I slept on a couch for most of this year after losing my apartment on January 1st (priced out by the “great” four-letter-word economy that I’m told I’m too stupid to realize how great it is), nothing to change. Since I finally got into a new place (new job, now I can afford it again and then some), I wash them every Sunday. I’m grateful to be able to do that chore now, never thought I’d miss doing that.
At my last job, during Covid I had to call tech support for a piece of software we used. The guy I spoke with spoke English very well without a heavy accent. At one point, when I swear it sounded like he was sitting next to an open window and I could hear the breeze, CAHCKADOODLEDOOOOOOOO!!! Right into my ear. He was sitting next to an open window, and a rooster flew up and crowed at him. Obviously working from home!
There’s a saying that goes something like “you have to be really good in order to play really bad”. The better you are, the better you can mimic bad playing convincingly. Benny Hill never hired bad violin players, he hired good ones to play badly.
Onondaga Lake Parkway railroad bridge, Liverpool, NY. That one is particularly gnarly because half the year you can go almost highway speeds. A double decker Megabus was driven into it in 2010 and 4 people lost their lives. All the signs and detection systems in the world won’t stop someone determined to be an idiot.
I had Stouffer’s frozen lasagna for lunch yesterday, I’ve enjoyed it since I was a kid. I love their French bread pizzas too, and their ultimate 5 cheese mac is ridiculously good.
