Brutal wind today started with nearly zero "ramp up" time (wind advisory issued earlier but it went from nothin' to everything before I could go and lay out the big'uns). Sent our large pumpkins flying about, & Jack's out for the season with a broken base. I was able to get the other guy laid down.

There were so many things like that. I remember getting replies to things months later and even years later from someone who you know literally went in there and searched for any negative mentions of the thing whose honor they felt like they needed to defend.

Really need Gmail to understand that I regularly do things until like 4 or 5 AM and they should stop putting that thing up top saying my Amazon package is "arriving tomorrow" when I'm stiil on leftover yesterday and not on the new today yet.

Ours here has gotten so objectively terrible that I haven't gone in, like, a year at least.

Charles Schulz had this all figured out in 1959.

A black-and-white Peanuts comic (by Charles Schulz) in nine panels.

Panel 1: A “PEANUTS” sign in large letters (with “by Schulz” underneath).

Panel: Linus sits on a small round rug, smiling, putting on his shoes.

Panel: Linus stands, smiling, looking at shoes and saying “Pretty classy!”

Panel 4: Linus (standing) asks Charlie Brown: “How do you like my new shoes?” Charlie Brown replies, “They’re very nice, Linus.”

Panel 5: Linus’s shoes squeaking on the ground, with repeated “squeak squeak squeak” sound effects drawn around his feet.

Panel 6: Linus and Charlie Brown standing facing each other. Linus says, “They kind of squeak though, don’t they?” Charlie Brown, arms at his side, looks on.

Panel 7: Linus, frowning slightly, as Charlie Brown says: “Well, maybe they’re not paid for … I’ve heard it said that your shoes will always squeak until they’re paid for …”

Panel 8: Linus, frustration building, says: “Do you mean to tell me that just because my dad hasn’t paid his bill, I have to walk around in squeaky shoes?” Charlie Brown, with a resigned expression, replies: “I guess that’s right.”

Panel 9: Linus and Charlie Brown lean on a low brick wall, looking outward. Linus exclaims, “Good grief!” “It’s always the children who suffer for the sins of the mother and father!”

Wow, it's almost as if these things are stupid as hell and benefit absolutely no one, no matter who started it.

Sell the whole shit-n-shaboodle to Banana Ball. Extra points for crossing the finish line backwards. One fan challenge (black flag) per race. Restarts must be blindfolded. Alternatively, give it to Alton Brown in his Cutthroat Kitchen era and let teams purchase sabotage rights.

The warp pipe really is it for me. At least in Remastered they throw in a bottomless pit next to it so you can try again. I do find the whole thing slightly more enjoyable on Remastered since I can go on no time limit and no life limit and not worry about making the same mistake 73 times.

Wow, I'm amazed that Google was able to move one of its pages to a different URL and not have any negative impacts on how it appeared in search results. I wonder how they were able to achieve that amazing feat with search results. Google must truly have its finger on the pulse of SEO.
