Happened to me 12 miles from where I was staying in NM Rockies. In a thunderstorm. Fortunately the strangers were kind and I got a ride.

Wasn’t a concern at the Days Inn in Golden CO and Reno…where if I remember correctly I took a hotel washcloth and garbage can of water to wipe salt off the undercarriage from when I drove my 83 Tercel onto the Bonneville Salt Flats because, why not?

True, same. I suspect I didn’t call ahead at 20.

What none of all that helped you with was rerouting for traffic, accidents, construction. So I don’t miss the old days at all. I once blew thru Waze telling me to exit on 95 near Daytona, only to hear “estimated time in traffic, 3:45.” Ooohh noooo!

I remember in late 80s having Triple A guidebooks that had hotel/motel info, and prob called ahead (from a pay phone) if you knew where you were likely to stop for the night.

Back in the early 90s we joked the 11 was a ghost bus b/c none of us had ever seen one in the wild

Not happening. Not enough winable seats up.

Just replaced mine after 4 years, mostly because the inside was breaking down, smelled and also it had been baking in TX sun for many many summer rides.

Oh there’s a person, they’re just doing everything else in the store and will be with you in 47 minutes.

Surprised they haven’t come back for more money from Cornell’s credulous administration. Oh, the Wallet Inspector is back!

Jesus, really? Lived in Scarborough back in the last half of ‘00s, loved being 10 min from the beach. If I ran into that hack…

Geoff Ryan @gwryan913.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

I have some exploring to do!!

Lived in San Antonio when he arrived, he seemed like a really chill well-adjusted dude. Hope he stays that way and thrives.

I got ads for the NC Senate race while watching a Toronto-Islanders game on Prime. I may have been the only registered voter in NC to see that ad.

Geoff Ryan @gwryan913.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

It’s not bad at all here. But yeah wouldn’t leave Boston if I didn’t have to.

They thought they were talking about immigrants in Massachusetts because they’re idiots.

Who better to fix a series?

Geoff Ryan @gwryan913.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Great, White Sox are fixing another series.

Geoff Ryan @gwryan913.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

As a Red Sox fan listening to 3 innings of this drivel, I’m just praying for a 2 game series.

@matt-levine.bsky.social had an interesting point in his excellent newsletter — possibly the most superfluous risk factor ever, b/c who will sue, and where?

I mean, that’s taking “aged beef” a little far…

Congrats! My mom was a librarian (children’s and HS) for years!

How have I never read that?? I could have sworn I did…but I guess not. Downloaded!

You’re making a good case for it.

I’m sorry I can’t hear you over the third gate that isn’t boarding yet but is pleading for people to check their bags because it is a full flight and for some reason their volume is turned to 11. Also my flight isn’t putting the group number up on the screen for reasons

Whataburger is mediocre at best, In-N-Out is the perfect representation of what it aspires to. Also don’t get the fries. (I don’t know why they haven’t solved this).

Geoff Ryan @gwryan913.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Yeah but it’s impossible to get an appointment to even get to the point where they tell you you don’t have the right paperwork.

I remember hearing during the Olympics in the 90s that a brewery gave Georg Hackl, German Luger, a year’s worth (or maybe lifetime) of beer for winning gold

You prob know this but that’s a spam (or scam) account.

Geoff Ryan @gwryan913.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Same, did this in TX a year and a half ago for obvious reasons.

Ah those overly tall and strong punks from Georgetown were asking for it…

Honestly I doubt Trump will pardon anyone beyond immediate family. He doesn’t GAF about anyone.

It’s 4 times a night, almost literally the least a player can do. Of course I was a pitcher and insisted on jogging on and off the field.

Nice! Mallory Rubin and Joanna Robinson have been podcasting about their watch/rewatch on House of R podcast on The Ringer, if you want to lose several hours or have a long drive…

Where the hell is Spyhunter??

Ugh, that’s so miserable. I moved my seat here at the AHL team b/c 3 idiots behind me were yelling all game every game (and weirdly were not at all funny, to anyone else).

Geoff Ryan @gwryan913.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

This was my problem. How can two teams lose?
