The book about salt is a white NaCl thrill ride.

Turns out it won't get you a face-to-face with your congressperson if you show up at their office and repeatedly shout "REPRESENTATIVE" at their staffers.

Foolish tornado, you cannot harm me! It is the first Wednesday of the month at 1pm!

Donald Trump wants to spend your taxpayer dollars separating families and building new ICE prisons. In 2016, I voted against reopening this prison in Appleton. In the Senate, I'm not going to send one more penny to this lawless, out-of-control agency. Let's rip ICE apart.

I think this day of the week should be a half day for everybody. We can call it... Tuesdays With More Ease.

When it finally happens, do you suppose there's a way we can fly flags at DOUBLE staff?

Gotta do some work on the garage but darn it slightly too warm for me to do that comfortably.

Milk has secured the sunbeam.

I wonder if the friends I've had most of my life are angry at me because they're old fogies and I'm still so hip and with it.

Can you still say "COWABUNGA!" when jumping into a pool or has that been completely co-opted by the ninja turtles?

So my prediction about a goal in the opening 10 minutes was spot on. We don't need to dwell on which team I thought would score.

The IDS seems have sprung a leak or 40.

It's been weeks since a hardcopy library hold was ready and now one's in transit. Yay excuse to visit the library!

Glad I put Minnehaha Creek on my Fantasy Water Flow team this week.

*Still* the best final line in all of cinema, and I'm absolutely serious when I say that.

Well, if ever there was a sign that I should wear a Hawaiian shirt to work tomorrow:

“PSA: Now that my case is settled, you are free to refer to @FBIDirectorKash as a ‘chud,’ a ‘googly-eyed Kremlin bitch,’ and a ‘traitor’ without fear of legal repercussions!” trib.al/e8IVBnp

Ask your doctor if Humility® is right for you.

Going out for groceries. If I spontaneously combust on contact with the outside air tell my wife, "I told you I would spontaneously combust on contact with the outside air."

1/ Some chatter about who’s funding those Angie Craig ads. One prominent group, North Star Dawn, is about 3/4s a hedge fund dude from Connecticut and several All of Mpls (Frey) donors, including longtime DFL anti-lefty Vance Opperman & Roger Hale; both former CEOs. 1/x www.fec.gov/data/receipt...

I AM ANGRY AT THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE. A SHINY NICKEL TO THE FIRST PERSON TO MAKE IT GO AWAY.

This ref's non-calls are... interesting.

Wife found a stack of my old headshots. The 11yo is looking at them laughing at how much older I look now. #IGetNoRespect

Hmm, work computer needs to install updates and restart. Better do that right now so I'm forced to go read in the break room.

Anyone need a court jester or fool? I'm looking to get into the fast-paced world of telling royalty unpleasant truths and also taking pies to the face.

Finally finished A People's History of the United States. Needed a palate cleanser so now I'm reading about a Finnish actuary that gangsters are trying to murder at an adventure park. (The Rabbit Factor by Antti Tuomainnen.)
