Dark showering. Digging up gold in your backyard.

Another weekend in the books and I finally caved and turned the heat on in the house this morning. It was down to 59° and while I quite enjoy the chilly temps in the house, the wife certainly does NOT.

Oh well. Looking at highs in the low-60’s later this week, so the Harley has yet to be put away completely for the winter.

In the news this morning, the latest on the government shutdown, the Mega Millions jackpot continues to grow, a look at the 50th Anniversary of the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald, and a new policy at Target stores.

In sports, the Bucks split the weekend with a win on Friday and a loss yesterday, the Badger basketball team won and so did the football team!!!! A look at yesterday’s Week 10 action in the NFL and a preview of the Packers/Eagles game tonight. And legendary NBA player & coach, Lenny Wilkins, has died.

We let you know what’s on TV today/tonight, and discussed the rather serious accusations regarding Jeremy Renner. Plus, a recap of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony over the weekend.

Elsewhere in sports, two new betting scandals involving a couple of MLB pitchers and another involving six NCAA players. Plus, the tragic news about Dodgers’ reliever Alex Vesia.

On the flipside of that, we had some feel-good stories about a missing engagement ring on Halloween, a man who dug up a bunch of gold in his backyard while trying to install a pool, and a teacher who set up a cursive club since the school no longer teaches the subject!

If your wife loves those Hallmark holiday movies, here’s a list of cities that look & feel like you’re actually in the movies.

A new health “trend” is something that I’ve done for decades.

And in today’s edition of “Bad News with Happy Music”, we had stories about an A.I. generated country song, a couple of guys trying to steal highway signs, a hotel in Fargo that was cleaning sheets in the hot tub, a guy named “Pancake” who beat up his own father, and a dude who had eye surgery and is allegedly hallucinating since.
