Not watching the news for the last couple of months has been excellent for my health.

How old do you consider old to be?

How is “boobs” swearing? I know, you didn’t build it. But you would know, being a writer and all… 😶

I love that scene.

It’s my understanding that the size increase for American trucks to the level of ridiculousness they are now is a factor of poorly-written fuel economy legislation (by wheelbase) written by the Federal government and the automotive industry’s desire to get around it.

I’ve been saying a while that within a year, Vance will invoke the 25th Amendment, perhaps to keep Trump from doing something really insane, but more likely just as a power grab. And the MAGAs will go ballistic, because no one messes with their hero, and… things will get difficult.

Our yard is a mess this morning after severe winds last night. Glad we didn’t lose a tree, and particularly glad that no trees fell on the house.

If you find one, have a word with them about the 500-character limit. I’m generally happy with the platform except for that one limitation.

We didn’t get near as far as you did. Congrats on having stamina. Questionable use of it, understandable use of alcohol.

I think it’s 2000 characters. Haven’t tested it, though.

Of lesser standing, but still good:

“If this is my thermometer, where is my pen?”

“Alright, now where’s that local woman I’ve got to wrestle?”

What is this /honk of which you speak?
