Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
This story of someone befriending and then ripping off a blind lady is another example of something I could see very easily happening to me if I just did one thing wrong. It also illustrates why, when someone offers to “help me” by taking my stuff, I’m not exactly willing to hand it over. I …

Donna sent me a video and it made me chuckle. Ray Jessel sounds like he’d be a lot of fun. He kind of reminds me of the old man in the video in this post, although not exactly. I think it’s more funny than it should be, just because there’s an 84-year-old doing it. Anyway, …
I can’t remember if I’ve posted this before, and if I have, which is super possible since there’s so much stuff on here, oops. A long time ago when computers were huge and vacuum-tube-powered, Alan Turing, you know, *the* Alan Turing, figured out how to make them sing. The recording of it was put away, …

Gill is really firing out the posts this week! It’s kind of funny. I’ve been on both sides of this scenario. There’s my old post about people who don’t speak the language but say “yes” anyway. I had a more recent experience with that. I was in Nashville a few years ago for my awesome …
Update: I don’t know whether somebody on AMI’s website team was a hide and seek champion in a previous life or what, but for reasons known only to them, all of the below episode links are broken. This is at least the second time this has happened. The first time I (Steve) was unimpressed, but …

There are a couple of service dog-related things I wanted to write down. I have been meaning to for a while, but they keep getting lost. Sometimes, when I’m following someone, and we slow down, the person I’m following will start saying, “Come on puppy, come this way, come on!” Then they wonder why I …
Quick note: I’ve updated the section about Audible Canada. Between last Christmas and my birthday, Steve created a monster; a book-devouring monster. Here’s how. First, he bought me Aftershokz Bluez2S headphones. Those things, although not perfect, are pretty cool. I can walk around, still hear, and listen to stuff from my phone. This made me …
I have some time, so I figured I should write about the two black beasts I know so the post doesn’t grow into a monster. Tansy went to the vet for her annual checkup a month or so ago, and they said she looked great. They did comment that she does have a tiny bit …
When I heard about this woman and her eyeball tattoo gone wrong, all I could think of was this really old post. I guess this woman is really into body modification, i.e. adding and subtracting things from her body just for fun. She’s even had her tongue surgically split. Yeesh! So she thought tattooing the …

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jc_BFM_wJMU This story, although kind of sad, makes me laugh. It’s definitely odd. It seems this fellow who just moved to a new apartment discovered that someone in his midst has a hate on for trombones. Sam and a lady friend had been living in Dixon. But this summer she got a job offer in …
