I love the string & washer envelope closure. So satisfying to unlock and (especially) to wind it shut. Been around in this specific embodiment for at least 100 years. Long may it last. 

I just finished Silo season 3 and I was not prepared for that cameo.

September is Baby Safety Month. Don't you dare put that baby in pelican mouth.

This is the only thing I wanted to keep when my mom passed. Anyone know how I can find the cursed cave from whence they came? I need to return them safely.

Every now and then I amuse myself by looking at Reddit threads where people ask a legal question and there’s always one correct answer, citing previous cases, and 50 other boneheads saying the equivalent of “that’s wrong, if you ask her if she’s a cop she has to tell you.”

I love this man. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6IL...

About once a year I will get an email from classmates dot com and I think it's so sweet that they still exist 20 years after everyone has forgotten about them.

Some time around 1992 a Deadhead I worked with handed me and another guy free tickets to see the Jerry Garcia Band and we turned him down. I barely knew who Jerry was back then.

How about this? Best concerts that you ALMOST got to see but DIDN’T. Include reasons if you like: Rolling Stones (play rehearsal) Johnny Cash (I dallied) R.E.M. (play performance) Nirvana (canceled, college declined to pay requested $500 appearance fee)

I hope he’s having a great day

My mom passed away in her sleep last night at age 94. She was ready.

Shout your name into the wind I'll wiggle in the earth and dew Shout your name into the wind And sometimes I will think of you Shout your name into the wind And if you ever think of me Kneel down and kiss the earth And show me what this thought is worth I'll never hear your voice again.

Literally lived a dad joke: tearing apart my long-neglected treadmill, separating the metal from the plastic and hauling it off to the recycle center was the most exercise I’ve gotten from that thing in years.

Me to Free Facebook group: Take this thing that I don't want anymore and desperately want to get rid of. Some guy: Ahhh, that brings back memories... [long, boring comment that gives me a notification and gives me hope someone might take my thing] Me: do you want to take my thing? Some guy: No.

Me: “I long for a simpler time, free of worries like engagement KPIs and follower counts…” My great-grandfather: “I got the coal dust in my lungs right bad but the company man said their policy didn’t cover that, an’ I didn’t want to be a burden on Mina and the kids so I drownt myself in a crick.”

Did you know that 3D printed covers for Flock cameras are easily printed and make cameras inoperable when you plop them on using a pole? I share this information for no reason at all.

At 5:00 AM from about ten feet away I watched a black bear eat every scrap of food I had with me on a camping trip. I was inexperienced and my bear bag wasn’t hung properly. This story begins the day before with an encounter with a naked couple in the woods who warned us about the bear.
