Retired weather guru/author Alan Sealls tells us we will be able to see the space station as it moves through our orbit tonight at 6:43 PM for about 4 minutes. This is for our entire area...It is moving West South West to North. If you are not sure what that is then just look up at the sky around that time, say shazam and cross your fingers (my words, not Alan's!)…
Speaking of the sky, and weather, one of the coldest airmasses in a very long time is tracking across the country and will reach the Mobile area around Monday night...it's still too soon to know the exact numbers but it's going to be well below freezing even in Mobile - maybe 18 or 19 degrees. When it gets that cold go ahead and step outside, lick your finger and then press it onto your nose...
The college football world is all a buzz with the announcement of the coach who is replacing Nick Saban for the Alabama team. Kalen DeBoer, who has three National Championship wins under his belt. He was head coach at Sioux Falls, California State and University of Washington before landing this iconic position preceded by Paul Bear Bryant and Nick Saban. New blood, new era, which jettisons hot fuel into the mix for all concerned...
Speaking of music, which we weren't, the music festival world is also all a buzz with line-up announcements by the Hangout Festival, Bonnaroo, Shaky Knees and late line-up announcer Coachella...and as usual, after each annual announcement social media populates with a barrage of complaints about the line-ups, which eventually turn into raves and all these shows sell out before the concert dates - Coachella sold out before they even made the line-up announcement, proving we love to hate our line-ups but you will find us hugging the stage of our non-favorite artists at the show...
Hey guys, if you want to make $20.00 an hour The Buffalo Bills is paying that if you are willing to shovel snow at the Highmark Stadium before the playoff game this Sunday between them and the Pittsburgh Steelers...
This Sunday the Mobile Marathon kicks off and concludes at Mardi Gras Park downtown...the event is presented by Infirmary Health..if you can't race in the event at least drive down there and watch, and maybe some of that health and energy will rub off on you...
Sadly, a homeless person was found dead in Midtown Mobile near the Starbucks...details have not yet been provided, but folks please be aware there are more shelters opening in anticipation of the below freezing weather coming in...the Theodore Dawes Fire Rescue wants us to know that starting Monday at noon the Theodore Church of God will provide winter weather shelter for anyone in need. It will stay open until the 19th or 20th...if you see any homeless out there, or know of any individuals or families who need a warm place, please reach out to them with this information...it's also possible folks can get a ride to the shelter - contact Eric Overstreet for more information 251-228-8454...just saw on the City of Mobile web site transportation shuttles will be at Tillman's Corner Walmart on Monday 12-2 and 4-6, and Cathedral Square downtown 1-3, and 5-7...
The City of Mobile was mentioned in the Wall Street Journal as an "emerging hot spot" for new startups...they must have seen my blog and finally come to their senses....seriously, if you are a start-up or wanting to be one, check in with the Mobile Chamber of Commerce and they might be able to help you start up...
The City of Saraland is strutting it's stuff with announcements of a new outdoor facility called The Land at Saraland which will feature 8 baseball/softball diamonds and a bunch of other multi-purpose fields for football, soccer, field hockey and even lacrosse... the open date is set for this fall...as I recall, Saraland is a national hotspot for youth softball, winning a lot of national titles every year...and while they don't want their competitors to know their secret, I think it's grandma's turnip greens, fried chicken, lima beans and cornbread...don't tell them I told you...
There will be An Evening with Anya Hinkle at The People's Room of Mobile downtown on January 31, 2024...she is on a nationwide tour...get your tickets early because this venue is limited and intimate, is like sitting in the living room with the performer...I recently caught Eric Erdman at this venue...nice!
All of Mobile is excited beyond description at the recent announcement of Judas Priest with special guest Sabaton on the Invincible Shield Tour on May 12, 2024 at the Mobile Civic Center...these metal rocky icons will shake Mobile to the bones that night so if you are one of the two or three people who are not there, and you feel the ground shaking way out in West Mobile, now you know why...
