Vin Scully is a class act. The Dodgers / Major League Baseball will never find a suitable replacement. I like the fact that he is leaving on his own terms and not getting the bum's rush.   :)

The last fling of winter is over ...  The earth, the soil itself, has a dreaming quality about it.  It is warm now to the touch; it has come alive; it hides secrets that in a moment, in a little while, it will tell.

Remember the housing boom of the late 1990s - early 2000s? When the nouveau riche spent all their money on big houses despite knowing nothing of architecture and taste?

McMansion Hell is your guide to what's become of those monsters.

Put together by an amateur architecture buff, the site looks explains what's bad - and not just from an aesthetic point of view - about them.

Poke around and you'll learn quite a bit about residential architecture - history, styles, terminology (panes of glass go in "lights" in windows, for example) - along the way.

Only trouble is, the photos (borrowed from readily available realtor listings - funny how a LOT of these houses are for sale) are generally rather small, making it hard to see the details.

Here's one of the larger (and most viewed) ones:

Oh for sure!  I used autoexec.bat to add DOS commands in Windows, including @ECHO OFF so nobody could see my steps.  First time I have seen that picture though - very funny stuff!   8)

Every State's Grossest Food

"Some have gross names that belie their tastiness. Some have delicious names that belie the fact that they're some dead animal's reproductive organs. Some are just… well, gross. But hey, if you love them, there's nothing wrong with that. We're not here to judge.
 
"Oh wait, yes we are. Here are the grossest, weirdest foods from every state in the US.

Minnesota: Pickle dog

"This is not a hot dog with a pickle on it. This is a lone dill pickle covered in loose, messy sauerkraut, drenched in Thousand Island dressing, and wrapped in a thick-cut slice of roast beef. It's honestly like you lost a bet and had to eat a sandwich made of the weirdest combo of food your (ex-) friend could find in your fridge."

The Taco Bell taco with a shell made of fried chicken isn't a regional food, but I'd put it up there.
