Here is a #GreatKiskadee from October 2023 in the Rio Grande Valley. Loud and energetic fuss made from the topmost branch of a live oak at a Target parking lot. #Ornithology

everyone: what are you doing to mitigate long lines, flight delays, exorbitant cost, lack of space, and overcrowding?

Duffy on what he's doing to improve the airport experience for travelers: "Maybe I want a workout area where people might get some blood flowing doing some pull ups or step ups in the airport."

The people who ask me “Have you ever considered writing a book for adults?” always seem to expect me to say yes. When I say “No.” it becomes so awkward. We just stare at each other, like they expect an explanation or apology for why not.

I know Americans overly romanticize Europe but I still think moving to a little house on a canal in the Netherlands could solve like 82% of my problems

I'll never forget how Sandwich Guy's attorney started her closing:
"This case, ladies and gentlemen, is about a sandwich. A sandwich that according to Agent Lairmore somehow both exploded on his chest in a spray of mustard and onions but also landed intact on the ground still in its Subway wrapper"
"This case, ladies and gentlemen, is about a sandwich. A sandwich that according to Agent Lairmore somehow both exploded on his chest in a spray of mustard and onions but also landed intact on the ground still in its Subway wrapper"
Jurors in sandwich thrower case talk about their deliberations in his trial in Washington, D.C.
Sean Dunn, who threw a "submarine-style sandwich" at a CBP officer in downtown D.C. in July was found not guilty of misdemeanor assault in November.

It may be helpful to you to consider yourself as a writer, as a small business. You may need to jump through the hoops of state licensing, sales taxes and small shop ownership. You aren't alone. Network with other local artists and writers where you live.

My kid's school has largely stopped using the classroom air purifiers that they bought in 2021, because (I'm told) they have no budget for replacing their air filters.

Wake Up Dead Man is more contemplative than the first two Benoit Blanc movies, which I think is a good switch. Not to say it’s not still compelling as a mystery, with some funny lines, because it is. It does seem Rian Johnson had a bit more to get off his mind this time though. I had a great time.

Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

I’d like to make some more friends who are into comics and graphic novels and are educators and librarians. This circle is small… but powerful.

Amused by this despite also being the more social spouse.
When your spouse is the social one, and decides she doesn't want to go to a social obligation/event because she's tired from her marathon walk, it's important to modulate your response carefully: supportive but not to obviously enthusiastic and relieved

Re-purposing food is the single best skill you can acquire in your kitchen adventures.
I'm known as a wizard for two reasons. 1) I can turn almost nothing into a delicious meal. 2) I can turn an old dinner into a new & delicious dinner every time.

Let's normalize saying "Bon Hiver" this time of year. We watched the Northern Exposure episode where they say this the other night, and it felt good to think about celebrating — instead of cursing — the winter season. "Bon Hiver" means "Good Winter," which is a lovely sentiment. Whaddya say?
