Nothing but Blue Skies do I see Iowan, Bears fan, cat lover. Political sometimes, but trying to be good to people.

But why is the tap water so much better in Peoria than in Moline? We need to know this. (I don’t actually know the relative quality of medium-size Illinois city water systems, but it sounded good.)

The mayo dispenser that moans produced more than a few complaints to the corporate office, so we canceled the rest of the pilot program, I’m sorry to say.

These contortions are a sign of impressive flexibility from Chief Justice Roberts. I didn’t know he practiced yoga, but it’s great for your physical well-being, so good for him.

I’m currently clipping through the walls of the simulation. This is a five-second time save, but 20% of the time, it crashes the game.

It’s the disassociation of the human from the synthetic and the real from the unreal. I think it results in something that destroys humanity. If we disregard climate change and the escalation of war into a nuclear conflict, then there’s a third thing to destroy us.

Well, I’m mostly English and Scottish. So I’m going to do either the “Henry V” Saint Crispin’s Day speech (“We few, we happy few, we band of brothers”), or the Braveheart speech. Apologies to all Scots.

This is deeply embarrassing stuff, but about what I expect at this point. In upside-down NYT Editorial Board world, everybody simply has to be nice to people with the most repellent positions conceivable. There should be no social consequences for bigotry.

It’s important to know your D&B logistics. I learned this when I accidentally got them stuck in the Suez and disrupted world marine shipping for months.

Some say that, but modern scholars have concluded he was actually a pretty competent jazz guitarist and did a ton of studio work, so I’m pretty sure he could play it anywhere on the neck.
