I thought I was getting better but I am not. Finally did take a nap during the Astros game. And they WON!!! 1 1/2 games up in the playoffs run.


Whoever is making it rain in PA, please stop. They started eliminations at 8:30 this morning and I think they got 2 rounds done. Looks like it is trying to stop.
Nevermind. They just called it for today. Not sure when and where they will finish it.

Kevin Szmyd became obsessed with incandescent lightbulbs in the spring, a few months before new federal regulations effectively banned them in favor of more energy-efficient LEDs. Facing the prospect of losing access forever, he had a bright idea: He would stockpile as many lightbulbs as possible before the Aug. 1 cutoff.
