After working at Caterpillar for about a year, I was settling into the job. The Cutlass was still running, but the job was starting to require a lot of travel. Joliet and Detroit were coming up, those were within driving distance, so I wanted to get a good highway car.
Sparky thought he looked slick in his ninja suit. The reality didn’t match the image in his head. That’s fine, it happens to everyone.
Why does that happen so often with yoga pants?
The Bicentennial, in 1976, was a big deal. The National Park Service, probably at Yellowstone, named a bison, “Tennial”. That seemed awfully clever.
I’m out of anything new to watch, so I went to a Korean TV series I’ve been sitting on for a while.
It’s your standard zombie outbreak centered on the situation at the high school, but man, Koreans go hard. When the zombie horde finally breaks into a classroom, they go charging in like a bunch of hornets. Some keep going, and crash through the window and plummet to the ground.

My sister used ChatGPT to portray Sparky as a samurai. Sparky thinks that’s a good idea, but I’m not so sure.
Gayle’s career and notoriety are based on her being Black and being a woman. Both of those attributes led her to befriend Oprah Winfrey, and that probably did more for her career than anything else. She is dumb, and doesn’t know it.
Gayle’s show, CBS Mornings, averages a million viewers. There are 41,000 Youtube channels with over a million subscribers, with videos getting two or three times that many views. Gayle isn’t special.
The Blue Origin all-women flight was a trivial exercise that I addressed in a post about a month ago. Now that the flight is over, the behavior of some of the participants is shockingly offensive.
When I was a grad student at Clemson in 1985, I bought a 1974 Yamaha RD200 for $400. That’s $1200 in real money. My intention was to save money on gas.
A weather front came in, so we got a short downpour. Storms make Sparky squirrelly, so he suggested that we open up the birthday vodka from my sister. Sparky said when traveling abroad, he had some and really liked it, but that was a long time ago.
