They’re all just there! On random streets! And you can drive to them!

(PW and Halloween are within a mile of each other. Ferris Bueller and 2 of the darko houses are within 3 blocks of each other. It’s nuts.)

We were in LA with time and no plans, so we filled it by driving past houses.
Halloween
Pee Wee Herman’s big adventure
Ferris Bueller
Donnie Darko

… and it wasn’t until this second that I remembered we swung by the Gehry house too. What a day.

It was so shocking when it first went up- now it’s kind of quaint and obviously one of his major stepping stones in learning to play with shapes.

Seattle’s EMP is like the end game.

I was going to frame this as a “who would you rather reread, Piers Anthony or CS Lewis” question but realized we’re adults and can opt to skip both of them.

I had some ortho work done, and recovery can be long and frustrating.
The pain that caused it is just replaced with something else- and that can be worse than the initial diagnosis.
But it tends to get better over time - a long time. Some days better, then some days worse.

Long haul- buck up.

If you ever fly, the options are realID or a passport; if you’ve got a passport the barrier to Real ID is mostly breached.

But according to Scott county, looks like you’ve got plenty of time before Real ID is required.

That said, my kid was just stranded two nights at O’hare after missing a connecting flight by a few minutes.

No compensation for hotels, so those are expensive tortas.

More hours equals more tortas!

There is a difference between warming up to get oil flowing and properly lubricating the engine, and warming up to get enough heat into the radiator core so that warm air can properly defrost the window so you can see enough to drive- or sit in the vehicle without physical discomfort.

I really appreciate the labor of love involved here.

Can you put in the trees with 15 years of growth, just for giggles?

Walsh was a wildcard game, so I’m not a game knower.
Just “painful”.

I’m to Johnny come lately for the Washington game; but as far as season Enders go, several Philly game that sucked pretty hard, and then the Arizona game.

They all blur together.

I had to think about it, but I think I’d still put 41-donut above the Blair Walsh game, but behind Anderson and Favre.

Suspect Bill were giants in the local
Scene!

I’ve got a lift master system which automatically closes the door after 15 minutes. There’s ostensibly a lot more it’ll do but that’s the feature that keeps paying for itself.

I wish there was a “super heart” reaction.

Good luck, Ian.

That works with the other state food too!

I overheard a conversation in which one coworker was describing Snickers Salad to another (confused) coworker.

I chirped in and said “Just to make it clear- there’s no salad in Snickers Salad”, and the rest of the conversation was a bit easier after that.
