me 10 years ago: when my kid gets bigger it’ll be a lot more fun to go on adventurous vacations with him

No, federal protective services are responsible for federally owned and leased facilities. You can call local PD if there's imminent risk of destrucyion or death, but they will also alert FPS.

President Carter was the first president I remember. I thought he was Mr. Rogers' brother because they both were kind, spoke softly, and wore cardigans. RIP Mr. Carter, thank you for your service in all its forms.

Name a TV show you’re positive no one remembers but you.

(No one was ready for a sitcom about a middle-aged white guy who gets divorced and moves to the Pacific Northwest to host a radio talk show.)

Oh wow... and the Blue Jackets are up 5-1 on the Bruins. Yeah.... weird night #nhl

Watching the Ducks lead the Stars 3-0 feels weird #nhl

Definitely more entertaining hockey than tank-the-season-for-the-draft-but-swear-that-we're-not hockey.

⚾️ Cubs
🏈 Bears
🏈 U Tennessee Knoxville
🏒 Blackhawks, Min Wild
🏒 Icehogs, Admirals
