12 years ago today Google killed Reader.

Still haven't forgotten.

Years ago @johntolva.bsky.social and @dansinker.com bought Zach and I these massive 5 foot tall trophie. John's wife and kids went to pick them up and the kids were just *flabbergasted* that you could just *make up something* and buy a trophy for it.

JoCo 2025 now in the history books. This year we brought almost a dozen friends along and it was even more amazing than in years past.

Always a bit sad at the end when the boat is empty, but a reminder that it's the people that make it special. Always the people that make it special.

My Grandmother asked him to sign a book for me and a book for my brother.

And I still have it today.

To be clear: Rosalyn wasn't mad at all, and they all had a good laugh at it when my Grandfather pointed out the obvious (that the president knew how to pose for a photo).

And Jimmy Carter remembered this a few days later when he had a book signing.

And that's how we wound up with this photo of my Grandmother with Former President Carter and his wife Rosalyn

This person followed me 3 hours ago and at that time was following 2.2K people.

Now they're following 17.1K people. WTF
