Huh, apparently there is an issue at a water plant down in Sanford, FL where we used to live causing the water to stink. The smell got bad the city had to issue a statement. Really glad we aren’t there anymore. Having to deal with stink on top of heat is not pleasant.

Had a nice long call with Buster. Sounds like he'll be coming home sooner rather than later. Was thinking I wouldn't see him til Thanksgiving, but might be coming home in a week or two at most. Been missing him a lot and will be so glad to have him home. And for other reasons...

Got the car alignment taken care of and fixed the headlight. They found the issue was a connector that had part of it totally burned out. Like it was singed. Explained why the light was inconsistent is going on or off lately. Now I just gotta hit the supermarket for a couple things for dinner.

If you use protein supplements check the list out in the article. Some of these have a LOT of lead from testing and should be aware just in case.

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

Watching the Lions/Chiefs game with my folks. Even though he isn’t here, I can imagine Buster here yelling at the TV and grumbling when the Chiefs mess up. Definitely missing him.

I was super gung ho to get a switch for Pokémon ZA, but the more I’ve seen of it, the more hesitant I’m becoming. I’m hoping it’s good but feel like I should wait until trusted reviews come out. Do want the switch 2, but want to have a good reason to pick one up.

Love to see ants by the back door right before leaving for dinner with my parents. Especially because the Orkin treatments should prevent this. Going to be calling them first thing tomorrow. Also need to see if there’s any tiny holes under the patio door they can find.

While I definitely enjoy going out to eat with my parents, I haven’t done it so many days in a row like I have been and I’m paying for it. Horrible stomach problems from eating all that rich food. Steakhouse on Thursday, Italian yesterday, and Mexican today. Just one more night…

A scanned image of a sketchpage. The early life cycle of a wolf is depicted in drawings and text: "Take a wolf." [a quadrupedal wolf.] "Make him bipedal." [He is standing on two plantigrade legs.] "Dress him in clothes from the department store." [He wears pants and a rugby shirt, one leg propped up on a small box.] "Give him a 20 year long interdisciplinary education." [He is seen as a high school math student, looking at a wall clock while using a graphing calculator. As a college student, timing the movement of a film development can. As a graduate student, looking at mortarboards being tossed in the air.] "He is now ready to go outside!" [He is once again on all fours, albeit still in bidepal form, wearing kneepads and a harness which reads "MASTER'S DEGREE- OK TO PET."

Sheebah surprisingly has been cuddled next to me on the couch for over an hour. I can’t think of a time she’s ever done this before. Even in bed she isn’t the most cuddly. But it’s nice how affectionate she’s getting.

Kept hearing this odd noise after getting up. Sounded like tapping but also sounded like it was in the house, but the dogs weren't reacting. Went out front and spotted a big crow pecking around in the gutters by the 2nd story of the house. Would they be building nests in early fall?

Finished with the cleaning tasks for the house. My back is killing me but the house is all nice and clean now. Just need to do some final laundry and I’m good to go. Now I just hope my parents’ flight isn’t t delayed or cancelled with the shutdown and ATC shortages.

Saw some promo images AEW put out and loved this one of Powerhouse Hobbs. Just sitting behind a desk, glasses on in front of a laptop, but also in his wrestling singlet. Gives me vibes of those old ESPN commercials back in the early 2000s. Hope they show some on Dynamite tonight.

Of course, gotta keep the loads in there. Though I do like getting a taste of all the guys that have been in there at the end 👅

I also feel bad because the cats get so spooked by the vacuuming. Sunny is behind my work computer monitors to hide. Kiddo meanwhile just tries to bite the vacuum while I’m using it which is VERY helpful…

Man, deep cleaning is a lot of work. Also having to move the couches to put the covers back on was a lot. May not have enough time to get the doors and baseboards scrubbed but need to hit the bigger things first. Had to stop for a work meeting but gives me a breather at least.

Some amazing gay history. Listen up kids.

I'm watching that documentary "Before Stonewall" about gay history
pre-1969, and uncovered something which I think is interesting.

The documentary includes a brief clip of a 1954 televised newscast
about the rise of homosexuality. The host of the program interviewed
psychologists, a police officer, and one "known homosexual". The
"known homosexual" is 22 years old. He identifies himself as Curtis
White, which is a pseudonym; his name is actually Dale Olson.
So I tracked down the newscast. According to what I can find, Dale
Olson may have been the first gay man to appear openly on television
and defend his sexual orientation. He explains that there's nothing
wrong with him mentally and he's never been arrested. When asked
whether he'd take a cure if it existed, he says no. When asked whether
his family knows he's gay, he says that they didn't up until tonight, but
he guesses they're going to find out, and he'll probably be fired from
his job as well. So of course the host is like ... why are you doing this
interview then? and Dale Olson, cool as cucumber pie, says "I think
that this way I can be a little useful to someone besides myself."

1954. 22 years old. Balls of pure titanium.

Despite the pseudonym, Dale's boss did indeed recognize him from
the TV program, and he was promptly fired the next day. He wrote into
ONE magazine six months later to reassure readers that he had gotten
a new job at a higher salary.
Curious about what became of him, I looked into his life a little further.
It turns out that he ultimately became a very successful publicity
agent. He promoted the Rocky movies and Superman. Not only that,
but get this: Dale represented Rock Hudson, and he was the person
who convinced him to disclose that he had AIDS! He wrote the
statement Rock read. And as we know, Rock Hudson's disclosure had
a very significant effect on the national conversation about AIDS in the
U.S.
