Welcome back to Nocturnes Magazine, an inside-Wumbo Wednesday inside look at my diceball team in an attempt to get the Hippo to write an unabridged history of the several hundred year reign of Bernard Gilkey at Pretend Man City.

Allegheny County 9-1-1, what's the address--- oh, so(u)rry. Force of habit and whatnot. Actually, if yinz didn't know, there's a pre-recorded bump of that message so we don't shred our vocal chords repeating it dozens of times a day. There are many other phrases we repeat dozens of times of day

THREE SHORT DAYS before the possible self-implosion of American society as we know/love/tolerate it.  And we can't even get a full, distracting slate of fixtures. OK, Barcodes and Gooners to start (8:30, USA) ain't too bad.  But then USA shows...Sham Town and Everton?? (11:00).  Even HIPPO won't enjoy watching that car
