Cheery, oft weary, rarely dreary, contentedly beery. Capers, Wpg Blue Bombers, Jets, LFC, YNWA. Bowie forever & ever. Amen. And whatever you do, don’t buy American.

Well, if it’s 30 September, it must be... oh God. The 36th anniversary of the first—and, you may not be entirely surprised to hear—only transmission of a sitcom which was genuinely called ‘Heil Honey, I’m Home’, in which Hitler and Eva Braun live next door to Jewish couple Arny and Rosa Goldenstein

So just a show with so very little that would freak me out. No: - ye olde sleepy town with a history of the dark & inexplicable and storied locals dripping warnings with each breath - evil fog & fucking clowns in fucking crawl spaces - hags that lurk in the water & leave marks - dumbass teens

Our ERs are full and wait times are long, even rurally right now. With the measles outbreak earlier this year and its immune compromised effects, I feel a bad viral season approaching. This isn’t good. Please get your seasonal flu, covid, and any other vaccines you’re due for. Thanks!

It’s the 51st anniversary of the first day of the unlikely-sounding Spaghetti House Siege, when three armed robbers went into the Knightsbridge branch of an Italian restaurant chain, staff hid the money from them under a table, police surrounded the building, and they were stuck in there five days
