Bought a robot vacuum on sale last week. It's not one of the super smart ones, but what it lacks in intelligence it makes up in sheer tenacity.
I just mentioned that vacuum to my wife, we just took out some carpet and the amount of dust and dog hair settling on the floor is much more obvious. I don't really want to be mopping/dusting/vacuuming every day.
What kind of surface is it cleaning for you?
Hardwood and typical carpet. So far it's been working fine, although there are a couple transitions between rooms that while it crosses them fine, I think it keeps it in the room longer than it needs to be. Also, we don't run it when the dog's around 😉
It's not too loud, and works well unattended (once shoelaces, charging cords, sandals, and indoor plants have been accounted for)
Oh, a Robotic Vacuum.
I was wondering why you had a filthy robot that was so sensitive you couldn't just get an accessory for a regular vacuum.
We have virtually no robots in our vicinity, hence a robot vacuum
I considered that but was unsure how you would have bought that.
R. I. P. Dutch Rennert, long-time National League umpire known for his unique strike calls, at age eighty-eight.
Speaking of birds, the M.O.U. Sightings page currently features two Citizens' sightings.
You guys look different than I would have expected.
I'm certainly taller than advertised.
Still waiting on MoBirds to accept my rare bird sighting from February :/
Neither Phil's nor my record has been accepted. That takes time (like getting the records committee to meet, which maybe happens annually). No reason they shouldn't be though.
What was your record? If it was a flamingo, waterfowl, parrot, or flashy songbird, provenance may be hard to prove. (Those four are commonly escapees from captivity.)
Second earliest reporting of a Rose-breasted Grosbeak in my county. With photographic evidence.
Sounds like an easy "accept" once they meet to vote on it.
Fenway's pretty cool, and a person should definitely check out Petco.
I'd love to see PNC and AT&T parks.
I'd also love to see Wembley (wouldn't really matter to me if I was seeing a show there or a sporting event).
MSG would also be a must.
But the big one is Wrigley, and I'll be ticking that one off the list (alongside my dad) in a week and a half when we road trip to see the Twins play there.
Which game are you going to?
Friday. We were thinking of going to Saturday, but it's early, so if we wanted to drive straight there, we'd have to leave home at, like 3am.
ah. yeah, we were looking at saturday.
If you change your mind, look us up. We'll be down the right field line in foul territory. 240 or something like that.
I'm actually going to be in Boston on the Sunday the Twins are there but my flight lands too late to catch the game.
My baseball ballpark bucket list:
Pittsburgh (MLB)
San Francisco (MLB)
Hanshin Koshien Stadium
Albuquerque Isotopes Park
Estadio Latinoamericano (Havana)
Estadio de Beisbol Monterrey
Moscow State University
Rickwood Field
Hinchliffe Stadium
Sydney Cricket Ground
Astrodome
Seibudome
Superdome
Alamodome
Ooh. I would also like to hit up El Estadio de Beisbol Monterrey. I'm not sure that's realistic.

Some fun videos to watch.

Heh. It's a Thing!

On Mackey and Judd this morning they had a fun discussion about sporting venues or events that are on your bucket list. Here are mine:
Fenway
Dodger Stadium
PNC Park
AT&T Park
Rosebowl (with Gophers Playing)
Knicks at MSG
Craven Cottage
F.A. Cup final at Wembley
Camp Nou for an El Clasico
Estadio Azteca v. USMNT
Kentucky Derby
Rosebowl (with Gophers Playing)
Ha!
freealonzo has an optimistic life expectancy.
Hey, they could be playing UCLA in the Rose Bowl without actually being in The Rose Bowl.
Or has a lead on time travel.
At last a plausible scenario.
You can check off Dodger Stadium if you’ve ever been to a big box store’s parking lot.
and that parking lot has only one exit.
And smells like sewage.
Fenway's pretty cool, and a person should definitely check out Petco.

Miguel Sano is not in the Fort Myers lineup tonight. I don't know why not.
I'm hoping for a return to the good old days when we pwned Chris Sale
