FAQs

At least I think they should be.

Cycle alerts

Yellow alert - Player needs triple for cycle
Orange alert - Player needs double for cycle
Red alert - Player need single for cycle

If a player needs a home run for the cycle, the level of the alert varies depending upon the determination of the Cycle Detection Warning System, which is headquartered in Thief River Falls, Minnesota.

This may be the first time I've seen you in a short sleeved shirt.

BTW, Did you get a pic of the Carmen Salvino display in the Bowling HOF?

My camera could not properly capture the relief in Carmen Salvino's plaque.

My bowling score is classified.

If I ever golfed that, I would have been ecstatic.

While Bob is off galavanting in Frump Town, I was at the home of the Golden Domers. I found out (almost the hard way) that 40 miles west of the South Bend airport is in the Central time zone, while South Bend is in the Eastern.

Mandatory uniforms for librarians is the saddest thing I've heard all day. I usually really enjoy crossing picket lines, but that's one strike I'd honor.

I'm waiting for the fried ravioli pictures.

Have some for me, Bob. But don't have a coronary.

I had fried ravioli last night. I'm trying to think what I've eaten that isn't fried. I believe the state of Missouri is deep-fried.

6 I went to visit my sister when she graduated J-School from Mizzou. I was amazed at the culinary norms in Missourah.

Lots and lots of fried stuff. I guess it's sufficiently South enough to do the whole "fry everything" deal.

I'd like to see a study on slave state vs. free state fried foods disparities. Isn't that what research universities are supposed to be doing?

If I could golf my bowling score I'd be happy too.

"The Adam's Mark: We put the fun in fungible!"

I too recently stayed in an Adam's Mark (Buffalo) and laughed at the use of "fungible." What is especially funny to me about this program is that Adam's Mark has a total of SEVEN hotels in their system.

Fungible? Perhaps.

Practical, from a traveler's perspective, given alternatives like Starwood Preferred Guest, Hilton HHonors, and Marriott Rewards? Not even close.
