Looking to replace our smoke detectors. When did these become so expensive?
I keep two journals: one daily and one for travel. Why? Who is gonna read this stuff when I am dead? I don’t even read it now.
When it comes to goals Start with your day ones Work your way up to years
Driving anywhere in my neighborhood is an obstacle course. Lots of debris, lots of traffic lights and businesses without power, and people going around cones set up to protect them!
One of my least favorite household games is ‘Insect or Adidas Sandal Nub?’ Thankfully I won this time.
Woke up not to the sounds of chainsaws, but to sounds of my neighbor using a metal dustpan to remove fallen oak leaves from his driveway.
According to precip.ai, my ZIP code received 2.9” of rain from 5 PM to 9 PM.
My basement has water trickling in from the ground. There is a river running on the north of my house. And now the power won’t stay on (how good is our battery backup on the sump?).
Cymbals are really expensive. He must be really mad at someone.

The klezmer-prog-funk band we are seeing is playing ‘Take 5’ but it’s in 6/8.
Tim Curry just couldn’t live in a world without Dolly.
Woke up from a work-stress dream and had to tell my disoriented self that I am in my bedroom, and that there is nothing I need to resolve right now.
I picked the wrong night to go to Costco. Forgot about all of the students. It’s like a midday Saturday.
Finding old emails from a friend who passed away is such a gut punch.
Teach yourself how to spot AI. For example, this is an ad for UPMC, the medical monopoly in Pittsburgh. This woman is smiling. Clearly AI.
The scammers get better every week. I often punch a number into a search engine and it LOOKS legit. It will even pull up real businesses. Try searching the number surrounded by quotes (“”). If it throws a slew of API results at you, it’s a scammer.
