41-14 Baylor up at half. Poor OSU, refs don’t like calling fouls on their opponent.

66-21 after 3. Don’t really need to watch more bad bb today. Back for ISU wbb later.

You would think after 40 years I would have seen all the weird ways people can automate their systems and then the DOT for the State of Washington proves me wrong

Long slow lines to get into Municipal Aud. this time. And we’re sitting in the WVU end. Oh, well, plenty more ISU folks here tonight.

Very cool! Which row? I’ll wave to you from section 34.

We're in sec 28, so we'd be hard to see since we're right around the corner from ya. But, we're sticking

Doing press again this year?
Nope. We had GA, were sitting in the front row of the "third deck", and a Phillips 66 rep asked if we wanted to move up. Heck yes!

We're sticking around for K-State & Teja$. Gonna lend some cheering power to them.

Went to Classic Cup in Country Club Plaza for breakfast. Discovered it some years ago during a Big12 tournament trip. Most there had ISU gear on,
Had a tire low pressure light on, so tried our brand new portable “inflator tool” when we got back from breakfast. Worked like a charm and so fast! Should have bought one years ago.

I couldn't even get maps to pull stuff up on this. I got it late, only due to having to find a speck of dirt in the middle of an ocean and actually islands and countries not even allowed to be entered in it. This was like making us use a specific name of one Aleutian island.

Is this what your portable inflator tool looks like?

Went by a little pond the other day must have been a couple of hundred Canada Geese on it. If you ever wanted to feed the hungry that would be a good start. net em, club em, clean em, roast them up.
My brother worked for a while in NE Arkansas years ago. When we were driving through there on the way back from the Liberty Bowl a few years ago he was telling me about hunting down there. Apparently it is all about the ducks and they hate geese. Hunters will shoot pickup beds full of geese just to kill them and make more room for the ducks. They won't eat them because - did I mention? - they are all about the ducks, but if they are feeling charitable they might donate them to some food program or something. Generally though, they just trash them. What a waste.

So I just got my proposed property tax valuation for 2023 in the mail. My valuation went up about 21% and the taxable valuation went up over 24%! We haven't done any changes to the house. I'm wondering if it will do any good to talk to the assessor about this...

Compare it to recent sales similar to your house. If you know an appraiser that is local, see if they can help you with a few similar ones.

And Baylor seems to be running away from Oklahoma.
