Found some snow - coming down pretty good in Montreal tonight - long drive to drop my oldest and spouse off tomorrow at the airport as they move to Spain - but the snow this evening is a delight after a long day.

 

Still lightly snowing as I wake up , looks like maybe an inch or two - really pretty as I look out. Hope we get days like this down here this winter.

It's insane that Harbaugh and EDC continue to believe that this guy is the best they have at the position. He will get Lamar killed and rob Henry of big runs. If they really think he is 'the guy', the GM and HC should be fired. We have a natural guard named Ben Cleveland who plays solid whenever he gets the chance, but is in the Harbaugh doghouse because he isnt 'impressive' in practice. Practice? We talkin bout, practice?

Mammoth is blizzarding at 21 20 degrees with wind gusts to 45.

Village level has 3-4 inches. Main Lodge level has 8-9 inches on the ground with 21 degrees and it is coming down and blowing all over the place! McCoy Station at 9600 feet has 12-14 inches with 18 degrees, Summit at 11000 feet has 20 inches of snow at 14 degrees. Snow all night, at least another 4 inches, then more snow on Thursday from yet another storm in the Pacific Set.

Mammoth is set to Open on Nov 20.

Interesting trade for the Os. Dropping injury prone Grayson for an outfielder, Taylor Ward, with power. Ward has 61 HRs and 178 RBIs in the last two seasons. Meanwhile, Grayson hasn’t pitched since July 2024. One can hope this means the Os will be aggressive with getting pitching help.

Wow. Not sure about this.

I’ve made this point here before, but Rodriguez has logged a total of 572 innings in 8 professional seasons.  I don’t blame the Orioles for moving on.  They’ve been waiting a long time on him.

Four years of control is a lot to give up.  I know Santander was hurt most of last season... but we would not need O'Neil or Ward if we just kept him.

I need to talk about leaf-blowing. Loud, incessant, gas-powered, leaf-blowing. Weekends and holidays filled with leaf-blowing. It is fine to leaf blow your property. Of course! It's a free country yadda yadda. But please for the love of god don't make leaf-blowing your hobby/passion/addiction/creative outlet/meditation practice. I know, it's so satisfying. But please. There's no need to remove every single leaf. Nor to form artistic piles. Flame me if you will TYVM!

Atleast Elias can't use Rodriguez as an excuse now to not sign a front line starting pitcher.

I could just imagine Elias saying "we didn't sign anyone because when Grayson is back we'll have a 3 headed monster at the top of the rotation with Rogers and Braddish"

Ni excuses now for Elias

Lamar has an ankle injury now. After knee and hamstring. Dude is far from 100% clearly. Almost just say to rest this week against the Jets and let Snoop play  and be ready for Thanksgiving. 

He will continue to get beat up as the pocket compresses/collapses due to poor OL play. Terrible job by EDC and also Harbaugh who refuses to explore other options at guard. Again, Hello Ben Cleveland?- a dude Harbaugh was so fired up over and wanted to trade up to get if necessary 5 years ago on draft day. He rots on the bench and remains in the doghouse because Harbaugh doesnt like how he practices. So we continue to see the Faalele embarrassment week after week. Vorhees is almost as bad.

Tons of rain on the radar, but NO RAIN in central Texas.

There's one thing we do damn well - We are The Boss, when it comes to Drought down here. No one does Drought like central Texas. La Nina's helpin us out too, deflecting storm tracks safely away from my backyard.

I'll forecast this storm. No one does this like yours truly down here, and I have only been here 7 years.

Dallas, They will have frantic water rescues by 3am. 3 to 9 inches easily. Most of the rain will pass safely over Austin. We *MIGHT* eke out half an inch. 

Yeah, that really helps. We are now the fastest growing megalopolis (Dallas/Austin/Buda/Kyle/SanMarcos/San Antonio) in the World. We passed Dubai and the entire UAE last year. WE WILL RUN OUT OF WATER. When THAT happens, water will be far more expensive than gasoline. Every major business is heading for Austin. This place is already a madhouse in rush hour. It's gonna get MUCH, MUCH worse. Everyone in New York City is heading down here, too. We'll add 3 million in the next 12 months! New Yorkers can't stand the snow and the cold, that is why so many people are suddenly moving out of NYC. All that snow is bad for business up there. Austin does not get snow. We don't get rain, either. Not much. Well north usually gets the rain. That would be Dallas, Oklahoma and Missouri, Louisiana.

You know what I think? The lack of water in Texas will eventually cause another exodus, this time farther east, to pastures that get much more water, like New Orleans. Nightlife there is stellar, too, and they have casinos. Texas never will. This place is permanently stuck in the 1950s. Except for traffic and water shortages straight out of the 2090s.
