A moderate is today’s right-of-center conservative who avoids fully embracing MAGA.

So I wondered if I was being too restrictive in my dating profile criteria, and expanded the selection to include folks who marked themselves as "moderate," because maybe they don't mean what I think they do by that.

Went on a coffee date this past weekend.

I have learned from my error.

The only "Baggage" I acknowledge is the dating show hosted by Jerry Springer.

Every few years I'll learn that there's a show called, like, "Baggage" where Greg Kinnear plays a TSA supervisor with a troubled past, and that my parents have watched 150 episodes of it.

It's similar to a rooster.

I had a sandwich and it made me want more sandwich, which is the opposite of what a sandwich is supposed to do

I thought I spotted an Eastern Bluebird recently, but it turned out to be an Indigo Bunting.

Take a bird, leave a bird.

Here are four bird pics -- the conclusion of the EPIC BLUEBIRD SAGA which wasn't really epic nor was it a saga but here it is, in four snaps.

Photos by me.
Series of photos (1 out of 4) showing two bluebirds -- the male on a post, facing away, his electric blue feathers on full display. And coming in hot from the sky is the LADY BLUEBIRD, less colorful and more blue-gray, who is about to fuck his shit up. I dunno if this is a mating thing, or if she's just trying to beat the shit out of him, but she's definitely divebombing his head. Maybe he's into that sort of thing. I won't judge. Whether this is a spat or a mating ritual (or both, no shame), who can say? I'm not a licensed birdologist. In this photo her wings are in, tucked back like an F-14 Tomcat, and she's just dropping out of orbit.

In this photo, she has made contact with the male, who is now like WTF as she is nearly all the way on top of him. Chaos reigns.

He looks like he's about to fall off the post, which would be pretty embarrassing for a bird. Do birds ever just like, fall? I've seen my dog trip on stuff and that's pretty embarrassing. It's like, you got four legs, dog, have some grace, jeez. Photo by me, Chuck Wendig Series of photos (4 out of 4) -- now it's down to just the male bluebird who is kind of doing this HOVERBIRB thing as he goes to leave the top of the post and go after the female, who is out of frame.

Congress should find a way to eliminate Dogecoin.
