HighOPS: I'm done applying for new credit cards. Chase: What if we offer you IHG points worth $1000 and promise to approve you even if you are over 5/24. HighOPS: Dammit.

Not watching UM-Indiana but had to check wind speed in Ann Arbor after seeing the box score. Also, since they were playing like it was 1975 they should have let them end it at a 6-6 tie.

Paying tribute to Midwestern roots, while not disturbing the rest of the bus, by finger spelling cow while pointing the cow out to Mrs. HighOPS.

Podcaster talking about health longevity says "We don't see many 90-year-olds running on the pitch with their grandchildren on their shoulders." I don't think I could carry a 40-year-old very far either.

Candidate Text: I write this between campaign stops . . . Translation: Some intern wrote this three weeks ago to send 26 days or so before the election . . . My translation: I should never have given directly to a candidate instead of my union PAC several years ago.

It is getting rough for R's . . .the old guys on the East side of Panera are talking about recovery from prostate surgery instead of politics.

I'm not sure why the debate about whether people have heard top songs crossgenre exists. If a song is good enough it will eventually be the background music on a Hulu ad.

Protip: If you keep an electric lawnmower and 40V battery with you, you can use them to quickly check the fit of your noise cancelling earbuds.

Because of my zip code I get a lot of Republican mailers and even without all the other bullshit I wouldn't want the empire run by people who are afraid of hyphens.

I've got an old Yahoo Mail account I check every once in a while. I don't think it will make a comeback because they pop up some streak monitor over the controls you need after every fifth or tenth email you read or delete.

Passed a yard flag with bearded guy wearing a crown of thorns wiping hands and face on American flag. You can't wipe your blood and sweat on a US flag. Who does this guy think he is?

Change: Other Drivers, my diet, and white supremacist Christian fundamentalists controlling government remain on my personal top five fears, but my new number one is children who are too young riding electric vehicles on sidewalks.

Update: I remain relentlessly opposed to religions getting exceptions to laws. Now when I attempt to mock them my religion will be centered not on Two Hearted Ale, but on M-43 Strawberry, which I should be able to enjoy at any any time regardless of prevailing liquor laws.

If Trump can write an executive order telling doctors when to give vaccines does that mean all doctors are employees of the executive branch? Did we get socialized health care and I missed it? Cool!

College in 2024: You can't be in the 25-Year Club because you worked 24.5 years and wrote resign instead of retire on your severance letter College in 2026: Jeffrey(sic) A.(sic) Morford, would you like to pay to come to our party? Maybe not, guys.

Guy next to me at a financial advisor dinner (I got time and like filets) told me he had put all his money in physical gold and silver. If I'd have thought more quickly I'd have said all of mine was on frozen orange juice concentrate futures.

Mom yelling at 8 ish son for blocking 4 ish daughter on electric scooters in a race on sidewalk. Curmudgeon across the street wondering why the fuck you'd encourage novices to go that fast on sidewalks.
