While half of the staff was out chasing the solar eclipse yesterday, Ally Gallo and I held down our morning broadcast, which was great fun. It's always nice to do a little something different during the week.
Speaking of the eclipse, I thought it was a great event, and I'm happy that people were "in" to something so positive. However, I became sick of the hype weeks ago, and I'm thrilled its over.
I finally used up the last of those flavorless cellophane wrapped jalapeno cheese slices. I will say this. I microwaved a pepperoni sandwich with a couple of those cheese slices on top. It's a good melter!

The Oakland Athletics will play in Oakland for one more year. It's then off to Sacramento for three years, and finally Las Vegas. Yes, the owner is a penny pinching scoundrel who is not investing n the team, but Oakland rarely supported the team. The stadium is the worst in the league. They weren't going to build a new one, so off they go.

It seems like even more people are ignoring Pennsylvania's "wipers on, lights on" law.
