These appeared near the beginning of the month as usual, but then vanished before I could post them. No idea what happened, but they’re back now. The weather lady with the earring is speaking my language. Enjoy that omelette. And good luck with the gas, David!

Even If I Walk Instead, They’re Still Driving Out There. It’s Been Nice Knowing You
I don’t drive so perhaps I shouldn’t be judging, but I’ve got to tell you that as a passenger, the fact that Uber feels it necessary to prevent its drivers from making left turns and remind them to watch for traffic at intersections is not at all comforting. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety …
No Thanks To The Clowns At Yahoo News, Here Is When You Can Expect The Next Emergency Alert Test
Most of Canada should get itself prepared to jump out of its skin this coming Wednesday, November 16th. At some point that day, there is going to be a test of the Alert Ready emergency alert system. I would love to tell you when, but because some lazy fucker at Yahoo News decided to stick …
My Way Right Away
Hello there, 53-year-old Florida woman. I just wanted to take a few seconds out of my day to tell you that in spite of how things may seem sometimes, things really are going to be ok. For starters, you absolutely appear to have been on the right side of that argument you had with your …

Back Down Sequence Initiated
Man alive. When I made this prediction, I had no idea how right it was going to be. Ford and company, as usual, have made a right mess of things. Also as usual, their tough talk has gotten them where it gets them more often than any government with any sort of clue should ever …
What A Wonderful, And Large, World
I can think of a few people for whom this $600, 60,000 piece jigsaw puzzle that Costco is selling would make a pretty cool gift. The problem is I have no idea where they would put it. The sprawling What a Wonderful World puzzle is actually 60 interconnected 1000-piece puzzles to make assembly (somewhat) feasible. …
