There are exactly two people in the United States with the same Last, Middle, and First Name as me (It’s actually still true if you leave out the middle name). The other one is a few years younger than me, and when we were both somewhere in our 20’s (quite long ago), the other one had a bit of trouble paying his bills. Given the unusual name, I had a few interesting calls trying to convince some really unhappy creditors that they weren’t me.

A few years later they sold spices, and the multi level marketing spice company really had a problem distinguishing between us. They married someone whose first name is one letter different than my spouse.

Now the biggest problem is they are an elected politician. The good news is they moved to a coast, and I still live in the midwest. If they became more infamous, I would change my name.

Well, that’s the last time I visit a Cracker Barrel. Oh Well.

Pandora’s AI will be popular someday, in the small enclosures of rapidly extincting humans.

Alabama 3’s (A3 in some places) cover of John Prine’s “Speed of the Sound of Loneliness”. This is the song before “Woke up this Morning” on the album “Exile on Cold Harbour Lane”, and the two together tell a story.

This plus Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana and I can finally recreate Smoky and the Bandit 1!

Not going to read a CBS news story, they have already capitulated.

Why does this particular piece of corruption make me absolutely furious after everything else that has gone on the last month?

How does it work now? Do the Russians just call directly and ask what they want to know?

Voting to allow this guy to run the FBI is literally treason.

Someday, I am going to watch “The Notebook”, and “Forest Gump”, not on the same day.

No, I think about it terms of “who is running the simulation”. My current theory is that our reality is running in some college theology department.

In a cattle-car using an M-16 A1 Automatic rifle to prop up my helmet, en-route to be tear-gassed.

My parents called tonight and asked if they could come on Thursday, I am NOT looking forward to seeing my hyper-christian Maga supporting white-Nationalist parents, and neither are my very sensible, LQTBQ+ supporting children and their partners, and spouses. Tomorrow, I have to call and tell them that any nonsense, or statements like the ones that were made at the last event we were at will be met by asking them to leave. Yay.

First thing I thought of also, but I rewatch Dogma regularly.

Never will I fly Delta again.

I remember that book! Wasn’t it basically, how to make your own Eliza with a bunch of If…Then’s?

So, as far as I can see, the only Bill of Right Trump hasn’t flat out, explicitly decided he can over turn by presidential decree is the third? Has anyone asked him if it would be okay to quarter troops on the population yet?
