Since I drive 125 miles from Browns Valley to Cal for home games, the weather might keep me home this year. I really don't want to drive over flooded roads and highways. Damnit!!

Yeah, not gonna' help the butts-in-seats factor. I was thinking people will need waterproof pants and shoes, along with ponchos.

Yeah, supposed to return around 1.

Californians: "OMG, rain, the day's over."

The rest of the country: "WTF? You guys are wimps."

This much is obvious:

“ Write for California is not a live TV or live sports streaming service, and a Write for California subscription never includes access to any live online TV or video stream, including the Cal v. Stanford college football game.”

Did we receive a threatening letter or something?

Hmmm... yeah, sounds like a reactive disclaimer.

When I was the auto writer for the Oakland Tribune I wrote that some sports car stuck like Velcro around corners. I got a letter from Velcro admonishing me that it is a protected brand name and that, in the future, I must use “plastic loop fasteners.” True story. Wish I’d kept it.

Holy Smokes, makes me want to grab a Kleenex and cry.

Yeah, companies have to zealously protect their brand.

It's probably too late for Cal to sue the damned "Cali" logo for ripping off the Script Cal ®. Failure to act in a timely manner is surrender of the rights or something.

I see what you did there, B-80. And yes, another “wait…whut?” moment for our esteemed alma mater. As for auto-writing, “stuck to the road like plastic-loop fasteners” just doesn’t have the same effect, does it? Anyway, thanks for indulging my tangential comment.

I saw a documentary that proves Velcro® was introduced by aliens.

The documentary is called, Men in Black.
