Not a fan, not a fan... 80 degrees is all fine and good, but not in February. There's a time and place for everything and this ain't supposed to be it.

It's just wild how warm and dry it's been. Today especially. You'd be hard pressed not to think it was mid May?

I've always felt that Dodge should've been 7 lanes (3 east, 3 west and a center turn lane) from downtown or midtown to 72nd. However, most folks on here disagreed with me. I remember a proposal many years ago to widen this section to 6 or possibly even 8 lanes. The idea was to expand it to the sout...

Quite a temperature gradient thus upcoming week. Upper 70s on Monday and down to the teens on Wednesday morning, then right back up to mid 50s, 60s and 70s.

I don't care about Hockey one bit, but I'd be pretty excited about Omaha finally breaking through to the "Big 5" sports realm. I would not argue about its location, other than we have TOO many stadiums/arenas in Downtown already. Only location I'd support would be the civic site as it woul...

I must be the outlier here. I kind of think it sticks out some. Also not a huge fan of how prominent the parking part of it sticks out as you look at it. I thought the new Moxy did a much better job of blending in to the Old Market. I think we were all critical of the parking element back when it w...

If you go to YouTube and look up soft white underbelly, you'll see real quick homeless people are that way because they can't get a job or don't want a job, addicted to drugs, or have mental problems. Those don't seem like things you can fix. It's a losing battle, there will always be homeless peopl...

I am not happy at all with the rockwool blocks. I followed the instructions to acidify them, then started adding very watered down super thrive after most of what came up, came up, probably about 2 weeks and that's for the ones I started on January 1st. Now 3 weeks into the flat I started on Februar...

LOL. I just happened to catch the end of the Xfinity race cause I never turned the TV off. I know nothing of the driver or team, but Austin Hill, the winner, was jubilantly greeted by his crew chief with a big ol "Come on out here you big som b!tch!" And that folks is why I love this sport.

I believe I stayed there in 2016, and the views of downtown were reallynice. If I recall, it was more than $10 per night to park there, so in my opinion it would be ideal to ditch the car. The location is perfect for anyone who wants to go to the zoo during the day and enjoy downtown nightlife in t...

Gah... I'm not unhappy with the result, but it had to be the least exciting 500 I can remember. PLUS I have even more fuel to hate on Brad Keselowski. Dude took half my guys out of the race and we were what, only 5 laps in. He keeps on ruining the 500. I find it fitting he was the start of that fina...

Anybody else stay here? A friend of mine came to town and we stayed here for the Super Bowl last weekend. Just wanted to stay Downtown and out of the house for something different and a little more special. The last hotel in town I stayed in was the Cottonwood, and honestly it was just too nice for ...

I think I remember one year we had a really cold April, maybe 5 years ago or so, it even snowed in Mid -April which is getting late for Omaha. Wouldn’t be surprised if we see that again this year. Yeah, I remember that. Our latest snow and freeze ever was on May 2nd. I too wouldn't be surprised. I ...

I'm gonna spread some random cold weather seeds just for the heck of it. I truly believe they'll come up at this rate.

Busguy2010

Based on that, and they moved the xfinity race to Monday at 11am (assuming ET). So either they desperately try and fit a late night 500 in tomorrow, or have it at maybe 3 or 4 on Monday. I think it'll get moved to Monday after the xfinity race.

Busguy2010

Wouldn't count on any of the races happening on schedule. Looks like nearly 100% chance of rain through Monday morning. Looking like a Monday 500 to me.

Busguy2010

I drove by last Sunday hoping it might have cooled down, but NOPE. There was a line of cars TO 40th! This is gonna take a long while.

Busguy2010

Just crazy its all pretty much gone lol. Sun was out for a little while around noon and it was fine, now its very uncomfortably chilly with the wind.

Okay, great news, it wasn't a terroristic attack. It has recently been identified as "stemming from a dispute between several people". That doesn't change anything for those who got shot, but this wasn't a "mass shooting" in the typical sense. Crazy that there is a "typical...

Good point. Now that you mentioned it, I have some pretty serious doubts that it will stick. Also looks like for a short time, some of it may come down as rain.

Busguy2010

Confidence shot up quite a bit for snow tonight. Now 80% sure about 1-2". I'm alright with it. It's still winter and this'll be gone in no time. Should be a cute little snow and I still love winter ambiance.

It's so hard to see these things. I'm not a man of God by any stretch, but I pray there wasn't a motive. Just completely messed up.

NFL network just reported there's up to 22 injured with gunshot wounds, per KCPD. And 8 or so in extremely critical condition. That changes everything. So sad.

Shooting at the Chiefs Parade, 1 dead, at least 15 injured: https://www.cnn.com/us/live-news/kansas-city-chiefs-parade-shooting-02-14-24/index.html I actually saw it unfold as I had it on in the background. At this point, I wanna say it's a dam shame we can't have anything nice, but as of right now...

Sorry guys, I'm just arguing hard with somebody on YouTube. They really said "Well, Mahomes really should have 5". And I said "Dude, guess who beat him both times?" I haven't heard back yet lol

You never know what could happen. I remember some 10 years ago when everybody was droning on and on about Rodgers being the next GOAT, coming off their Super Bowl win, I think two MVP seasons if not consecutive then within three seasons... and how many Superbowls had he won since? 0. How many did h...

A 3 peat definitely would be remarkable. But still, Tom Brady is in a league of his own. We can talk about Mahomes climbing the ladder for sure. I would say he already has the accolades to be considered #2, over Manning, Montana. He even still has to get one more to match Montana, and there's a whol...

I get most excited for the spring and fall Talladega races. Daytona 500 is great and all, but it's a lot of pageantry and Talladega is the better track. I really, really don't care about anything college if Nebraska or Creighton aren't making any noise. I don't give one hoot about soccer, hockey or ...

Saw a new maneuver the other night when stopped in a line at a stop light, this car came flying down the left turn lane next to me and then swerved back into the reg lane as the light turned green. This exact thing happens almost every cycle at 76th & Dodge. I could never figure out if people j...

This conversation cracks me up. I invite any of you to Memphis and just drive around for a while. Everything you all describe is multiplied here. The cherry on top is the occasional random highway shooting or waiting at an intersection to see a car coming through with guns being shot in the air! I'...

The Chiefs have a generational best QB of all time type playing for them. They’re going to be a tough out as long as he’s wearing a Chiefs uniform… I really hope he gets the three-peat, something Brady and the Hoodie never did. I wouldn’t bet against it… Ciao..LiO…Peace People already calling Mahom...

This year, Detroit got its first playoff win since 1992. I know Lions fans were excited about that. On a disappointing note, I was hoping the Seahawks would make the playoffs this year, but they didn't. The other day Dan Campbell (Lions HC) said something along the lines of "we are going to wi...

I have never seen such bad drivers as I have in Omaha. I have traveled in Chicago, Minneapolis, Nashville, and several other big cities. And Omaha is the worst, hands down. I am talking,... speeding, lane usage, tailgating, running red lights, parking, and more. I find it scary as can be, to be hon...

Looks like there's a system moving through Wednesday night and will affect our temps for a few days following.

Should feel like winter on Friday with a high struggling to reach 30 and what should be a light blanket of snow.

You don't like the Chiefs?

Not now. I used to, but they're ruining the parity of the league atm.
