This is who Kruk will always be to me: the guy who lived in fear of Randy Johnson. It’s an entirely rational response, especially in Johnson’s early career when he threw like Nuke LaLoosh.

Gosford Park is great, somehow Julian Fellowes and Robert Altman are a perfect combination. And the cast will have you Vince McMahon-ing all over the place. But… have you not seen Hook?

# If approved, Initiative 2117, repealing 2021's Climate Commitment Act, would put $2.39 billion in funding for transit agencies across the state over the next 16 years at severe risk of evaporating.
