They have a really cool hill climb competition. There was a car that is electric and has vacuum to suck down to the road and I think last year (?) it set the record.
They're delicious. A bit like cornish game hens. My dad was a hunter and once brought back a healthy take of chukars. We had chukar stew with morels. One of the best meals I've ever had.
It was unclear all season if the San Francisco Giants would call up top prospect Bryce Eldridge from the minors, but an injury to Dominic Smith and a slump from the New York Mets made the team pull the trigger in hopes of jump-starting their offense. Monday in Arizona, the offense remained dead in an 8-1 loss.
With too many back-and-forths to count, the Phillies managed to connect the last punch, winning it in extras, 6-5. In doing so, Philadelphia secured the NL East title and put a big dent in Los Angeles’ rather small chance of potentially running down that number two seed and the incredibly valuable bye it secures.
California freshman goalkeeper Aran Pina earned his first career honor after being named MPSF Men's Water Polo Newcomer of the Week, announced today by the conference.
Pina had a stellar weekend protecting the net for the Golden Bears to help secure three top 15 wins over No. 6 San Jose State, No. 9 Pacific and No. 11 UC Davis, combining for a total of 33 saves and two steals.
Legendary California baseball coach Bob Milano passed away from complications of Alzheimer's disease in Walnut Creek on Monday at the age of 85.
Milano served as the Golden Bears' head coach from 1978-99, guiding Cal to three of its six all-time College World Series appearances and reaching the postseason on a total of six occasions. He is the winningest baseball coach in school history with 688 victories and his No. 7 is one of the program's four retired baseball jerseys.
For the second time in three weeks, California quarterback Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele has been named ACC Rookie of the Week following his week three performance in Cal's win versus Minnesota, announced by the conference office on Monday morning.
The California football team's game on Saturday, Sept. 27 at Boston College is set for a 12:30 PT kickoff on ACC Network, the Atlantic Coast Conference announced on Monday.
The Golden Bears (3-0, 0-0 ACC) will travel to Chestnut Hill next week to face the Eagles (1-2, 0-1 ACC) at Alumni Stadium for their second consecutive road game before returning to Berkeley. It will be the second all-time meeting between Cal and Boston College on the football field and first since 1986.
The right-wing freakout over people "celebrating" Charlie Kirk's death (some of them really weren't, just being critical of the man) is a hilarious inversion of the left-wing "cancel culture" we observed 5-10 years ago. They are making the exact same arguments for why they are brigading and getting people fired from their jobs now. It's freedom of speech, not freedom from consequences! Now that it's people I don't like!
I spent a day along with a couple thousand friends at the Paramount Theater as an extra for filming of The Candidate. No evidence I can be seen in the film.
Wow. There are more than a few films of his that I have enjoyed over the years. The first one I ever saw was not Barefoot in the Park, although I've also seen that one several times, but Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, on its original release. At the Oaks Theater on Solano Ave., which is no longer a theater but a rock climbing gym.
Circa 70...18 year olds. My buddy Spencer and I saw Little Haus and Big Halsy. Arden Fair Cinemas, Sacramento. Inspired us both. His folks allowed him to buy a dirt bike, cause he had a job checking groceries. Me, no job, besides my folks would have vetoed it. 2 months later he had a cast on his leg.
