1. Here's a page with a downloadable urine color chart. Hang it above your toilet. (On a serious note, this chart was hanging above the urinal at the glass bottle factory I visited in Virginia. Very useful in that sort of environment.)

   1. Our EH&S (Environmental, Health and Safety) specialist at the ethanol plant hung one of those charts above above the urinals in the men's room. Sadly, it was not the least useful thing he did during his short employment with us.

      1. Sorry, you started it... Asparagus->urine sulphur. She: no. Me: yes

         1. this was a recent point of discussion at our dinner table (the Girl is interning in a plant biology lab). Yes, we have some weird family discussions.

2. Project Encounter AMR, day 1: no success. I did see a woman who appeared to be commuting by means of a pair of green-wheeled roller skates.

   1. I am confused. You first say you didn't see AMR and then you describe seeing him?

      1. Well, she was neither bearded nor carrying a black backpack. So either he was lying yesterday, or it wasn't him.

         1. I tried to encounter AMR once. I led by name-dropping Philo, and it was all down hill from there.

            1. My understanding from Pepper is that if you name-drop Philo, it doesn't make a sound because it doesn't fall far enough to make an audible impact.

               1. Oh, mama.

            2. Oh hey! I remember you!
               You didn't have a handle then.

               1. I'll make a point of saying "hi" again, given the opportunity. Perhaps the next time my kids are sneezing all over yours at church.

                  1. or vice versa. Which mass is your regular?

                     1. about 86 kg.

                        1. at rest, anyway.

                     2. We've been trying for 9am, but fall back to 11 when Sunday morning chaos reigns.

                        1. 9am is ours most times.
                           11am just seems to burn the whole day.

   2. We could like exchange photos, but I think this is more fun.
      I was there between 7:50 and 8:00. I saved a stunned Tennessee Warbler from being pancaked on 3rd at Marquette.

      1. I agree--it's definitely more fun this way.

         I was there at 8:15. Better luck next week!

         1. watch for the sign

               1. Tulowitzki?

3. Tulo is awesome!

   1. Yeah, that's pretty great.

   2. Perfect. I liked the Rockies' manager's response, too.

   3. Tulo is very high in my list of favorite non-Twins players.

4. Souhan thinks the Timberwolves should think radically about their coaching hire - look at hiring an Olympic head coach:
   "They could hire David Blatt."

   The story's not all that interesting and the majority of the comments are typical stribbie garbage. This exchange made me smile:

   Excellent thinking from outside the box Jim, and it is another example of why I consider you the best sportswriter in the country!

   Halyed: is that you, Souhan?

   @sidhartmann With a comment like you made it goes to show your mentality, which already is in question by selecting the handle you did. I guess it is not appropriate to congratulate or support someone who you feel is doing an excellent job in your eyes, but again, I feel Jim Souhan is the best in the business, and cheers go out to him for doing an excellent job!

   Only Souhan or a member of the Flat Earth Society would make, let alone defend, that statement. It would be generous to say Jim is intellectually lazy on all things sports writing related; topic, content, style, editing. . .

5. has anyone else had trouble logging in, or had the welcome to nginx screen?

   1. I haven't seen the nginx screen since the move, but I wouldn't be surprised it's possible to get. It might be a caching thing too. I have had trouble logging in sometimes; doing the exact same thing on the failed login screen has always worked however.

6. In-N-Out should offer her free coffee for life.

   1. "It's amazing that they would refuse to call 911, and then give her ice treatment which makes it worse," Chen's lawyer, Kirk Boyd, said in a statement.

      It's a fast food employee; it's not like he's staying at Holiday Inn Express or anything.

7. Have been doing a lot of close work on the house. Most recent project was back door, and have moved on to the storm window by the barbecue grill. Yes, I'm in no hurry. Found this interesting.

   1. And when I did this with the squeeze gun it did not go as smoothly...
      Notice he does not have a roll of paper towels at hand to clean up the mess.

      Oh, and get a can. And a rag.

      1. I don't believe this dude is from Columbia, SoCar. He talks way too fast.

         1. Magic dust. This couldn't be any better.
            That's how you glaze a window.

8. If this baseball thing doesnt work out, Aaron Hicks might have a fall back plan

   Mike Berardino ‏@MikeBerardino 9m
   Aaron Hicks shot an 80 at Pebble Beach on the off day. 4 birdies, including par-5 6th, 2nd-hardest hole on course. Beat Bill Mauer by 2.

   1. IIRC, baseball was his fallback from golf.

      1. I seem to remember that, too.
