It shouldn't be only me who was thrilled by the news of this morning. Two words for me: Blizzard and 68.7B. The anticipation that the once greatest but strayed studio might return

Last Friday, I visited Big Sur. It was a weekday, but my daughter didn't have a class that day so that we could enjoy the less crowded beach. It is my pleasure to have one of California's most beautiful coastlines within a 2-hour driving distance. 0:

The Giants' 2021 season has been ended. I believe both teams deserved a win. But I believe it was not the 'correct' scene for one of the league's best teams to end the season. > This "swing" ended the Giants' season ... pic.
