That same storm came through my area and did some serious damage. 80mph winds. Trees down everywhere. 40% of my county without power.

In a few hours will have a picture of my backyard.

The Detroit Tigers season is a bust. People getting all excited about the prospects the Tigers will get when Tarik Skubal is traded. Allow me to remind everyone what the Tigers got for Verlander back in 2017.....

The Tigers are bidding farewell to a franchise icon and saying hello to three players for the future.
Detroit acquired prospects Franklin Perez, Daz Cameron and Jake Rogers from Houston late Thursday night in exchange for longtime ace Justin Verlander and a player to be named later or cash in a deal completed just before Major League Baseball's waiver trade deadline. All three prospects were ranked in Houston's top 11 with right-handed pitcher Perez at No. 3, outfielder Cameron at No. 9 and catcher Rogers at No. 11.

Have a high pressure system moving in from the west. Temps for the next few days will be in the mid-upper 90s. Down in the PHX metro area they will be 110+.

I do not miss living down there.
