My Happy Anniversary card

Not at Farm Aid today but at a friend’s farm

Oh.

I've never seen so much anti-American sentiment in Canada in my 48 years alive here. There's always been some. But right now, Canadians mostly seem done with the US.

My favorite part is the pharmacist put the Walgreens bandages on like this.

This is what I worried may happen when I worked for PBS — not just cutting funding but actual broadcast rights. Trump Administration Live Updates: President Says Broadcasters Should Lose Licenses for Criticizing Him www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09...

Currently 😁

Remember when Disney opposed Florida’s “don’t say gay” bill and seemed like it backed free speech? A lifetime ago (actually last year)

OMG (h/t Trivia Mafia)

And, now, some good news

Earler today I played “Wingspan” on Board Game Arena and now I’m watching this fantastic documentary, if you want to know how my unemployment is going. www.imdb.com/title/tt3802...

Oh.

My flight out of Detroit is delayed but Simone Biles is in front of me 😀

Do your mental health a favor and turn this on for today. You really don't want to watch this. It is awful.

Trying to get my bowling league commish to approve my team’s new name: Da Spares Still Suck

What’s one small change that has made a big difference in your life? I changed out the pulls on a ceiling fan today so finally know which one is the fan and which one is the light.

Not a federal worker but also now unemployed because of a political agenda … Happy Labor Day

When you’re checking in for your next trip before you’re home from your current trip.

We’ve been camping across Washington, Montana, Wyoming and the Dakotas this week. Billings, MT last night. Husband: Did the women’s bathroom also have a “No alcohol in the showers” sign? Me: No, it said “No hair dyes in the showers.” 🤣

As seen today in a coffeeshop in Wallace, Idaho. I’ll take the Epstein.

No particular reason

Are Washington (specifically Seattle) radio stations required to play a certain percentage of local musicians like Canadian stations are? I’ve heard Nirvana, Jimi Hendrix, Band of Horses and Eddie Vedder all in the last hour. Not that I’m complaining …

There’s a waitlist for this $27,000 Austin City Limits music festival package … 😆

There’s a guy in a suit coat and tie doing a Zoom meeting at 7 am next to the pool at this campground in Couer D’Alene, Idaho. Love that for him. Also, this was the scene from said campground last night.

Walz: "It boggles my damn mind that in the midst of a military takeover of our cities, the flaunting of the rule of law, that the press finds the need to talk about, 'Oh, there's a division in the Dem Party.' There's a division in my damn house & we're still married and things are good. That's life"

Well, this was fun. www.twincities.com/2025/08/23/m...

My new favorite band name

i bought champagne at costco because it has to happen eventually and i don’t want to be caught unprepared

Bay Beach Amusement Park in Green Bay, Wis., is such a gem. Tickets are 50 cents each and most rides are $1.

I need this, right?

Currently watching Yonder at Mile of Music in Appleton, Wisconsin.

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation should buy what’s left of PBS.

Last night in a Wisconsin dive bar, there was a random button in the middle of the paneling that didn’t seem to turn anything on or off, but we also couldn’t resist pressing it multiple times.

Anyone else going to Mile of Music in Appleton, Wis., this weekend? mileofmusic.com/homepage/
