There is a massive glut of bad reality shows on television this summer, and it’s enough to drive anyone into actually leaving the house and/or getting a life. There’s one show, however, that’s utterly fascinating. That show is 30 Days. I liked the first season last year, and this year, I think they’ve kept the ...
Hooray! It’s finally cool enough to just switch to letting the breeze come in at night, instead of running the a/c all day and all night and running up a giant electric bill!
To the fine folks of the company billing me for the services of the doctor in Durango who pronounced my ankle sprained: Your hold system is broken. The first time I called in, I was on hold for over an hour after being told there were 2 callers in front of me. Please have the ...
Continuing my theme of I Can’t Think of Anything Else To Post, let’s take a trip back to about this time of year in 1981, when I was young and my parents’ cat resented my existence: I do love that picture. My parents are convinced Fat Cat is looking protective. I think he looks more ...

You therefore should not have any windows open for your cat to push out the screen, climb out into the hole in the center of the building, and meow for 5 minutes. Your ...
My dad had surgery Saturday, and he’s doing better. The surgery was a success, although he’s going to have a pretty substantial recovery period since they weren’t able to do it laproscopically. He was still pretty loopy when I talked to him this afternoon, but he sounded good. He wasn’t asking for martinis yet, though. ...
“How hot is it?”, I imagine you all asking in unison. It is this hot: That is a can of Diet 7up that overheated so badly in my car that the top literally blew right off. Sadly, the picture doesn’t do justice to the magnitude of how ridiculous it looks in person. I bought a ...
