Yeah, I was thinking that, too. Reminds me of a nice little indie album from the 90s I liked a lot. The band is The Mudhens and the album name is Crickets.

Not to mention, the Blue Jays logo is undeniably superior to the Dodgers' logo. It's a frikken bird with the Canadian maple leaf vs. "L.A." in a tired, old style. Sit DOWN LA! You lose this matchup handily.

I don't care how much those seats cost, if I were there with him I'd leave if he didn't shut the hell up.

One of my staff friends asked me what I was reading. So I told her about your book (so far) and then gave her this when I left:

Enjoying a lazy Saturday afternoon at my local, ripping through 'The Night Guest' by Hildur Knútsdóttir. It's fun, funny, and engaging so far. Makes me miss all the cats of Reykjavík (it's not about cats per se as far as I can tell so far). Looking forward to how it goes and ends

I decided this year to get back into watching Baseball. I've been in a fantasy league for almost 30 years but haven't been watching for about 10-15 years. It's a long story but the Red Sox and everything in Boston put me off in about 2011.
Anyway, I think this works now. I'm currently watching this

I dunno. Mammoths are closely related to Elephants, no? I don't think there's anywhere in the world right now that eats Elephant meat? I could be wrong. I think what these people want are those horse-like things. Maybe a Hypohippus?

The MLB Homerun account on Twitter was great, especially if you have a fantasy team. Would be great to see that here. (The NHL Goals is great, too)

Like, this is pure shade. If people still use that term. It's factual! It's 100% factual. But the framing of the information gives it a twisty edge.
It's the journalistic equivalent of a rug pull.

After that, Mooney grabs his mic and says (jokingly?):
Well, this is about the only song I don't actually do main vocals on. So, ahh, to give the other boys, y'know, a bit of a go, I'm gonna go backstage... O.D., and I'll be back in about, y'know, three and a half minutes. I'll see you then.

This Vikings - Lions game should be tied 7-7 instead of Vikes trailing 7-3.

The Design Aesthetics at my local Chili's. I don't hate it and it's a relief from the 80's TGIF driven kitch-fest. But it also makes me think - design or cheaper to maintain?
Whatever, just trying to stay sane. Anything to distract from the dizziness caused by this country swirling down the toilet.
