There used to be a set of these along the "canal route" of I135 in Wichita, KS. My favorite professor in college explained them to me and I still think about that often when I drive by the location.

I drove an 81 Bronco when I studied in Lublin in 1993. I took a picture of it with me. Everyone I showed it to asked me, "What do you deliver in that?"

Look, I love berating shitheads as much as anyone, but SCOTUS about to overturn the Voting Rights Act, one of the greatest achievements of public pressure in this nation's history & Dr. King's legacy, is significantly more important than learning (spoiler alert) Young Republicans are racist. 3/3

She was one of the reasons I started working for KBCU when I was 16 years old. I celebrate her life and work.

Thank you, Ms. Stamberg

HS Scholar's Bowl - Name 3 types of printers.

Me - Thermal, laser, impact

HSSB - Incorrect. Dot matrix, daisy wheel, and laser

Me - CHALLENGE! Dot matrix and daisy wheel are both impact printers

HSSB - Challenge DENIED! You do not advance to State High School Scholar's Bowl

What meaningless thing/experience are you still mad about? Like it should not matter at all, DOES not matter at all. But you’re still MAD.

And how long has it been?

I bought some bagels at Hy-Vee four years ago. So bad. Too big. Hard. Bland. WORTHLESS.

I’m still FURIOUS.

Yeah, 17 year old me knew we were going to get hosed when I said "impact printers" and the judge looked at me as if I was speaking Klingon.

As a fellow musical theater kid in his 50s, I recommend Lil Abner. Super silly and fun.
