The Ryder Cup is so much fun. The players are pumped up, and the winds are strong, so there's been a lot of scrambling.
Luckily, I've had a lot of desk work today, so I've had it on while I've been working.
It's fun watching Dechambeau really get a chance to go full throttle in the 4-ball.
415 yard drive?? Madness.
I've been meaning to do it for awhile, but man I waited too long to switch insurance companies. Ridiculous savings...
which flavor? Or a bundle?
I've been with State Farm for auto since I started driving, added home when that became relevant. As a Mutual Company policy holder, I sometimes get "dividend" checks (or something along those lines) for small amounts of money. I looked around at others once a decade or so ago, but didn't see any alternatives that were compelling.
That said, insurance is pretty much a scam. We had a few years ago on our house because of water damage caused by "stucco failure". Had to replace all of our windows because code at the time the house was constructed didn't require flashing and generally sucked (look up "Western One-coat"). Unfortunately, the state legislature had settled class action suits against developers back in the early 2000s, which gave home owners ten years from the completion of construction to sue for damages. Our stucco failure occurred about 18 years after completion. We had a good adjustor and the good fortune of having had a handyman open up some walls to expose water damage. But they paid zero for the exterior repairs (window replacement, stucco repair, painting). Which is absurd, given that it was the exterior damage that was causing the interior damage.
I remember this time, and still feel bad about how I made a stressful situation worse, Doc. I’m sorry.
Water under the bridge, Wyl.
We've had Auto-Owners for a while, but shop it every couple years to make sure it's still competitive. Worst thing you can do is sit on a company for years and let them increase unchecked

Absolutely.
And y'all don't even have "Named Storm" events .... Oh, that's right, they started naming blizzards. nvrmd.
It's Fan Appreciation weekend at Target Field. Tonight's giveaway is a continuation of last night - Twins stocking caps in Mets colors. I think a vendor must have screwed up the order. Saturday is Justin Morneau's induction into the Twins Hall of Fame, with Big Canuk HOF bobbleheads. Sunday is Kids' Day, tykes receive a TC kid's mug, Plenty of seats available.
I'll be there tomorrow and Sunday. Tomorrow is the one game Sheenie specifically has requested to attend in the past five seasons.
Niblet and I will be there Sunday as well. Saints tomorrow night - family and I are escorting Space Ham pregame.
Twins stocking caps in Mets colors would also be essentially Twins stocking caps in (Giants affiliate-era) Minneapolis Millers & St. Paul Saints colors.
I want a TC plaid flap cap someday
I’m thinking of going to Prince night on the 30th.
Winning!
Guess who hasn’t been arrested in now 40 consecutive months!!!
Happy 10½ Anniversary, WGOM!
Those surveys where idiot men say they could beat various animals in a fight...
For those of us who are Doctor Who fans: Russell T. Davies is returning as showrunner. Hopefully, this goes better than when Terry Ryan came back as GM for the Twins.
And for those who are Foundation fans...it's not getting good reviews.
Unfortunately not surprised. I was hoping they could do it but guess not. Now Villeneuve better not disappoint.
The early reviews for that are very positive!

After watching the trailer, I am not shocked. Looked like they were trying to make it an action series.
Worse, they point out the flaws in psychohistory even worse than the book did.
Oopsies.
Ah, the good ol' days of the 1940s and 1950s, the heights of behavioralism and macroeconomics in social sciences.
NYT review: "An ambitious reimagining of the Isaac Asimov epic suffers from by-the-numbers sci-fi plotting."
Me: oh, so it's faithful to Asimov's writing??
I ... could not do this shot
