Moravia has been shocking it in the 1A Baseball tournament and is located in a population 600 or so town. They play in the semi's today. Trivia: Who is the most famous Moravia athletic alum? Machine Gun Molly Bolin of the professional Iowa Cornets. An early Caitlan Clark type gunner who was way ahead of her time. Would have made millions today.

I thought you were going to say I was the most athletic Moravia Alum...

2.5 inches last night in Grimes (NW side of town)

With this rain and the last one, we got a little water in our basement. Not a ton, but enough to make the concrete floor wet along one wall. Not sure if these are anomalies or we need to see if there's a bigger issue. :-/

Our basement used to be this way. Water level would come up and it would seem in from floor cracks and wall cracks. Dehumidifiers couldn't keep up.

Got a new water heater 2 years ago. Rheem heat pump water heater. Acts like a dehumidifier and it eliminated that issue for us. We got a big rebate and prices have gone up 20-30%. From an electricity standpoint, ours would pay for itself is 5-6 years. Current costs with no rebate it would be double. Once you take into account how much electricity savings for not running a dehumidifier, it's probably already paid off for us.

If you have an old water heater, might be worth investigating.

^True. Good news is Lynx have a good coach and seem mostly to have had good team culture and chemistry as one of their foundations over the years. The only outlier to me was when they signed Odyssey Sims a couple of times. I just could never reconcile how he fit in to Reeves culture and system.

Good first game back today for Collier, 22 points and 10 boards in win at Seattle. Seems odd to see Seattle at 6-23.

She has such a smooth game. Makes it look effortless but gets fired up when she needs to.

Today's full size pickup trucks and SUV should require CDL training for as big as they are. It's ridiculous that sitting in a F150 you can't see within 10 feet of the front.

As long as we're on the subject of Jumbo Pick-ups, how about passing a law the trailer hitches can only be on the back of the truck when towing a trailer. Those add another 2 feet to the length of the already too long vehicle. Not to mention the tripping/shin hazard in the dark.

I was hit-and-run by a truck with a trailer hitch backing into a vehicle about 10 years ago. (Somebody left a note. Not the perp. But didn't have license number).

I know quite a few people in their late 50s to early 60s that would retire today, but they cannot afford too because of their health insurance. I was speaking with a classmate over the 4th weekend, I taught with his wife a couple of years, and he said they were paying $2200 a month for insurance for the two of them. That price tag is what is keeping people working and not retiring.

100% that’s why I said semi retired, 20ish years of insurance before Medicaid is just an extremely annoying amount of money to spend

Also, can we stop selling huge pickup trucks to old men? I mean my dad is 80 and drives one and it's terrifying. The whole family quit riding with him. I just see every guy over 70 now buys a giant pickup truck. Let's make it against the law.

Hey wait, you young whipper-snapper! I'm 70 and I just bought a 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe (for obvious reasons). Or did you mean at least reached an age over 70, like 71, say?

Report: Gausman's eight-team no-trade list includes multiple contenders

RHP Kevin Gausman could be a rental option with playoff experience. His 8-team no-trade list just got reported today and the Cubs are not on it.

Not your typical no trade list. Milwaukee Seattle Detroit. Pittsburgh and the White Sox completely understand but both may be legitimate buyers this year.
