Hey, neat, a sellout! Now I don't have to wait to assign bib numbers or print up preregistrant lists, and I won't have to do any data entry on race morning! Of course, if you are a friend of mine and are desperate to get into Greasy-Gooney this year, I may consider it...

Yikes, Greasy-Gooney is unexpectedly popular this year! I'm guessing we'll sell out within the next week. I *may* allow close personal friends and/or people with a lot of previous G-G finishes to weasel their way in after we're sold out, but I'd much rather you sign up now. 🤣

Had a hitchhiker riding with me this morning! It REALLY wanted to stay there on my windshield wiper. Started getting worried about the poor thing as I was getting up to highway speed, so I wound up pulling over and encouraging it to fly off to safety.

I say we must move forward, not backward; upward, not forward; and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom.

The number one crime plaguing America today: Reading glasses theft. We must protect our precious reading glasses at all costs!

Y'all don't understand the thrill I got out of rolling up in my brown Scion xB behind an identical brown Scion xB in Front Royal today. 😎 It's like meeting another guy named "Karsten"-- it pretty much never happens.

It's reassuring to know I'm not eating potato chips made from those fake potatoes I've heard so much about.

I was much more vigilant about tick prevention after having dealt with a Lyme infection... which wasn't enough to stop me from getting it again. 😡 Gave up trail running after that. Not worth my health. And the most effective way to avoid tick-borne illness is to avoid exposure entirely.

(4/4) And unfortunately I see tattered flags all the time out here in the valley. The example pictured here is at a local public school, believe it or not! Again, this does not offend me per se, but it definitely irks me a bit. Rant over. 🤣🇺🇸

(3/4) So it irritates me when people who care enough to fly the flag also don't care enough to follow flag etiquette, letting a flag fall apart without replacing it.

(2/4) At the same time, though, my grandfather, Frederick J. Trost Sr., Captain, U.S. Navy (Retired), made a point to teach me & my siblings about proper flag etiquette when we were young.

Big pet peeve of mine, appropriate for Flag Day: Tattered flags. Now, I'm not at all into symbolism, so I don't view flags as being sacred, and I feel like people have the right to treat a flag however they wish. (1/4)
