Mine got to where it just said LOW and was actively slowing the car down. (Not good on 490!) I threw on the hazards and made it to the chargers in the Victor Walmart plaza.

Finally happened. Ran my car’s charge way too low. Fortunately, I got to a fast charger in time. Just poor planning on my part. ⚡️

Why does it feel like this was an episode of Deep Space 9?

While away, an unfortunate misunderstanding leaves Odo and Chief O’Brien to travel hundreds of clicks through the wilderness to dispose of a ring in a volcano, harried most of the way by Quark, who wants the ring to sell on the station.

Fitted caps are the top hats of baseball gear. I feel like I gained 3” in height just putting it on.

That would be one heck of a paradigm shift. Talk about touching base. I hope they’re not putting too much on their plate.

One thing I know to be true—the fluff remains cool and indifferent to my struggle.

Science journal, Monday, March 9, 2026:

The toasted Nutella Fluffernutter was satisfying, but the fluff was instantly neutralized.

My hypothesis unfounded, I find myself at a crossroads. Do I admit that the universe prefers peanut butter fluff? Or do I risk ridicule and ruin one more time?

The great Mike Greenlar wanted to capture a simple it-says-everything image of the iconic Tipperary Hill green-over-red traffic signal in Syracuse for my column on a St. Patrick’s centennial celebration of how that ‘upside down’ light in the Syracuse Irish community came to be:

I remember the first time I saw those tapes in the record store and chuckling to myself when I figured out the code.

I get the corned beef angle, but guess who introduced corned beef to Irish immigrants in the U.S.? It’s not tied to St. Patrick’s Day in Ireland.

The Sabres are good! To make a mixed metaphor, this timeline sure likes to throw a curveball.

Clancy’s Reuben Flavored Kettle Chips, in a dark and light green bag with a four-leaf clover on it.

I had to get these chips to see if they really taste like a Reuben, that most Irish of sandwiches. 😄
