WOW to begin work later this month on upgrade to boost Internet speeds in city
I loved the notice I got of the $7 increase in the mail a few days ago.
Same here...don't think it's coincidence that TV service got really bad just as the switch was made. Have had Sunflower/Knology cable since the late 80s. In all that time, I've never had such bad TV reception as in the last 3 weeks or so. Constant pixilation, audio off about one second from the video, and something I've never experienced: the black screen saying "Not available" or something like that. So I called. Got a guy who seemed to not give a hang, spoke in a jovial tone the whole time and just said "they knew" about the problems. No reason why, no estimate of when it'd be resolved. Haven't noticed any issues with internet. Yet.
Nice.

25 years ago: Manager remembers early days at city pool
Parent: Why are you kicking my kid out of the pool?
Manager: Because he was urinating in the pool.
Parent: Heck, all kids do that.
Manager: Yeah, but not from the diving board.
Used to love going to the pool in the mid to late 70s as a kid. Would usually be left there all afternoon. Get picked up in the late afternoon sunburned, exhausted and happy--if luck was with me, would get to stop at the DQ on Mass. Walking in there was like walking into a meat locker, I swear you could see your breath. It felt wonderful after being out in the sun all day.

When did you last buy a Hallmark card?
Greeting cards in general are one of the biggest ripoffs ever. If I ever need to send one, go to Dollar Tree and get some fairly nice cards...2 for a buck. I'd rather have the $4 instead of a birthday card.

Traveler's Starbucks quest leads him to Lawrence
I read about a guy whose goal was to eat a burger from a restaurant in every county in Kansas (not the McDonald's type). Wouldn't mind doing that. Starbucks? No thanks.

Mexican restaurant Tapas closes as it loses lease on downtown building; Mexquisito expands into Eudora
With the Honeybees? The thought of Mrs. Howell in that wig still kind of freaks me out.

New breakfast spot, The Roost, slated to open in former Milton's location
I remember going there, think they closed up in the early or mid 90s. Never had their breakfast but always had their buffet. Was the only bread pudding I would ever eat. Served cold, and very firm. No idea how they made it but it was always the same.

Would you ever keep chickens in your backyard?
My backyard neighbor keeps some. They're pretty quiet, I didn't know they were there until I saw the coop.
They can make a mess, though. We used to keep about 25 of them, and every other month would have to go out to the chicken house with a big shovel and a trashcan. A few hours of scooping later, the ceiling got about 4" further away from my head than it had been.
I have never been able to make as good of a merrangue as I made with those fresh eggs. The only downside is always having to break each egg into a bowl before actually using it...just in case.
