Former journalist, mostly on Gulf Coast w/stint on fog-shrouded Island off coast of NJ. Swamped by an ocean of mediocrity. Advocate for EVs in the heart of the oil and gas industry. Also, fountain pens. It's our duty to call Trump a fascist.

Not sure why Democrats insist on wearing hair shirts and eating their own.

You know what you have to do.

Big fan of fencing. Daughter did epee all through high school, son did foil. Ibti (sabre, Rio Olympics) was son's coach, graduated from same HS year before my daughter. I can score foil and epee but don't even try on sabre.

Aha! This might be why this movie suddenly is showing up in all my mentions. I saw it when it came out, enjoyed it, and promptly forgot it. I have been confused by its reemergence.

Asteroid Day (June 30) seems to have had little impact on us. And we will ignore efforts to turn this into an unconstitutional. Monarchy and go ahead and celebrate the 4th with a fifth. But more important is that this coming Sunday, July 7th, is National Dive Bar Day. You know what you have to do.

I didn't learn until 3rd grade. I was either barefoot or in little cowboy boots until then. Teacher in PE/recess said neither was an option when we were in the gym.

Pro tip update: Last Sunday's pro tip concerned removing metallic taste from OJ with a liberal application of vodka. It works well with tomato juice, too. And you can add Crystal and other flavoring agents to give enough taste even if you have COVID. You can thank me later.

Woohoo. Now that the sun is up, the temps can warm up. We're so lucky.
I think I'll set my thermostat to 80 and go borrow some of the A/C at #NOMA.

Pro tip du jour. When screaming "son of a beach" a pickup truck trying to coal roll you, it is advisable to have autopilot, auto nav and speech recognition disabled. Your destination may change. Upside: a bad day at the beach is better than the best day in an office.

Well, I've got a cousin who is a school teacher in Japan. Comes to the states 2x a year to visit the sister school in NJ. I'm sure he has room in his suitcase.

Saw a kid this morning wearing what I originally thought was a T-shirt for a rap group. As he passed I realized I was wrong. I wonder if he knows what it means.

If anybody asks what sort of car it is (a question that occurs less frequently these days), I just say it's a Camry. After all, it was made in the NUMMI plant operated by that absurd GM/Toyota combo.

Pro tip du jour. If your orange juice tastes off or metallic, usually because of the meds, you can dilute it with champagne, gin, or vodka. I've extensively tested all three this morning and all work. Bonus tip: Not all at once.

Happy #NYTSeersuckerDay! The first day of summer was seersucker day in the #NYT newsroom. An art director and a copy desk chief managed to get many New Yorkers to trade their all-black ensembles for blue (or gray) and white stripes. Didn't need to talk me into it. My son and I were always ready.

Tuesday technology twofer! Power was restored after 12 hours. Entergy's followup text said it was caused by a reliability upgrade. Went to doctor for tuneup/oil change. He used phone in lieu of computer. He said he's part of the hospital's AI test. It's a version of MS Co-Pilot. I'll die now.

Hooboy! 2 utility poles and the attendant transformers self-destructed. Really big bangs and poles and wires all over the street. The neighborhood hasn't had this much excitement since the paving contractor ruptured a gas main last year. A big cheer for grid resiliency.

When I replaced my TV in 2022, I got one that supported NextGen. Still haven't seen any benefits. Outdoor antenna for OTA and internet for streaming.

Color me cranky. I've been going through my list of recurring subscriptions and canceling most of them as unnecessary. Can't ever click a cancel button. Each cancellation is 20+ minutes with a customer retention specialist. There is a special place in hell for them and their corporate masters.
