Yes.... some of my core memories involve doing something stupid outside with friends. Hell I still have some of the scars.

We had a busybody in our neighborhood who would call the cops on kids at the playground unsupervised. The kids walked past two playgrounds on their way home from school (unsupervised) and of course they'd stop and play.

Early 2010's I got a call from a parent when my kid showed up on their doorstep unannounced to play with their kid. She had no idea what to do with kids just seeing who was around to hang out.

The library needs to be built into the local HS football stadium. They'll never cut funding there.

How many days do you think you need at 4 hours/day (Don't want to over tax you.) I'm sensing Kickstarter/GoFundMe opportunity here. :)

How much are we talking about here?

Oh, NYC. Never change!

Can confirm.

She's beauty, she's grace, she'll stab you in the face.

Got the Lego for father's day, got the lights for Christmas.

The reason kids don't play outside is because parents over schedule their kids. It's hard to find time to play outside with friends when you have 2 different activities every day after school. Free time doesn't exist for kids anymore.

Got my Covid booster and Flu shot today. My arm is pretty sore. If that's it as far as side effects I'll take that over the 24 hour flu-like symptoms I've gotten in the past.

If I don't know you, and the first item in your headline on LinkedIn is "Follower of Christ" don't be surprised if we don't connect. I don't care about someone's religion when it comes to business. If you think it's important enough to be the 1st thing you tell me, it's just not going to work, ever.

Open Enrollment for medical benefits should be a federally mandated thing, with all companies required to provide options and costs at the same time. My company still hasn't published their plan options for next year, and my wife's open enrollment ended this week. It's ridiculous.

Those who fail to learn from their mistakes are doomed to repeat them.

Characters don't bother me. For some reason I can accept that with no problem. Never said it was rational. :)

Yeah. I can't watch anything set in NYC for much the same reason. I actively yelled at the screen watching Die Hard 3 with how quickly they got around town.

That was the one I was picturing in my mind since there is Nike Outlet there... but yeah... it's definitely a problem in my head for sure. :)

I'm a bad reader. When an author uses real places that I'm familiar with, any inconsistencies just pull me out of the story. Started reading @scalzi.com's "Starter Villain" last night. I'm all of 40ish pages in and I'm just completely hung up on the fact that there is no outlet mall in Kildeer.

I'm not sure if an entire Anti-Aircraft battery would fit in my pocket. Maybe an individual gun, but even that is probably a stretch.

He could have just been sniffing Rudy's hair too closely.....

I have been the cause of four distinctly different organizations choosing to rewrite their bylaws.... I've also been a significant contributor to those revised bylaws.

I still miss Google+. 😦
