Still bad today, hope this posts.

Totally unusable yesterday

Omababe

Significantly worse this morning.

Maybe one out of three tries gives valid results. Many error screens. Lots of times it sits there and spins for several seconds before returning an error or a result.

Omababe

Lots of these errors over the past week or so. It killed a post I was trying to make on Friday (I think).

My current Mista Land Lawd (C-I-L-L)

says that he prefers renting to "more mature" adults, saying that we are more likely to pay on time and don't trash the properties like they younger ones may be likely to do.

Yeah, what's the story with that? I would think that the coaches would be sure that they had a number capable and trained kickers on the roster!

Cokie Roberts, one of my role models. Cancer.

I saw someone riding TWO scooters the other day, fairly early in the morning. One for each foot! Really.

I am in favor of a modern design, big windows, spacious, local food/drinks ( I know I've mentioned this before ). Am I the only one who really doesn't give a rat about so-called "amenities" at airports? When I go to an airport, whether it's Eppley or O'Hare or Grand Junction or whatever, ...

mrsticka wrote: ↑Sat Aug 31, 2019 7:03 pmOh, well then, no. That's not what I meant at all. I meant the coach taking off his headset, throwing it on the ground, breaking it and yelling at officials and being called for unsportsmanlike conduct. It reminded me of Tommy Lasorda.

Or more like Bo?

I don't know how this topic came up last night, but it did. A retired co-worker of mine noted that decades ago, one of the local TV stations (he could not remember which) did regular weekly broadcasts of an Omaha Cardinals game from Rosenblatt. He also said that KFAB and WOW radio used to do regular...

The one case where I think this might be popular (too popular?) would be on football Saturdays. Parking in Lincoln can be a royal pain and, of course, one in your party should not be consuming adult beverages. You would not have to worry about parking and everyone can imbibe, more or less. For a rou...

Back when I first moved to Omaha, and one of my job "duties" was to watch local television :) I remember that during the sports report they would always "take a look at The Association" (the league the then-Royals were in) and flash a shot of the league scores, not just the Omaha...

You guys really think Nebraska is gonna win by 5 touchdowns, lol. South Alabama is supposed to be one of the top 5 worst teams in D1 this year. So on paper, 5 touchdowns makes sense. One thing I did not really think of, which a cow-orker pointed out to me as I was flashing my ticket around, was if ...

Omababe

I saw this on the news and am intrigued by it.

My question is demand.

I'll occasionally see those OMA-LNK shuttles when I'm commuting in the morning and evening, and they look like they run very light most of the time.

I'm just doin it for fun! If I win, hey, I'm $20 richer (or actually $18 and change) and if I lose, well, WOW!

Omababe

Don’t bet on Nebraska. Ever. Well, uh, I just did! :) Sometimes you just have to say "what the {heck}." :) Yeah, I'm expecting it to be a blowout beat-down "Dammit, Osborne, quit running up the score!" type of thing. The bookies are saying that it will be a 5-score beat-down, bu...

Anybody want to talk about the fries though? I don't really care for their fries. I prefer "fatter" fries. I'm trying to remember what kind of fries the original Kings had, as I would kinda assume that D&M would want to do them that way. However, I can't remember them for the life of ...

Omaha folks tend to LOVE chains!

Look at the conversations here, people go all gaga when yet another chain invades (or is rumored to invade) Omaha.

Great news!

They were telling me (the ubiquitous "they") that if the Coaches Poll were extended to 26 teams, Nebraska would be 26. It's obvious that both the media and the coaches have confidence in Scott Frost and the improving team. Let's hope that this is a trend to continue this season. I noticed ...

I plan on betting on all of the Nebraska games. One of the guys at work was questioning whether they will be using local "lines", which will heavily favor Nebraska and Iowa, or if they will be using National lines, which will be calculated to be more of an even chance? Anybody know? I wen...

Omababe

So? Now that legal sports betting is now available to us, how many are planning on betting for or against Nebraska in a few weeks?

How, specifically?

I know these things too! I've worked in media and I haven't spent the last 50+ years on some turnip farm in Manitoba!

I know of one possible scenario where it may have been a production error, but highly unlikely.

and yes, she did mispronounce the name but it wasn't totally her fault as it was misspelled on the prompter.

Another data point here ...

When II flew out just a few hours ago, I glanced at the gate 15 area and the signage for Air Canada, which once was modest but obvious, did not appear to be there. FWIW.

Which any competent techie can easily defeat, I'm sure.

Yesterday after lunch, I and a friend and co-worker, who is an admitted hardcore railfan, drove out to Valley to see this. It was awesome! Fascinating, powerful! We were obviously on the other side of the tracks from where you were. We found the shade of a tree to wait and kind of stayed there, even...

I often avoid the local TV news (yes, it's often THAT bad!) but yesterday I wanted to get a weatherguesser's opinion on how long the showers would last so I kept the news on after Jeopardy. During the plug for the upcoming programs that evening, the newscaster (do not remember who she was) pronounce...

Obvious one might be Jimmy's AAMS.

Culvers? I see you have D&M's and Broncos in there.

Ok, here's a first-person report ... Yesterday I was in Council Bluffs, as I was meeting some others later, and I decided to do some shopping at that exclusive boutique known as Target', which is properly pronounced with the accent aigu, of course. :) :) Anyway, I found myself with about 1/2 hour to...

I filled up there on Friday, which I guess was the first day open. Very convenient! Easy in, easy out, and they had the price a few cents less than the others in the area.
