I preferred Daylight Savings Time they way it was before 2007 when it was only from the first Sunday in April to the last Sunday in October. They should've just kept it that way. I preferred it that way too. There was something about growing up with Halloween being dark while trick or treating. It ...

I too wish they would build it organically like aksarben. The Cass side is acceptable, but the Dodge side is a total let down. The developer has the city by the balls though, so any suggestion to change course could get poor results.

Anybody remember when Metro acquired buses from Orlando? There was about 10-15 of them and they were all different colors. It was kinda fun. At the time, I didn't make a point of it, but I took note when I rode each different one and each one had their own character, including the interiors. Maybe t...

Lol good one.

Busguy2010

Even if we don't see 6 wins, I like the product much better. The defense actually hawks the ball, and I love that. The offense has struggled, mainly due to turnovers, offensive line penalties, and lack of a passing game. That can be cleaned up easily, and after last night, I have some hope for a pas...

Busguy2010

Big sigh... I hate that they lost, but it was a better product to watch. The defense IS legit. In years past, Wisconsin would have run off into the sunset. At least it was a captivating game. I watched every second of it. I see definite signs of a corner being turned. Great defense, pretty good QB p...

I'll have to say at halftime, I'm very impressed with Chubba Purdy tonight. There's actually a passing game! I love how he's keeping his eyes up looking to pass, but still running well too. Putting good zip on the ball too.

Not comfortable at 14-10 though. Fingers crossed.

Busguy2010

Bah humbug. Iowa just won the West.

Just gotta hope the Huskers can get that elusive 6th win.

Busguy2010

WOW the whole Crossroads area is a freakin nightmare this week! Cass and Dodge both totally messed up and someone told me Dodge was about to go down to one lane. It's just an unbelievable mess. It's just awful.

Busguy2010

Keep em coming! But in the meantime, I'd also be interested in what's everyone's favorite dishes? Of the places I've gone, it's not like I've explored their menu either. I like anything with a savory and or sweet brown sauce. And it needs to be SPICY. Any meat or tofu is good with me. And I GOT to h...

I think that's the one I've been meaning to try the most.

Whomever moved my post, good to know we've been on this subject before. Some posters names have been here the whole time, some haven't, and we have a lot of new names here as well that can chime in. And a lot has to have changed in 13-17 years. I cant believe I had forgotten about JC Mandarin by Wes...

For some reason, I'm really craving Chinese. Too bad it's so late. However, I was wondering, what are all your favorites? Must try places? I'm talking your typical "American" Chinese places. Honestly my list of places in the Metro I've ever tried is pretty slim. I'll put it below in no ord...

Busguy2010

I don't think its needed. It wouldn't serve much of a constructive purpose IMO. We don't need to "know" 10-14 days in advance if there's gonna be a tornado threat, a snowstorm, etc in order to prepare for that event. Not like anybodys gonna start digging a trench to prepare for the (insert...

Busguy2010

I can see how as a storm chaser, that would help you in game time decisions during the chase. But my thought is, would it really be any different in the big picture? A 14 day forecast is just that, a general idea. I don't think there's much of a point trying to make it slightly more accurate, and po...

Pretty amazing a movie made in 1984 mapped it all out for us. A little bit behind schedule, though, as I don't think we'll have killer robots that can eliminate mankind and time travel in 6 years... but hey, ya never know :shrug: But with the real sky net in AI, it certainly is threatening job secur...

Busguy2010

I don't have the answer, but I do know I mentioned quite a while ago (10+ years or so) that I thought the suburbs would one day become the lower income parts of the city. Still hard to say that difinitively now, but you kinda see subtle signs. Poor apartment management, older vehicles, aging, underc...

Busguy2010

Just watched Rusty and he sounds a little more confident on the back half of the 14 day forecast being cooler and wetter. Model hinting at a snow storm the weekend after Thanksgiving.

Busguy2010

The real question is did the geomagnetic storm knock out the lightspeed rail system? I hate to imagine the headache it's gonna be to run to the spaceport and get the heck outta Dodge. Hope I don't miss the last ship!

Busguy2010

Why stop there!?

Busguy2010

So there's been so little in the way of weather that we've started threads for the next two years :lol: That says quite a bit. There is a burn ban that starts in a few hours and is ongoing until further notice due to excessive dryness, low dewpoint, and breezy conditions. It's not quite as bad as it...

Busguy2010

I agree with Garrett and Brad on this. For 70 years we torn down buildings and filled in space with surface lots to accommodate the car. Now we are filling in those holes and new infill development to add back density. We are not displacing but adding to the neighborhoods. There are a ton of hoops ...

The Pac N Save in Seward has had an ACE Hardware on the South part of the store ever since I've been out here. You walk past it to get to the coolers in the SW corner, or the pharmacy, but outside of that, you don't really notice the place. Is it separated in any way? This whole True Value moving i...

Busguy2010

Well, I guess we now have hardware stores open until 11 pm at night, for all your late night hardware needs. There's another reason to be perplexed. Usually True Value closes relatively early. Like 9 max and 6 on Sunday in some places. I just don't compute. They have separate staff? Are the family ...

Busguy2010

In hindsight, every game this year except Michigan were/are winnable games. I agree. Also with Colorado crumbling the way they are, that probably shouldn't have been as big of a loss as it was. All in all I've been happy they've been in almost every game I expected them to be. These next two games ...

As a fan at this point, I'd give up on hoping to win the BIG 10 West vs. becoming bowl eligible. From a recruiting stand point seeing Rhule getting NU back to the post season in his first year would look a heck of a lot better than getting your arse kicked in Indianapolis. Those goals are almost co...

Busguy2010

Well, for Wisconsin and Iowa, well we use at QB Haarberg, Sims, or Purdy? Probably all 3? I wouldn't doubt it. Surprisingly, I thought Purdy did "best" yesterday. I think it was a really bad play call that led to the interception he threw. He threw it, yes, but I really thought that play ...

Busguy2010

Speaking of Northwestern, they beat Wisconsin yesterday. Both teams are now 5-5. The whole west is so open and so bad, I won't rule anyone out until the final bell. Heck, even Illinois and Minnesota have slim chances, I think. Not exactly sure how the tie breakers would work out for any team in thi...

Busguy2010

Yikes, gotta pretty much hope for a miracle now. Iowa has to both lose to Illinois and Nebraska, and Nebraska has to beat Wisconsin and Iowa. And apparently Northwestern holds a tie breaker for having beat Minnesota and Maryland, despite losing to the Huskers? So we also need Northwestern to drop on...

Busguy2010

At the moment there's still hope. A very small sliver, but all the west games I mentioned in the other thread are surprisingly in decent shape. If they all miraculously end in upsets, Iowa would still have a 1 game lead, but keeps the door open. Wisconsin doesn't look as good. Gives a little hope fo...

Busguy2010

Very ugly. Three very important games all starting right now. Iowa-Rutgers, Northwestern-Wisconsin, and Purdue-Minnesota.

Root Rutgers, Northwestern, Purdue. If they all win there might still be a little window.

Busguy2010

I decided not to go for it. Didn't feel like dealing with the crowd and last weeks loss made me less confident in a win today. It's pretty difficult to find a way to predict a Husker win today. Maryland has put up in the range of 24-44 points against their opponents, minus the ranked ones. Granted, ...

Busguy2010

I hope we see some sort of variation soon. There's been nothing to talk about lately, nothing to complain about either. Don't get me wrong, it's largely been pretty good the past couple weeks. Unexpectedly so for this time of year. But I need that variety or I get bored and depressed. The analogy I'...

Then you've never truly camped!! Okay, maybe that's a bit of a reach, but hiking in for a couple days and carrying all your stuff with you is a fantastic adventure. The water part is what really sucks if you aren't going where there's a stream you can filter off of. I did some camping as a kid in t...

Busguy2010

I noticed it looks quite a bit more cleaned up recently. Dunno if they did some grading at some point, but if they did, the grasses would say it happened over the summer and I just didn't notice it til now. Crazy CVS has held onto it this long. With a few of them closing, I don't see them building t...

Busguy2010

Haven't had the chance to go yet, but hopefully I don't run out of time. The weather has been and continues to look perfect, if not a little warmer than I like, for camping... And we're talking mid November! I took a little drive out there just to scope it out and get a map. Granted it was late at n...

I noticed today with the wind, quite a bit of green leaves falling of trees in my immediate area.

I think I'm going to go to the game this weekend. Being my first game, any tips or tricks? The bug that might prevent me is dealing with traffic and paying for parking. I'm not gonna tailgate so I don't need a spot. Any hidden gems for parking cheap or free with a walk? Any good back routes to the s...

There was also mention of possible expansions to North O, which they're seeking a $300k federal grant to study, possibly followed by an airport extensions. IMO, they should not be spending money on an expansion study when they don't have the primary route built yet. I have said before a streetcar i...
