…either united 93 was shot down or the USAF was incompetent; i put odds on competence…
…i prefer wall-eyed stereograms because cross-eyed orientation makes the picture look tiny…
…i totally thought that was wheat and lentil penne sautéed with crumbled sausage…
…our local grocer stocks vegan gummies; sadly they’re not very good…
…i reset my browser daily, so i only have the past twenty-four hours of browsing history…

…that’s really only an hour or so of browsing between returning home last night and this morning, not including the bulk of my time at work yesterday…
…i tried to live with public transit in marin county: just commuting to my job was three hours each way, with a very narrow window of opportunity for walking to a grocer at my transfer hub and no recourse on nights when i had to work late…
…hah!..well that kind of superfandom commands my respect even if the material doesn’t earn it: dorks dorking-out over dorky things are always cool in my opinion…
…so, like, it was a walmart-exclusive live television broadcast?..was there a live audience at the perfromance or was he just playing to an empty studio?..how’d that work, like, did they set up chairs in front of a special big-screen at each location or did you just stand around the electronics department for two hours?..
…garth brooks reminds me a lot of taylor swift; totally not my jam but you do you…
…i thought someone stuck googley-eyes on its closed eyelids…
…heck, may parents’ first litton microwave took three grown men to move and we barely managed at that…
…i give everyone i work with stickers when they do a good job, and they all go crazy for them: interns, bosses, the lot!..
…our CEO rolled his eyes at first and said they were patronising, then the entire staff catcalled him over it, so he changed his mind and loves getting stickers now, too…
(i think that’s half the reason why armed forces do ribbons)
…i got honorable mention in the history fair in fourth grade; i think i still have the ribbon in a box…
…how about jupiter’s moon?..
…i don’t know if i have very interesting stories about the folks who dug in; mostly that ferraris have a reputation for not keeping up with the group on account of breakdowns when driven hard…more entertaining were the rally-star trailer queens which slowed down to crawl over every cattleguard or fresh roadwork for fear of marring their pristine clearcoats while the exotic road cars flew right through, welcoming the well-earned miles…
…a lot of us drive open-topped in light rain - as long as you keep moving the cabin stays fairly dry - but we’ve been caught in torrential downpours a couple of times and come through soaked to the bone before managing to pull off and raise our various tops and targas…next sunny day, you open everything up, let it dry out completely, and follow-up with a detail if it still bothers you…
…when a group of twenty or thirty high-profile cars pull into a small town fuel station, it can draw a lot of attention, positive and negative, but not so much when we pull into a remote roadhouse since those tend to be more common destinations…
…for folks really into the scene, the real rock stars were cars driven in open road races, not the trailer queens: it’s a modest culture which respects real-world capability and experience more than flashy showmanship…use it or lose it, as they say…
…that’s how we brushed with baking soda when i grew up: pour a little pile into your off hand, wet your brush, dip, scrub, repeat…
