This guy seems pretty cool. I named him Bob. (Unless it's a girl, then I named her Bob.)

Serious question, does Cole Palmer's mom cut his hair, or does he do it himself?

My ass-for-brains neighbor got new deck furniture and put all the old stuff out in the street. Now when two cars come by in opposite directions they have to slow down to let each other pass because they can't both fit. #Suburbia

Just unearthed this masterpiece. Back in about 1990 or 91, someone left it beneath the windshield wiper of a girl I was going out with when we were at the mall. She was not amused. I, however, thought it was funny enough that I still have it all these years later.

In Buffalo for the NCAA Tournament. We have a cool vintage (I assume, haven't had it appraised or anything) dog statue in our room. This means something, I'm sure.

This is apparently the coldest day I've ever put up the outdoor lights. A long section of our gutter was frozen solid, making it impossible to hook on the light clips. Had to resort to zip ties. Couldn't feel my fingertips by the end. Eat your heart out, Clark Griswold.

Scored some major hardware today in our department Halloween contest for best costume. I can never come up with ideas, but somehow this year I got the inspiration to go as Conehead, our local celebrity vendor (Rochester, Buffalo, and vicinity).

Saw @modestmouseoffical.bsky.social tonight for the 4th time (but probably first time since about 1998). It was such a great show. So much fun. Loved it.

Do you love to fart? Are you proud enough of this to proclaim it to the world? (Or at least the portion of the populace that tunes in to a Cardinals-Marlins clash.)
