Commerce City is so weird it is like back in the day when you would make a Sim City and right outside of that city you would put a stadium and a bunch of industruial stuff in its own spot.

I largely avoid live news. I don't see any need to dwell on every horrible thing that happens in the world.

The wife and I have not watched or listened to a news broadcast in over 17 years. The funny thing is, we still learn of the important things and don't get fixated on all the bad around us. It seemed hard and odd at first, now I can't imagine wasting my time on it.

Russia has their army poised to invade the Ukraine just so you'll know something that's going on in the news.

In other news, the NCAA allowed a man who tucks between his legs and grew his hair out to compete in a women's championship event over the weekend and, shockingly, he dominated the event.

Yes - this is talked everywhere including Olympic coverage. See, I told you, big things somehow get communicated. Stop wasting your time with the news (unless it’s Huey Lewis and the News).

That's prolly a good thing, considering someone gets shot out there almost every week.

Are you referring to Denver? If so, that's an odd take. Denver's about average for major cities in terms of murder rates, while KC is #6 in the nation.

You say that like it's a good thing.

Denver is more violent than it used to be. That's the point.


I don't live in Kansas City.

Than it used to be last year? Yes. Than it used to be in the late 80’s and 90’s? Absolutely not. They are like most of the country and have much smaller violent crime rates than the early 90’s. It’s just amplified nowadays because people are walking around with thousands of news sources on demand at their finger tips instead of just catching it on the daily news back then. The world isn’t changing to be this crazy mad house nowadays. It’s just changing how much of it we can see.
