Saturday Rain, Running Pigs & Belgian Brunch

By Jason “Deep Dive” Lord • May 3 2025

A light rain couldn’t dampen the energy—spectators rang cowbells, volunteers blasted upbeat playlists, and an inflatable pink pig mascot trotted alongside runners in ponchos and tutus.

The out‑and‑back course wound along the Ohio River, ducked under Fort Washington Way’s concrete canopies, and finished near Smale Riverfront Park. Chip timing read 35:17—not bad for splashy pavement and sideline selfies!

Post‑Race Feast at Taste of Belgium

  • Jason: Chicken‑biscuit smothered in pepper‑sausage gravy, crowned with a farm‑fresh sunny‑side egg  |  Espresso Martini
  • Kellie: Banana‑Nutella Liège waffle (yeast‑leavened & pearl‑sugar caramelized)  |  Classic Mimosa
  • Side Treat: Extra‑crispy bacon, because protein is recovery fuel 😉

Scenes From the Morning Journey

We bike‑commuted from our Airbnb on Howell Ave—rain covers on saddlebags, winged‑pig mascot strapped to the rack—then hustled to the start just in time for the National Anthem.

Pivot to Over‑the‑Rhine

The Reds game got rained out, so this afternoon we’re diving north into Over‑the‑Rhine (OTR) for a self‑scored bar‑crawl scavenger hunt—rooftop pints at Rhinegeist, subterranean jazz at Ghost Baby, smoked wings at Knockback Nat’s, and free indie sets at MOTR Pub. Stay tuned for tonight’s tally!

OpenAI o3 vs GPT-4 (4.0): A No-Nonsense Comparison Bottom line up-front: OpenAI’s o3 vs GPT-4 (4.0) OpenAI’s o3 (April 2025) is a brand-new “reasoning” model with a 200 K-token context window, a fresher May 2024 knowledge cut-off, native vision I/O, adjustable reasoning modes, and lower per-token prices than the original GPT-4 (“4.0”) from March 2023. GPT-4 still wins on mature benchmarks and instruction-following polish, but o3’s vast context, newer data, multimodal workflow and cheaper pricing make it the more attractive choice when you need big context or integrated image reasoning.

  Smash Burgers & Statues – A Maple Leaf Inn Review Sometimes the best meals come with a bit of character — and not just on the plate. Our visit to the Maple Leaf Inn in Vermontville, Michigan, turned into an experience far beyond just food. It was a snapshot of small-town hospitality, a touch of biker bar culture, and a burger worth writing about.

Maple Leaf Inn’s bar setup is as classic as it gets. From crispy chicken to mini tacos and burger baskets — the menu keeps it real and reasonable. We found a spot at the bar, ordered ...

Danny's Bar & Grill: A Taste of Ohio City Nestled in the cozy confines of Ohio City, Danny's Bar & Grill exudes that classic hometown charm paired with a menu that tantalizes the taste buds.

Featuring a generous half-pound tenderloin, this giant among sandwiches arrived fully loaded, or as the menu endearingly calls it, topped "with the works." What exactly does "the works" entail, you wonder? Ima...
