Chuckles used to work in the PE department at a community college, and when they were moving offices she let me sift through a lot of the "crap" they were throwing away. Treasures. Play a weird party game tonight in her honor. She would like that.
Metal box labeled "A-M" with a bunch of index cards inside sorted by "DEFROSTERS," "STUNTS," "GET ACQUAINTED," "INACTIVE GAMES" "SPECIAL EVENTS" etc. There is also a red kazoo and a dead pink balloon in the box.Detail of "BALLROOM NOVELTIES" section of index cards indicates that there are cards for a snowball dance, informal exchange, "freeze," "skeleton dance," "lemon dance," "number please," "fall back one," and so on. I believe I am going to look further at the lemon dance.

I’m getting pissed off on this leg of the Route 66 tour. AI signs outside one of the oldest and most famous motels on the Route, and seeing numerous souvenir tshirts w AI graphics. Please look at Sullivan’s Pat Mastin mural instead
Hand-painted mural reads “Pat Mastin holds the record for the fastest time driving around the loop” and there is a portrait of a nice smiling lady and also a map of the state park loop she destroyedLarger image of the Pat Mastin mural includes a picture of her as an older lady sitting with her pet collie in the foreground, much older picture of her standing on a bridge next to an albino peacock in the background. You rock, Pat. Much love

Boyfriend jumped in the pool, I jumped in the pool, and then a guy sitting at the pool said he thought the water gave him a rash.
The pool. It could have used some attention but it was cool. This guy was at the pool but he was not the one complaining about a rash. This guy was complaining but he was not at the pool. Also not complaining about a rash, just complaining in general. I think this is Gary.

Saw this very cool wall at a cemetery in OKC today. It’s clearly too weird for the conglomerate owners, who wave nothing about it on the website. It’s Sunday so nobody was working to ask about it. Seems like someone got creative with leftover/failed bricks from the factory

Co-worker got a different result. I tried again with the same exact query.
Google AI Overview:

There are 2 f's in the word "February" (Fefruary/February).

For clarity, here is how the letters break down:
F-e-b-r-u-a-r-y (Note that the phonetic spelling often has an "f" sound, though the standard spelling has only one uppercase 'F' and one 'r' where the second f-sound is written).

I was in a department meeting yesterday slowly realizing that everybody there was using AI for something at work, so today I thought, "Maybe I need to rethink this." Did a little test, and yeah, never mind
(question in box is "how many f's are in february")

Google AI Overview:

There are 3 "f"s in the word "February" (F-e-b-r-u-a-r-y).

It is a common brain teaser to overlook the lowercase 'f's hiding in the middle of the word, but capitalizing it as February makes all three of them stand right out! (F, b, and u in February are in bold)

Oh geez - did you see this one? 🙃
Comment on LinkedIn from Camron Buxton: "Like your story. But there is no more important thing in life than being a good parent to your child.  No job will ever be greater than that of parenthood. Even if you have no job, keep being the best mother you can be for your sweetheart, your child. Never let any job you take let you forget it either. Kids are the most demanding job you will ever have. But they truly are worth every bit of labor and love you can give them.👍❤️"

leadership going 🤓
FB comment reading "This kind of behavior is unacceptable, no matter what side you’re on. Violence will only ever cause escalation. The only way things will be able to come to a solution is by being willing to have civil conversations with others without resorting to insults or mockery. We have to be able to listen to each other with open minds to come to amiable compromises, especially on topics that are so complex."
