Mediacom Outage

I'm just bitching.

How in the hell are they going to say "brief" outage is 7 hours? And that's after they were out until 7:00last night.

Trollies Show on Friday location?

I want to go watch the Trollies but I can't find out if they've made a decision on whether to move it to the Chaincey parking garage or not. Anyone know?

Impression of Matt Olson

Greetings everyone. I am a baseball fan, but not specifically Atlanta, so I don't really follow everyone on the team. I was looking at dWAR and first basemen, and realized that Matt Olson is currently sitting at number 6 ALL TIME for first basemen in dWAR. His overall WAR is actually pretty good too, but the 6th best dWAR in the history of the game was a surprise to me. It's actually better than that. In fact, the list of players with at least 1000 games at first base and positive dWAR is

Cap Anson
Fred Tenney
Matt Olson
Keith Hernandez
Wally Pipp
Chick Gandil

in that order. Nobody else has a positive WAR and at least 1000 games at1B in the history of baseball.

I have not really paid any attention to the Atlanta first base position since Freddie Freeman left, so I'm wondering what Braves fans think about Matt Olson? Were you aware that, according to dWAR, Matt Olson is the third best 1B in history?

What kind of bird is this?

I spotted this guy down by the police station munching on something in the middle of the street. It seemed a bit too big to be a hawk, but also I don't think it's an eagle. Any ideas?

Fireworks from my Roof

I didn't go downtown last night so I climbed on my roof to see if I could see them. Turns out I had a perfect window thru the trees.

Yoga in I.C. for Beginner

Hello all,

I am wondering what are good yoga places for me and my wife to attend. Here's the big catch: My wife isn't all that into exercise.

We are both 50 and in good health, but 50, which means slightly softer and slightly less flexible. I try to exercise when I can, but it is hard to get my wife to exercise, so I want to try yoga. I really like yoga and she has gone with me to the Sunday outdoor yoga before, (couple years ago, not sure if they still do it) and I'm hoping if we can find a nice, friendly place, it would be something we could do together. I can look all the places up on the internet of course, but I'm hoping real humans could give me recommendations.

Lee changes in the last 2 Episodes

I just finished and it seemed like Lee changed all of a sudden. He was more like a Kurt Russell action movie guy instead of the character they developed in the show. Anyone else feel like this?

World Cup at Tulum

I am here and the world cup is getting ready to start on TV. Good prices on Mexican Beers and mostly empty if you are looking for a place to watch.

Weather

That was interesting. My son is a meteorologist major at Oklahoma and he tells me that today and tomorrow in Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois the tornado threats are elevated. This rain today could actually help keep the bad stuff from forming so that's good, but wanted to let people know it may not be over yet. Stay Safe

Why is it so busy tonight?

I picked up my wife from work and was planning to go eat and Iowa City is insanely busy tonight. I have no idea what is happening. Did I miss some big event coming?

Tulum Restaurant is good

My wife and I went to Tulum last night for dinner and it was great. We had the Honduran enchiladas which are much different than Mexican enchiladas and loved them. They are new and not super visible, so I wanted to give a shout out here so people will seek them out. They are next to the Pink Cloud (which one? smh) on Gilbert street right past the light at Bowery and Gilbert.

Also, just so you know, I have no connection to the place at all. I am just glad to have new restaurants with interesting menus in Iowa City. Support the locals.

Well...

I'm old.

But also, turn the TV up, I can't fucking hear it because I spent so much time as a youngster listening to loud music.

Hair Art Closing

I got my hair cut the other day and saw that the owners are retiring. I loved going there for a haircut. No appointment, cash only, quick, cheap, and no chit chat. It was the simplest process and I always got a good haircut.

I will need a new place now, sadly, so does anyone have a suggestion for me that would give me an experience like Hair Art?

NOTE: If you are going to spend your time bitching about something, scroll past. I'm asking for legitimate answers to this question.

I have an orange and he roams our neighborhood (he has a tracker so we know where he is) so whenever I see a picture of an orange on here, I zoom in to see if it's him.
