I always found myself grinning when he used the phrase "Top of the world, Ma!"

Right now, there's a storm cell to my northwest and another to the southeast. Of course they're moving northeast. I'm going to be like Jim Cantore reacting to thundersnow when I finally hear the sound of thunder again.

There was a huge flood in 2003, after we had an ungodly amount of rain from July 4-9. The summer of 2015, Salamonie Lake had to close its campground because all the sites were underwater. We had a metric sh*t ton and a half of rain in June that year, then I don't think it rained at all in July or August.

I think everyone has their own "bubble" or "force field" that robs them of the best storms. In northern Indiana, I've always joked Highway 31 is the first barrier storms have to cross, followed by I-69. I tip my hat to the storms that pass both roads without breaking up.

I'm stoked after seeing the 7 day forecast for my area this week. We MIGHT see a thunderstorm where I live! This is so exciting! We haven't had a thunderstorm in over 4 weeks, and only two all year!

Dontrelle Willis laughs at McCade Brown for walking so many batters.

Everything since Mother's Day has been a struggle. This team's mojo is gone.

The high on Tuesday was 87. Today, it's 52. I hate climate change.

Nebraska clinched the Big Ten title today by winning its 8th in a row. Their last loss was 2 weeks ago when we beat them. We've gone in the opposite direction, struggling yet again today.

What an awful week for IU sports.

The Big Ten title is probably out of reach now. We picked a bad time to go into a slump.

Disappointing. Maybe next year we'll get another crack at the Blundering Turd.

I honestly feel this could happen. The last few weeks he was here, he just seemed broken. Another hot take: the FBI scandal broke during the fall of his first season here. Given what we now know about his brother, I've always wondered if Archie cheated at Dayton and was constantly looking over his shoulder throughout his IU tenure.

Not really. The Movement gave us Yogi and 2 Big Ten titles. This class gave us 1 year of Romeo Langford and a handful of mid-major talents.

The 2018 recruiting class might be the most disappointing class I can remember at IU.

Going a little further into this...apparently the Komets refused to play the game because of their opponent having a positive test, hence the forfeit. Wish these guys, and other pro athletes, would just vaccinate and be done with it. No reason whatsoever for games to still be getting cancelled over this.

The Fort Wayne Komets hockey team had a May 4th game at Indianapolis cancelled last week because an Indy player tested positive. Now, a week later, the league is making Komets forfeit for some reason. This is yet another reason why cancelling games because of a positive Covid test is ridiculous and stupid.

Just like the "mask exemption" cards awhile back. I'm surprised it took this long.

South Adams graduates an historically good senior class. They won't be bad, but they won't be a state contender.

I miss the days when Indiana used to get storms in the spring. Now all we get is snow.

My best guess is that covering your mouth and nose (making it slightly harder to breathe) is more invasive to the average person's comfort zone than putting on a shirt or shoes. It's kind of ironic in a way, because I've found that these are often times the kind of people who never miss an opportunity to remind everyone how tough they are and nothing stops them. Also, treading on thin ice with this one, but federal leadership convinced many Americans that masks weren't cool and were a sign of weakness when this all started.

Just looked at a tournament projection from D1baseball.com. They currently have us as one of the last five in. The Big Ten royally screwed us by not allowing non-conference games.

The Fort Wayne Tincaps recently released their guidelines for the upcoming season (which would have already started by now, but alas, Covid). They include: --masks must be worn at all times, unless eating or drinking --people must sit in groups of 1-6, with at least 6 feet between all "pods" of people --no cash transactions allowed, credit cards only (the "cashless society" conspiracy theorists are losing their sh*t over that one) I usually go to a game or two each year, but I won't be going until those rules are scrapped. Masking at an outdoor event where people are required to be spread apart anyway is silly and counterproductive, and cashless transactions just seems like overkill.

Day after Pfizer #1: my arm feels like someone took a sledgehammer to it, but no flu symptoms. I'd probably feel better if the pain in my arm hadn't kept me awake most of the night.

You were far too kind. I would have taken the mask off and coughed in her face.
