Air conditioning going out on a weekend when it is 105 outside and your property management company isn't available on weekends. 0/10 do not recommend
MLB screws a lot up, but one thing they got very right: including MILB with MLB-dot-TV subscriptions. Really enjoying that I can tune into a Fort Myers Might Mussels game to see Vahn Lackey and Carson Tinney (and others)
I was pleasantly surprised to see Substack add this "Scan for AI text" feature. Now you can know that for better or worse, it's all me.

Nothing like having no notice that people would be replacing the roof of my house today. They showed up to start work at 645am. Still at it at 615pm. Thankfully my wife got our vehicles out of the garage because the entire front yard and driveway is blocked. Happy Thursday.

The number of news outlets using the phrase "Former Olympian" today is discouraging. Once an Olympian, always an Olympian.
Not sure about you, but I am looking forward to a two hour broadcast of what celebrities are at San Francisco Stadium
