So aggravating! Recently we heard "your road was closed" when it was just a nearby intersection, and the driver obv. didn't bother to reroute. Separately, we were once told "we delivered it" and it took a long time for them to admit that their proof was a photo of the package *inside the truck*.

So, my new slogan is "Ranked choice voting: your dog can do it and so can you."

Hard to choose just one, since Joy Division and The Specials debuted and Pink Floyd's The Wall came out that same year as well. But these three stand out for me:

I’m one hop from almost every astronaut (via Mary C, Tony E, and if I count Buzz Aldrin…a stretch…even more!) and most major political figures via Al Gore (there’s no way he remembers me, but he offered me a job), and big names in science vis many many acquaintances.

Lovely. Here are the back (and front) of my Accutron, just before I sent it out for servicing. These are cool watches, and I love the hum of the tuning fork!

(So yeah, I have two space nerd watches. That’s my whole collection, assuming you don’t count the beat up Timex Ironman I wear when running!)

Dang. Like I mentioned above, out of my league. Well done and congrats on a classic!

Hah! Had a long phone call with him once, but this was pre-Zoom so I have no idea how he decided when my time was up… 😀

The Apollo 15, non-Omega (out of my league!) Moonwatch. Coincidentally, that was the all U-M engineers mission, so it resonates that way too for me.

An excellent choice, though not what was on the original sign. Sadly, we've had too many right (grim pun intended, in retrospect) answers of late.

“Men like ______ is why we need Planned Parenthood”.

They had a name in the blank, but you don’t need me to fill it in. Call it “choose your own misadventure” instead.

Also: “Fight Truth Decay”.

Maybe a little too far down the cute and clever spectrum, but I’m obviously not immune to cute and clever.

Another fine one: “So bad even introverts are here.”

I feel seen. (And in this case it’s okay!)

Sorry to hear about the dog and your daughter and pals. Sounds awful! And yeah, maybe they are really bad/extra east to provoke this year?
