Poker Face was excellent. It captured everything I loved about 70s detective “case of the week” shows. Streaming cancellations are swift and brutal!

Ultimate jump scare: I was more than halfway thru reading “The Shining” for the first time when my ebook library loan expired and I wasn’t allowed to renew!

I know I always conduct a MAJOR renovation on my house before I plan to leave it permanently and peacefully in a few years. Right???
Dramatic photos show construction equipment tearing into the East Wing façade and windows, though the federal agency that oversees such projects has not approved President Trump's 90,000-square-foot, $250 million ballroom. n.pr/48AUON2

If you’re feeling like you need to spice up your day, reconnect with your sense of purpose, I suggest renting a small U-haul truck. It’s fun and makes you feel like you’re getting something done.

How escalator safety mechanisms work — and why they cause machines to stop
