I’m potentially stranded overseas. If I am I’ll have to try to get pet food shipped to the kennel because I only sent enough….
So, I'm flying home on Saturday. Just got an email from Delta saying that the administration is demanding that they cancel 10% of their flights and ... they're figuring it out. Might be cancelled, might not. Hard to know.
Comforting.

A great song lyric is from Dylan’s “Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again”:
“Your debutante just knows what you need, but I know what you want”.
I thought of that the other day.

I used to get so bored out in right field that I’d squat down to pick the grass. Eventually my dad or one of the coaches would notice and yell at me.
But this guy gets it.

I always say that jaywalking is an imaginary crime (I’m a white guy). So I’ll cross wherever I want.
People ask, aren’t you worried that your safety is your own responsibility.
I tell them, it’s exactly the same in the cross walk with the “walk” light.

Be sure to check *all* directions for inattentive cars. Especially:
- Yellow lights
- Turn arrows
- Stop signs they don't feel like it
- Wrong way on one way streets
- Driveways
- Sidewalks
- Bike lanes
- Trees maybe
- Probably the sky soon idk

Hi @npr.org! We worked late tonight putting together this handy pocket guide!
It doesn't address road design issues, but if we're going to educate road users, we should include drivers.
It's the size of a folded business card. Print it, fold it, put it in your wallet!

Someone disabled comments and quote skeets, but said: I can’t stand people who criticize what you choose to do for a living.

I’ve had a headache since last Friday, feels like unbearable pressure and pain behind my left eye. Went to the doctor and he said that’s a classic migraine.
Holy shit! That’s a migraine. Oh my God, I never knew. I thought a migraine was a “bad headache” but I never imagined.
