My 2020 sign (top), like me, has been getting a little ragged around the edges lately.

Girl, same.

Made a replacement in my shop, hope we both last long enough to see these values return to places where weak, bullying people have banished them.

Shut down my Twitter space bots and the folks still over there are dropping all kinds of wild slurs at me in their quote-tweets.

235,000 people have seen my @bocaroad quit notice so far which is wild, I’ll never have that big of an audience again. Ugh.

But staying would be way worse.

Fuck Nazis.

Truth, this is a candid photo of me explaining the advantages of common bulkheads to my wife

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but 12 minutes at 250° in my air fryer makes perfect ‘soft boiled’ eggs as a one-step, easier-than-boiling process.

In this case, it was chicken-class duck eggs so the numbers should be 1:1.

Pictured: Old Man Yells At Cloud

The clouds covered enough of the light at points where the eclipse glasses couldn’t make out anything but at the same time, weren’t blocking enough light that it felt safe to really stare at it.

But we saw something, I’ll take it.

It’s October 3rd, how will YOU celebrate Mean Girls day?

I enjoy sneaking this shirt into memorable family photos to give my wife image-cropping challenges.

Going in for a procedure today so if things go upside down, the news will have the best possible photo to use.

Bonus: It looks quite fetch.
