Have I ever told you I used to live in Oregon? The saga started out in SuperOregon. Then I moved on to the big city, living in Portland about three years. Fun fact about both Standard and SuperOregon: They sometimes get hot in the summer.

One Scaiaholic tweets incessantly about hashtag: transit alternatives. I'm sure he's a thorn in the side of the T, but listen, I'm sure I'm a thorn in their side, too, because I still call them, "The T."

I've been visiting home back in Ohio the past few days. Has anything, say, has anything interesting been happening back in Texas?

Last year, air travel dropped 60%. Apparently, the International Civil Aviation Organization did not take into account the DFW to Dayton, Ohio route. I flew home for a bit last summer on a plane that was full enough to cause me to take a picture.

“It’s sunny out today,” I thought to myself. “Great weather for microphone shovin’.”

As the only millennial who still has cable, I found myself at the house after work this afternoon, flipping back and forth between two timely epics programs: M*A*S*H and Big.

This week, I met the only surviving Medal of Honor recipient from World War II. Woody Williams earned the Medal of Honor for his actions at Iwo Jima.

Loyal Scaiaholics will recall I am, in addition to my tremendous modesty, one of the smartest people on Earth. Each week, Mensa sends a newsletter titled, "Weekly Brainwave."

"Where will we go to get DVDs and ignore the thousands and thousands of books our tax dollars pay for?!" Dallas residents cried out in March of 2020 when the libraries shut down because of the pandemic.

"Good weather for microphone shovin'," I thought to myself as I woke up Thursday morning.

This week, Texas got about two million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine. Despite the pause in the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, local health departments have not paused efforts to improve distribution.

This weekend, the Texas Rangers start their second home stand of 2021. Major League Soccer's FC Dallas also begins its season with a match in Frisco.

The 1994 Montreal Expos had the best record in Major League Baseball. They had done away with the pinwheel hat that drew in Li'l Baby Scaia, but Moises Alou, Pedro Martinez and Montreal native Denis Boucher made up for that, opening up a six game lead in the National League East.

"What could go wrong?!" I think to myself every time I get in a car for work.

Li'l Baby Scaia was a big fan of meteorology. Back in the olden days, I'd space out to The Weather Channel when they, you know, talked about the weather instead of sending Jim Cantore into whatever disaster.

I'm no professional critic, but as the Average Man's Television Review will tell you, I am a college educated male between the ages of 18 and 49, so I'm kind of a big deal. And I'd like to open this blog with a question: Haven't we had enough of unprecedented times?

Earlier this week, I was charged with investigating lines at the vaccine hub at Fair Park in Dallas.

Rolling blackouts have come to an end, giving us the opportunity to argue about face masks again. North Texas has climbed above freezing for the first time since last Saturday.

Rush Limbaugh may have been divisive, but regardless of your position on his politics he was a pioneer.

Not enough people are reading this blog. If only more loyal Scaiaholics had seen last week's post, we might have heeded the warnings to stay home.
