Yes, there is baseball tonight

If you needed even more proof that there are weird things happening in our world, check out the MLB wildcard standings:

That's right folks, there are four teams in the wildcard. For those of you that don't know, there are only three wildcard slots so I have no idea how they figure there are four teams.

No matter because the Red Sox aren't one of them. They are still 2 games out of the race.

I've got my fingers crossed that Crawford has a stellar outing and the Red Sox take game one from the Rangers.


My youngest and his wife are house shopping so I decided to do a little math.

In 1991, when purchased our home, we paid approximately three times our annual income. In other words, if we earned $50,000, we only looked at $150,000 houses. This 3x rule was something that a lot of people adhered to when buying a home.

Skip forward to 2024 and I started checking out house prices.

HOLY SHIT!

I checked out this nice 3 bedroom ranch in town.

If they were to adhere to the "three times your income" rule that we stuck to, they would need an annual income of $160,000.

No wonder this generation can't afford to buy a house.


I got another emergency email from The Donald:

Wait just a minute...

I thought he gave Rodham the nickname "Crooked"? How can he re-assign that name to Harris? Did he get Rodham's permission?
