    Property Insurance

    I have a part-rental, part vacation home in Southwest Florida about 10 miles inland from where Hurricane Ian destroyed Fort Myers Beach. In 2021, insurance was about $1,600 with a no-name company that was real shakey. In 2022 when Ian hit I had already switched to USAA for about $2,500. Last...

    Gabby Petito found dead in Wyoming

    We had a situation in my town that reminds me of this. I was out shoveling snow early one morning when the police drove by and said to get in the house because a gunman was on the loose. A home had been invaded and the homeowner shot. Anyway there were helicopters and police cars going around...

    *** Official #6 IOWA STATE vs #2 Houston Game(Day) Thread ***

    Why would you chant overrated against a team that beat you and hung with you at your place. College students are dumb I guess. Sorry college students.

    The game was 2:35 minutes. One of the weirdest games I’ve watched in a long time.

    Muscatine students get all expenses paid trip to China

    I’ve been to China twice. In 2018 and 2019. Great experience both times. The most memorable experience was climbing a part of the Great Wall that looked down into North Korea. We could see North Koreans working in their fields using basic hand tools. That was trippy, thinking about how...

    Big Streaming News

    No kidding. With Youtube TV I am able to record every episode of Little House on the Prairie from the hallmark channel and watch it with my 10-year-old as we get ready in the morning. No $50 streaming package can compete with that. Even nasty Mrs. Oleson from the 1800s would agree if she were...

    Are Free Throws really that hard to make?

    Every once in a while I make shooting baskets in the park part of my exercise routine and I end with 10 free throws. A couple weeks ago I did that two mornings in a row because the weather was nice. Day 1, I made 8 out of 10 and was feeling pretty good about myself. Day 2, I made 4 out of 10...

    It was smart of Baylor to build their arena this way. Camera angle reduces the chance of spying.

    Will someone with graphic design skills make a Cy in a trench coat and sunglasses?

    STUDENT CHANT

    I think it was just the BYU and/or Big 12 admin that asked them to remove the shirts. BYU is very image-conscious. Otherwise people might think the school is weird. But I have no special knowledge about the incident.

    *** Official #7 Kansas vs #23 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    That was a fun game. I was flipping back between ISU vs Kansas and BYU vs Texas, but had to watch the last few minutes of the Iowa State game. Scared me a little bit, but good to see them pull it out.

    *** Official #24 IOWA STATE vs #20 BYU Game(Day) Thread ***

    There's a bit to unpack here. There isn't a real strong correlation between intelligence and religiosity, so calling an individual a moron (who by all accounts is deserving) seems appropriate. Calling a group doesn't. After all, there are Mormon professors at Iowa State. And as you...

    Cyclones bar in Miami?

    Well I've never gone to a place in this area to watch a game, specifically. But all the places I mentioned are in Estero, which is the town just north of Bonita Springs. I've heard Docs Beach house at Bonita Beach is open again, so that might be a possibility. Just north of Estero is Gulf...

    Cyclones bar in Miami?

    I’m sure there are some sports bars. Broward County a little more north might have a few more. If you want to make a day of it and head across the peninsula to Lee or Collier counties and enjoy the gulf beaches, there are a few. Duffy’s, Fords Garage, Marios are close to where I am at the...

    The Iowa State player shouted “The Bible is better than the Book of Mormon!” as the attack happened.
