  1. The Ivy League Look was nonpartisan. Daniel Patrick Moynihan comes to mind as a contemporary Dem example. HW was the GOAT though. There’s a great photo shoot contrasting his rumpled sack suit and prep tie look against James Baker’s very boxy, modern suit.
  2. xBA of .910 on Doobie’s.
  3. It’s a thing.
  4. Oh I’m aware, but I’m not sure many olds do (or can even afford to downsize even with Prop 19).
  5. 😂 top comment: “$75M is my favorite Twins player. I love watching $75M play baseball for the Twins. One day I hope to see $75M retired alongside my heroes Joe Mauer, Roster Flexibility, Kirby Puckett, and Team Control.”
  6. My thoughts was always, “Fuckin’ Prop 13, man”.
  7. I drove through Crescent City in October 2020 and they already had Trump 2024 signs out. So, fingers crossed.
  8. The Tigers were sellers, though, and they were kicking themselves when their season turned around. I don’t disagree with you, but anyways, Rome seemed to scoff at the possibility an hour ago:
  9. The rise (revival?) of farmed Gulf oysters does not get a tenth of the attention it deserves. Murder Points are fantastic.
  10. 6 pitches. I replied to an email and Yainer had already doubled.
  11. Yes, Smith Rock is great (maybe too hot right now?). My AllTrails notes are not great but we liked Green Lakes and Tumalo Falls hikes.
  12. Bend Brewing is classic. I like Crux Fermentation Brewpub. Brook Closet is a cool tiny bar in the McMenamin’s Hotel.
  13. A few years ago we were heading to the Coliseum to see the Astros in town. Stopped at West Oakland Station and a very sketchy Richard Ramirez doppleganger walked on and tried to open the back door of the train. Old guy next to him noped the fuck out and I realized he had a gun tucked in his pants. Grabbed my very pregnant wife and made it off just before the doors closed. One of my regular bartenders likes to say that he doesn’t know how he is going to die, but he does know it will be on BART.
  14. Interesting. Oakland* had their Jason Williams-like DA controversy but with a successful recall, the new DA is a former prosecutor. *(Yes I know Alameda County)
  15. I’d say we are down to a 2019 sketch level.
  16. I will say, since several visitors have mentioned this to me, that the sketchy areas adjacent to Union Square and Moscone are night and day from what they were a few years ago. Yes it’s a performative push by the new mayor /no CR, but downtown is finally beginning to get some real momentum going.
  17. But with whistle tips.
  18. Sorry, it was a joke. We drive over to Temescal all the time.
  19. The airport area is legit bad but Oakland gets an unfair rap. It’s been over two years since they last found a body in the lake!
