He’s down at SIU this weekend. My youngest son is in the aviation program there and they watched a C 13 fly in carrying a chopper in preparation for him and starting today at 3pm they issued a no fly order. Tickets are free to see him speak but he took a hard pass on that one 😂

Words flow like wine

tcr! · Oct 26, 2018 at 5:14 pm

Words flow like wine in the bathtub.
Glasses are tilted, reds are splashing.
20 proof bubbly lather is laughing.
Tart letters streak the mirror.
Hands are stained with happiness.

There. I wrote a poem.

Peeps, here’s your out-in-the-fashion-show Friday jam.

Because every work week should end with a hit-and-run-transmission.

Old timey married couple

One thing I like about October is that I buy stuff with every intention of leaving it up year round.

Also, I hope that Sara and I live to be this old together. ❤️

Guys, I just drove through downtown Geneva. It’s downtown trick-or-treat time apparently.

In a van next to me a dude shouts into his cell phone:

“THERE’S AT LEAST 500 LITTLE KIDS! 😳”

Correct! And THE best Geneva activity for kids by far! I am always amazed there are people trying to drive down 3rd/cross 3rd and surprised the city doesn’t close the street for this one.

Kelly K · Oct 25, 2018 at 11:28 pm

I agree. They should have closed off the streets. I had NO IDEA it was going on, or I never would have driven to that part of town.

Maggie: that’s a whole lotta crazy.

You maybe wondering what’s crazy. And rightfully so.

However, what I’d hopefully like to infer is that if a 13-year-old is declaring crazy, then that’s all you really need to know. 😉

Guys, I was just in the Blue Goose check out aisle. They asked me if I wanted paper or plastic.

When I replied “paper” the guy said under his breath, “I knew you’re gonna say that.”

I’m obviously going to have to stop coming here. They have a file on me or something.

They have really good paper bags like Trader Joe’s does. The handles are great and they’re sturdy. He’s a disillusioned retail employee… I wouldn’t take it personally. We’ve all been there.

tcr! tcr! · Oct 24, 2018 at 5:01 pm

Yep, it’s nothing personal for sure. But what are the odds he knew I was going to pick paper? 50/50 for sure!

fiatlux423 · Oct 24, 2018 at 5:53 pm

Part of why I go there is I can be in and out with a nice paper bag in 15 minutes.

Albeit way too “expensive” to do your weekly grocery shopping (too many other options around) BUT “nice” to go shop for “something” special … which there “is” plenty of … 👍👍👍

You’re getting too predictable. Mix it up with plastic some days, then bring your own bags. Always keep them guessing.

Trader Joe’s is irrelevant. They should only offer paper because it’s the right thing to do

Plus, maybe he plays a little game in his head for fun. Maybe trying to guess which bag people will choose. You would stop shopping there just because of this? Wow.
You must’ve really been insulted.

The real issue at Blue Goose isn’t the bags or the guy. It’s that I never see the Key Lime Bombs in the bakery any more. This makes me very sad. Heart-broken and cake-less, and lime-less, and coconut-less.

tschweizer · Oct 24, 2018 at 7:46 pm

Ooooo tell me about these! I love cake lime and coconut!

I always look for them when I’m in there even though I’ll probably never buy them.

The SQLite — Code Of Conduct

tcr! · Oct 24, 2018 at 11:48 am

If you have a smart phone in your pocket most likely it’s using SQLite to store your data. It’s public domain software that any body or any company can freely use.

Most free or open source software is written by a team of developers from all over the world. Most of these development groups have a code of conduct.

This is SQLite’s: sqlite.org/codeofconduct.html

53 is my favorite: do not love much talking.

Pro-tip: stop acting like a moron

tcr! · Oct 24, 2018 at 11:26 am

Audio (MP3): 20181024 - Pro-tip: stop acting like a moron

Something like this is what I’m referring to: you’re pulled over along the side of the street at a mailbox, depositing your envelopes on a Wednesday morning.

It’s not Christmas card season but you still got bills to pay or ballots to send. You’re lost in your own world of stamps and bubble wrapped packages. Maybe the taste of envelope glue is still fresh in your mouth. Maybe not.

Regardless, then you pull out into traffic without signaling, without yielding, without common sense. Then you cut across two lanes without haste and turn right.

All of that. That’s being a moron.

It’s more than wearing blinders and seeing only your direct path. It’s putting a bag over your whole head and wandering around life clueless. Bumping into people and obstacles like you’re at Funway on Saturday night.

Look, other people will be annoyed when you’re acting like a moron. Expect that. Underline it in your head. You may even get the truck horn.

My point is, we’re all gonna act like morons. It’s what we do. I won’t hold it against you.

But when you see yourself, feel yourself acting like a moron, stop.

Don’t maintain. Don’t forge or plow ahead. Pull up life’s emergency brake, take the bag off, and wave meekly yet happily in complete, acknowledged defeat.

Hang your head if you must. Because people just want to know that you know that you were indeed being a moron.

The key is to stop though. Just stop. 👍
