Hey remember that time I used a motorcycle trailer to return an air conditioner to the big box store? *rips off shirt*

I took this gentleman out for a walk just as a deer was going by. I was maybe 5 steps from it and this little guy just walks up and pops a squat. No fear

Normally I am pro-roundabout but this looks like a disaster for everyone using it. Who would walk here if they didn't absolutely have to

I got to ride my bike in the woods today.

Where does a dog have to go to take a whiz around here? Also that Brightline logo looks like an invitation for penis-havers...

I just bought a used EV, but during the process I had a thought that needs to be put into the universe: Chevy Impala SS EV dual motor. Something like this. Give me a new full-size sedan, GM.

I traded in my car of 17 1/2 years. I kept telling myself "It's just a car." Sally, you're so much more.

Saw this post two hours ago and had to do it immediately. I'll call my shaping...experimental. But they taste great!

I'm digging through old papers looking for vital records and I came across this letter thanking my parents for their support of President Nixon. Right to the end, I guess. "the President has no intention of resigning" hahaha

A letter dated May 22, 1974, on White House letterhead addressed to my parents: "On behalf of the President, I want to thank you for your thoughtful message of support. Your friendship and the unfailing confidence which you have expressed in the President's leadership mean a great deal to him at this time. Please be assured he will continue to do all that is within his power to merit the faith you have placed in him.You may be certain the President has no intention of resigning, but rather is determined to complete the job the American people elected him to do..." Roland Elliott, Special Assistant to the President.

I've been working on this kid-friendly chat bot in Minecraft. He can't move yet, so he talks about being at Y=64 a lot. I gave him memory so now he is *aware* of being stuck there.

Screenshot from Minecraft showing Thaddeus standing on the edge of the generated world. It is overlaid with text from the chat which reads:

me: good morning buddy, were you standing here all night?
Thaddeus: It looks like we're in a bit of a situation here. I've been stuck at Y=64 for quite some time, but I'm happy to chat with you and help out despite the current state of affairs. As for your question, yes, I was standing up here all night (or rather, the blocky equivalent of it). It's always a pleasure to spend time in this beautiful blocky world with friends like you. What would you like to do today? Explore some caves, build something new, or just chat and enjoy the view from Y=64?

Not cold enough to see the steam here yet. Going to be mid-80s later though and that's pretty steamy

My dad worked for Fairchild in the 80s, building stuff like the A-10 and parts of the space shuttle. Today’s mug is from Family Day 1981 when I got to sit in an A-10.

I was accused of having too many mugs so I thought I’d use them all and share some. Today’s is from when I was a monorail pilot 98-06

We are spending about $3 billion to add two lanes (about 15 lane-miles worth) of I-4 near Disney. The corridor has been bad for years and this will only make it worse. Every day it gets backed up for hours. We could have a train with that money.

Wilson likes to roast while I look out for hawks and such. He is now 14

"Sidewalk closed, use other side" I rode my bike through the hospital parking lot detour but it doesn't cover the whole route. And there is no sidewalk on the other side
