TARC made regional news: https://www.whas11.com/article/news/local/tarc-bus-shortage-leaves-teenager-stranded-after-work/417-552329474 This is not as new of a problem as it seems. For years, TARC has had a problem with late routes (according to myself and a LOT of passengers) and driver shortages (according to a couple of drivers on my routes to and from work). It is not unusual to … Continue reading “Tales from the TARCside”: ‘Driver Shortage’
I think I had gotten spoiled on how well 2018 was going. It wasn't "Greatest Time Ever" but work was going pretty good, my apartment has been awesome, family was doing OK, and, at the beginning, school was going well. Then the end of April and the beginning of May arrived. I had sputtered to … Continue reading Night Walk: “Rough”
It's hard to believe that it's been nearly 2 years since I bought "Darkest Dungeon" for the PC and 1 1/2 years since my first look at the game. Now, I take an early look at 2 new characters that I got from buying 2 DLCs, after the break. Finals for this semester put a delay on … Continue reading First Impressions: “Darkest Dungeons” DLC, Pt. 1

I made my WM predictions here. I was wrong about a lot of the matches. And I had a lot of fun being wrong. Pre-Show “Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal”: I wasn't too excited about this match. It had lost a lot of its luster in the past 2 years, in my opinion. It … Continue reading WrestleMania 34 Review
I'm on the bus, on the way home. The bus driver for the #4 - Iroquois Park bus usually drives an All-Electric bus, similar (but larger) to the cover picture for this post. She was explaining why she no-showed yesterday: the Downtown bus charger wasn't working, so she had to detour about a mile to … Continue reading “Tales from the TARCside”: ‘Thanks!’
As fast as 2018 is marching along, it seemed like "The Showcase of the Immortals" was taking its sweet time arriving. But it's now Sunday morning, a week away from WrestleMania 34! An unexpected sick day allows me to make some WrestleMania predictions early. Check them out after the Break. The card is subject to … Continue reading WrestleMania 34 Predictions
I was looking at a friend's Facebook page and came across a video that she had posted. It was a speech at a graduation ceremony by Denzel Washington. Interspersed with clips from some of his movies, Denzel talks about how he was flunking out of college, how a "look" from a woman at his Mom's … Continue reading “Night Walks”: Motivational Video
