Some guy at the airport has a T-shirt that says, “I’m retired and you’re not. Have fun at work tomorrow.” They’re sticking it to us! 😡 But I don’t have to be at work until Monday.

So some street vagrant tried to attack me tonight by running up behind me. But I’m keenly aware of people around me, and I immediately spun around on him. His kicked me in the ankle, not hard, so no big deal. He was short and I towered over him and said “What is wrong with you?”

He ran off to an eatery patio and then threw a bottle, maybe ketchup, but missed. He splattered someone else who was pissed. I guess I chalk it up to mentally unwell person gonna be mentally unwell. Am I making too much out of it or not enough if I tell people about it?

I don’t take public transportation often, because it’s gross. Case in point, I took the trolley today to go to an event at the convention center. A homeless man was passed out on the seats, but woke up just to projectile vomit in the car. I was not in the splash zone.

I’m watching a documentary on the early 2000 show The Swan, and I wish Pat Powers hadn’t disappeared off the face of the earth. He would love this, and I’d love to hear him talk about it.

I'm replacing my dining chairs now that one of my old ones broke. I don't trust online furniture stores. I figure they take your money, go out of business then launch a new website only to do it all over again. That's how they get ya!
