Cynic. Introverted. Looking for info and opinions of decent people who know more than I do. Please don’t add me to a starter pack. Really, I mentioned the introversion for a reason. Thank you.

Eleven hours later, we experienced an amazing Louisiana sunset and arrived for the Grand New Orleans Adventure. Poor lazy boy barely slept all day and is waiting for the next big thing. More tomorrow.

At some point, I realized he a) thinks this is what I do every day when I go to work and b) we’re going home at the end of this car ride because every car ride ends in home.

I finally gave up and decided to join him in the back seat so he could rest. He took the fucking front seat and wouldn’t give it up. I eventually made him.

Today, out middle-aged boy traveled farther from home than he’s ever been. He traversed 5 states and crossed the Mississippi River one time. All so that I can see my best friend for the first time since last November.

So, for Missouri it’s either last Wednesday or this coming one. MAGAt SOS website says “fourth Wednesday before the election.” Could be 9/30, could be 10/7. We don’t know! www.sos.mo.gov/elections/go...
Your voter registration in Missouri needs to be postmarked by “the fourth Wednesday before the election.” Not sure how they measure that. Either mail it by 10/7 and try or…? (Could have been 9/30–we don’t know!)

This is getting exhausting.
The USDA 2025 “Eat real food” “pyramid” (it’s a triangle. Every kid who has taken first grade know it’s a triangle.) with beef, cheese, ground meat, eggs, milk, oil, frozen vegetables, lettuce, fruits, and rice marked off because they’ve all been recalled for contamination.

He would have been 98 today. That gentleness in his eyes? It sustained me through my youth and my teen years and after. He was the one person who always made me feel loved no matter what. He was brilliant and clever and had the best way with words. Happy birthday, Daddy. I miss you.

She was a force when she first released. And she’s a very savvy business woman. She understands the entertainment industry and what people are hungry for. This was not “normal” in 1983 and we loved it.

2005, Rolling Stone.
A cover of Rolling Stone magazine from July 2005 with a special article on RFK Jr’s (false, non-scientifically supported) claims that vaccines cause autism. Jessica Alba looked fabulous. Too bad she’s one of the three women featured that year and all of them are wearing more skin than clothing. (No shade on the ladies. It is startling to see the year’s worth of covers now, though. She’s a good actress and was treated like dick-bait for sales.)

Please turn the flag around in your logo. aflag.com/flag-etiquet...
Text from the linked page:
1. When displayed either horizontally or vertically against a wall, the union should be uppermost and to the flag’s own right, that is, to the observer’s left. When displayed in a window, the American flag should be displayed in the same way, with the union or blue field to the left of the observer in the street. No other flag or pennant should be placed above, or, if on the same level, to the right of the flag of the United States of America, except during church services conducted by naval chaplains at sea…for personnel of the Navy…when the church pennant may be flown above the flag.
No person shall display the flag of the United Nations of any other national of international flag equal, above, or in a position of superior prominence or honor to, or in place of, the flag of the United States at any place within the United States or any Territory of possession thereof; provided, that nothing in this section shall make unlawful the continuance of the practice heretofore followed of displaying the flag of the United Nations in a positions of equal prominence of honor, and other national flags in positions of equal prominence or honor, with that of the flag of the United States at the headquarters of the United Nations.
