So WP offered me this today.
If you could un-invent something, what would it be? A lot. What WOULD I un-invent? I’ll start with Doordash and Grubhub, and other delivery platforms. When we were kids, it was a big deal to have food delivered. Even bigger, since we lived 22 miles out of town and couldn’t do it unless we were…

Blathering on about nothing.
Let’s get to the goodies first. Yesterday, I got bored, so I took a trip up to my favorite antenna farm, 5 miles as the crow flies, more like 15 to drive. And it’s worth every foot of it. All of these were taken yesterday. I went up there to clear my mind, oddly enough.…

Even more “Darn You Kids!”
The Phone Company I’ll bet some of you remember when the phone company was Ma Bell. You got your phone bill from [your area] Bell, probably had a rotary phone somewhere with an actual, physical bell in it. We can debate the merits and downfalls of the great deregulation all day, and at the end…

Sick, part 2
more shopping funthe reverse karenOh, just show me some pictures Do you ever notice how your sleep gets really out of whack when you’re sick? Mine is already out of whack naturally, so I would think maybe it could be back “in whack”? No such luck. I collapsed on the couch in the office around…

Ah, the holidays
And, like that, I’m out. I guess I’m just good on holidays. Every year, the Christmas season seems to start earlier and earlier. Now there’s ‘Pre-Black-Friday’ sales. And this says nothing about the people who have to work during this season. I’m not big on giving gifts to people that already have stuff. I want…

Extreme Couponing
Who doesn’t like to save a buck? Except for the buck that ran headfirst into the side of my car last winter, I’ll save all the bucks I can. But there’s limits. Yesterday, I took my mom to the store, since she needed “a few things”. So, we’re already boned at this point. I don’t…

Snow, part deux
Everywhere but here, as usual. Photos are from CDOT highway cameras from around the state. The furthest one of these from me is about 100 miles from me. Curious? Peek for yourself here. I guess I’m a little weather obsessed, and it’s ok to talk about that, isn’t it? And weather has some interesting connections…

More Stuff
I’ve been lax. Really lax. The only thing I’ve accomplished this week is finalizing the home office/ [not sure what to call it] room. If you’ve been following along, I’ve been slowly consolidating all my sister and niece’s stuff, and taking back the room behind the garage. There is a LOT of stuff. But I’ve…

Mountain Day
Yesterday, me and the neighbor drove up to the antenna farm, since that’s our favorite spot. You’ve seen the pictures, the 70-mile view from there is simply undeniable. We go up there with various high-powered optics, and see what we can see. I was able to see Interstate 80, near Buford, WY I have one…

The lowdown on delivery
Last night just plain got to me. I am normally pretty unflappable when I do my job, considering how much dickdom I have to interact with. To be fair, most customers are perfectly normal human beings. But the dick ratio is skewed, so because the dicks are, well, bigger dicks, they stand out more. Everybody…
