I operated on my TiVo recently.
Elective surgery.
My TiVo got a hard drive enhancement.
When we got the TiVo a couple of years ago, it was the smallest, cheapest one they had. In fact, it and a year of TiVo service were the cost of a year of TiVo service. For all practical purposes, it was free.
And [...]

Though they’ve only finished 4 games in the SAL 2nd half, the Columbus Catfish are where no other team in the league is right now: undefeated.

Some things never change.
The Columbus Catfish lost a pair of games today because of the weather.
And it wasn’t raining.
Yes, it rained earlier in the day. But it wasn’t raining this afternoon.
And, because of the condition of the field, they couldn’t play baseball.
The outfield was a mess. Water was standing in places, and flowing in others.
Which [...]
