solich?

I definitely agree we need to invest more in our transit. I'm more in favor of on street transfers, though. These can definitely be made better through better infrastructure. The routes are more direct and efficient rather than the hub and spoke method Metro tried in the early 2000's. I get why the...

I just saw the map. I REALLY do not think using a streetcar, especially on that route, is an effective airport route. A few hard pills we have to swallow - that route will take at least 20 minutes between the airport and downtown. I want to lean more toward 30 minutes. It won't be effective transpor...

Saw this posted on last transit authority meeting. Thought it was interesting to share. It really goes to show when you spend very little, you get what you pay for. If they citizens want a great transit network , they will have to invest more to get it. I wish the posted ridership percentages next ...

Perhaps Trev can hire him at A&M? Explain that reasoning. Trev is the one that fired him It was meant to be sarcasm... I wouldn't hire Frost if he was the last coach available. Also, I do feel it's ironic as both have a history with the program yet they're now both gone. Just meant it as a joke...

This extension is basically building a historic streetcar line in the way it functions. There is a reason why we don't build them anymore. Buses are cheaper and out perform these old streetcars. I can go on and on about why this line is so poorly thought out. What are the metrics for the next study...

This seems like a Grand Slam Home Run for downtown KC as well as the Power and Light and Crossroads entertainment districts. And I like the idea that absolutely no public parking will be included as part of this $2 billion development. The city and Royals are counting on a combination of existing p...

I noticed those "there is hope" signs popping up all over. The pedestrian bridge, the whale carcass, and a random bridge over I-480... look, I get it's well intended, but I'm not sure how I feel about them. I went for a walk with my niece downtown recently and I really don't think it's a g...
