After months of renovations on the house, two GotJunk? truckloads, a massive storage unit, and some well-placed buys and sale finds… I’m hosting Thanksgiving at my house tomorrow. I’m actually looking forward to this holiday season more than I have in decades.
A newly-decorated living room, featuring an LED neon over the hearth that reads “Now, here’s a little story I’ve got to tell…”, a decorated Christmas tree, and a sectional couch. If you saw the living room from a year ago, you’d doubt it’s the same house. Tomorrow will be the first real action this dining room has seen in over a decade.

It’s baffling to me, how offended NFL “fans” are by seeing Taylor Swift on broadcasts. Are they pissed off when the team’s ownership is shown after a pivotal play? What about ANY other wife / girlfriend? Don’t you feel foolish, having your identity threatened by a pop star?

What song is this Fab Four singing at karaoke night?
Former Dallas Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson takes the mic during his halftime induction to the Cowboys Ring Of Honor, surrounded by fellow Hall Of Fame players Troy Aikman, Michael Irvin and Emmitt Smith. Johnson is screaming into a wireless mic. It looks like he’s belting out a verse.

I’ve been REALLY enjoying the WANDERERS audiobooks by @chuckwendig.bsky.social, but I had no idea how to spell the central location of Ouray, CO … until I saw an a tourism ad for the town at a central Texas gas pump today. I immediately asked if Black Swan was present. My pump shut down. 👀

There’s analysis during presidential debates on how much time is spent on individual topics. I’d be really curious to see if a similar analysis of the time Joe Davis and John Smoltz talked about the Diamondbacks in between plays, compared to the Rangers. Seriously.

I haven’t lived in a suburban neighborhood since I was a teenager, and never realized the pure joy of Bulk Trash Pickup until now. I was certain I was going to have to whittle this mountain down one filled bin a week.
46 trash bags and one filled garbage bin, on the curb at my house. I’ve been told that “pickers” like to come by overnight to scavenge schtuff - when they hit the food that’s been expired for a decade, they’ll not be pleased.

Shawn Fain's comments on this is are good as hell.
“The billionaires and company executives think us auto workers are just dumb. They think we don't get it. They think we only understand the power of a supervisor yelling at us or an assembly line coming at us.

They look at me and they see some redneck from Indiana. They look at you and see somebody they would never have over for dinner or let ride on their yacht or fly on their private jet.

They think they know us. But us auto workers know better. We may be foul mouthed, but we're strategic. We may get fired up, but we're disciplined, and we may get rowdy, but we're organized. Not everything is about pulling out the bazooka. We've been very careful about how we escalate the strike, and we have designed this strategy to increase pressure on the companies, not to hurt them for its own sake, but to move them, to get them to say yes when they want to say no.

And today is a perfect example of that.”

Starting the third week in my late dad’s house. Haven’t closed my windows yet since the rainstorm in Ft Worth Friday night. Brubeck & Getz are the soundtrack as I do more purging on the house - working on the living room and office. Got through three cabinets yesterday.
A large curio shelf, piled high with … stuff. Costume jewelry, junk mail, candles, receipts, readers, tchotchkes. I don’t know why this shelf is a priority for me - likely because I see it every day.

No industry discriminates against debit card users like auto rental companies. Even when able to pay the deposit that doubles my out-of-pocket cost and provide all of the ident requested… airport locations won’t rent to debit users without a flight ticket. Asinine.

… and part of the reason the nation is in its current conservative tide is that focus on local races is almost nonexistent. NeoCons figured out in the Eighties that when you start local, you can throttle up so much easier.

Few things make me happier than having my favorite team force the national broadcasters to talk about them, instead of gushing about the team they think will be dominant through the game or series. Case in point: the ESPN crew covering the Rangers & Rays wild card matchup.

I want to hold a seance, or Ouija board session. Whatever has the best option for contact. In that session, we would establish communication with my dead father. And the ***only*** question I want to ask is HOW MANY BOTTLES OF SYRUP DID YOU FUCKING NEED, POP?
Over three dozen bottles of pancake syrup, all between 5 - 20 years old, in a pantry I’m cleaning out at my late father’s house.

It hasn’t been easy, to put it mildly. I’ve had a couple of contract gigs, but nothing close to what I budgeted to make, to live here. I’ve applied to a minimum of five jobs each workday since January. No joy. And there's the little matter of the teensy heart attack I had last month. So happy. 2/4

I don't believe in premarital sex or postmarital sex. Sex should, must, and can only happen during the actual wedding, which is between yourself and sex, and begins when you first have sex, and lasts the rest of your sexual life.
