Fresh Turkey
I usually get a fresh turkey reserved through Fareway for Christmas but sounds like it's a no-go this year. Anyone know of anywhere in DSM area that sells fresh turkeys? TIA.- Gonzo

RIP: Andy Rourke
A few days late but thought it still warranted a mention. Exceptional bassist for The Smiths. A pretty beautiful eulogy from Moz: "Sometimes one of the most radical things you can do is to speak clearly. When someone dies, out come the usual blandishments … as if their death is there to be... -
New Pepsi Logo
I like that they've gone back to the old-school symmetrical lines within the circle, but am not a fan of the new font. Makes it look kind of like an oil/gas sign IMO. Thoughts? -
History's Greatest of All Time - G.O.A.T.
Not sure if anyone else is checking out this new series on History Channel hosted by Peyton Manning. Thought it'd be a colorful topic for discussion. Episode 1: Stadium Smackdown - the greatest stadiums and arenas of all time. 1. Yankee Stadium (New York, NY) 2. The Collisseum (Rome) 3... -

Car Tires
Younger daughter has a 2009 Jeep Liberty, 106k miles, in decent shape, except for the tires. It's strictly an in-town car, she takes wifey's car or mine anytime she'll be driving 65+ on a highway/interstate. We're going to have this car one more year until she goes to college. Quote for new... -

Oil Changes Ames
ISU daughter going on spring break to Florida. One of her friends had planned to drive her car, but that fell through, so now daughter is taking her car. It's a 2018 Hyundai Elantra. As the overbearing dad I want to get oil change/service before she goes, but Stew Hansen is booked out to April... -
Need Tech Help with Home Speaker
I have a Bose Home Speaker 300 with built-in Alexa, got it maybe a year or 18 months ago. I also subscribed to the Amazon music unlimited. So by simple voice command it'll play pretty much any song we ask Alexa to play. Probably 3-4 weeks ago, the Amazon music thing stopped working. I've spoken... -
Question for Dog Owners
We had our previous lab for 13 years, and she was never comfortable riding in a car. Our fault for not making it a regular thing from when she was a puppy. So when we got our other lab a few years ago, I was going to make it a point to take her in the car regularly so she would be comfortable... -
Fury v. Wilder III
Anyone else looking forward to this Saturday? Interested to see what adjustments Wilder brings. Sounds like Fury is going to come in around 290 lbs., nearly 20 lbs. heavier than their last fight and 40 lbs. heavier than their first fight. I think that could be a mistake, his 273 lbs. last time...- Gonzo

SE Polk v. Dowling
Watching some of this on WHO-TV. Xavier Nwankpa is on a different level out there, speed is unreal. Procter is huge and good, but haven't been overly impressed, he's gotten beaten a few times around the outside by Dowling's DE. Of course the WHO guys jizz on their own faces every time they say... -

TCL TVs?
Getting daughter #1 a TV for her apartment in Ames for this coming year, her and her friends all like Roku, the only thing I'm seeing at Best Buy in the size and price range I want that have Roku integrated are TCLs. I've never owned a TCL. Anyone have experience/knowledge/insights on if TCL is... -
