I appreciate having the reputation of Guy Who Knows Things™️, but when it leads to questions regarding the homecoming parade route and its associated road closures I do start to wonder what people think I actually do here.

Is it bad when you’re on day three of an activity and still have “Plan [activity]” on your whiteboard because the group responsible for delivering the thing hasn’t? It’s pure read-and-react at this point.

Called my shop at 7:00 this morning. Talked to the service scheduler when he got in at 8:15. Dropped the car off twenty minutes later and was told it should be ready by the end of the day. Got a call just before 11 to tell me I could come pick it up. Gotta say, I’m impressed.

So the good news is that my car's brake fluid is clear and shows no signs of degradation. The bad news is that a quantity of it is on the inside of my left-front rim.

Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano

Looking at the kid's senior photos (taken by a friend on campus), and we're all having a laugh at how many of them fall into either the “Let me put you behind the wheel of a new KIA!” or the “Have you been injured in a truck accident?” category.

$4.929 at Costco this morning. We’re going through a repeat of a few months ago where nobody wants to be the first to break $5 (it was $4 then) so watching Costco's price creep up towards everybody else’s is the only indication that they’re still climbing.

Forget to mention it, but it was curriculum night at the kid's school last night and I’m still trying to figure out why one of the band kids was warming up on trumpet with 2 Unlimited's Twilight Zone.

Look, I’m as opposed to device surveillance as anyone but when a feature is explicitly described as having to be turned on by the user it’s not “always-on”.

Went to Meijer Gardens this afternoon. It was only this evening that I realized I had photos from our first visit in 2003 in my library. It’s wild seeing the same sculptures in the same places with 23 years of growth around them.

Oh my. I did not know this:
The Don Hornsby Show (also billed as The Anchor Hocking Show) (1950)

Don "Creesh" Hornsby, a rising 26-year-old comic, was slated to host American television's first-ever late night variety show for NBC. Hornsby suddenly died from a rapid onset of polio the day he was to host his first episode. On May 22, 1950, after a one-week delay, NBC went ahead with the basic format, launching Broadway Open House with Jerry Lester in what would have been Hornsby's time slot. That series would form the most basic structure of the late night television format, and eventually be re-formed as NBC's enduring franchise, The Tonight Show.
