I suppose if there is any light at the end of this tunnel, it is the fact that the first time I vote in an American election, it's a big one and a memorable one.

Welp. My knuckles are all beat up and I don't have any new spark plugs in my car. I don't have the right socket to get at the plugs...so I dunno. Order another one, or just have someone do it? I'll sleep on it.

Away for the weekend. My stepdaughter and I.

I've always found "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" to be excellent. Even in some of the down seasons, it was great. Thus far, season 18 is incredible!

To answer the titular question from a Canadian's perspective, no one cares. He isn't "needling" Canadians as the article suggests. This is childish nonsense and viewed as such. Is there truly nothing more important to focus on? www.cnn.com/2026/08/27/p...

Family is coming over for dinner and a swim. It's been a nice day.

A pool with a volleyball net across it and a bar and seating area to the left of it. There is an inflatable swan at the far end of the pool.

When my school was cutting my major, I posted something on X about my anxiety and disappointment. A trustee recommended I read some stoicism because he found that it helped him (with no sense of irony that the discipline he was recommending I read was just eliminated by the board he sat on).

I just found out the How Weird Faire was cancelled in San Francisco. With no planning on my part, I found myself there for talks a few years in a row at that time, where I always stayed a couple blocks from it. It was full of kind people and was always very fun. 😩 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_Wei...

I would never claim to be qualified to be the President of the United States, but I did hire a company to refinish my pool and it is neither green, nor peeling. So I got that going for me, which is nice.

Smoking and grinding from the passenger front brake. It looks like Halloween with the amount of smoke coming out. Then, "pop", everything seems normal. Either it was a rock or something jammed in, or something very important just fell off. Nothing to be found on the road. Wish me luck.

My last day in the college-in-prison program until (hopefully) the fall. What an amazing experience I hope I get to enjoy again. There are many logistical challenges that one could never begin to fathom. That said, I get to go to graduation at both facilities I've taught in at the end of the month!

Utica hockey lost in the national quarter finals tonight. I feel badly for my students. They outperformed expectations and outplayed their opponent, out-shooting them 3 to 1. That's a pretty crazy margin for hockey. Get em next year!
