Tigers and Justin Verlander agree to one-year contract for 2026 season
Really glad to see Verlander return to where it all started for him. Who knows how much can contribute but he does have experience to pass along.

Today for the first time in a month I took a walk outdoors in sweats rather than my full winter gear. Temps are already in the high 30s and could reach the high 40s. And, today pitchers and catchers report to MLB spring training.

I am really getting tired with the cold weather. We have had highs in the teens for days on end, right now it’s 13 out. The highs for the upcoming week are supposed to get to the mid 20s, which will seem warmer, but still below the average temperature of 32 degrees for this time of year.

Last week I shared a quote of James Madison in Federalist 51 that explains how the founds expected Federalism is supposed to prevent tyranny. Today I read an article that I think explains this in more detail, at the heart of it is the tenth amendment.
