The front lines of the MLB offseason have been quiet, but this is what’s to be expected with a free agent field bolstered with talent. Every team is waiting for one particular move to be made, one franchise-altering decision to finally be announced. If you follow baseball then you undoubtedly already know this and have been waiting patiently for the news to break. You understand this player’s unique set of skills and abilities.

The Lost Art Of License Plates

November 13, 2023Mac LyonsArticles

As far as license plates go, Colorado has one of the best designs in the country. Green background; white mountains. Simplicity at its finest.

Another genre of films exists within the Fall season that is not horror.

I am not a good gambler and I am the opposite of a high-roller. In fact, I am as low of a roller as they come. I’m betting dollars at a time. Single dollars. If I’m feeling dangerous, or really believe in whatever bet I’ve constructed while researching enough statistics to thoroughly convince myself of said bet’s success, then I reach towards five dollars, dare I say, ten.
