I'm not a sports guy so I can't remember the years/cities of the Olympics. Except Lillehammer because of these fries.
McDonald's Tater Twists (1990-1991, 1994): McDonald's briefly tried their hand at seasoned curly fries in select markets, branded as "Tater Twists", before revisiting the concept three years later in 1994 as "Olympic Twist Fries" to promote the Winter Games in Lillehammer

Never liked the original cover design I did for "Comfort Measures" so I put together a new one. RIYL bleak, nihilistic dystopian scifi.

As someone who has purposefully avoided participating in the gig economy as much as possible for the last decade, I am here to tell you there's another way to live!
Thinking about gig workers in DC right now. The situation has put some clarity towards my long-held feelings:
If I were aware of a business model which relies on putting its workers in precarious positions, I would not contribute to that business model's demand.

After spending a week back in Chicago and New Orleans, I am glad I'm not a drinker because I would absolutely feel like shit today. I still feel like shit because I haven't eaten a vegetable in 7 days and because I'm old, but those are manageable.

We've been leaving the back door open so the strays can come party, but it's led to flies getting in our house. Rob's solution to this problem? Encouraging more spiders to come live inside.
