I went to Puerto Rico for the World Baseball Classic, and all I got was tropics hair and a restraining order from local cats.

You won't catch us dishonoring the previous seat of government of the North-West Territories. (according to Wikipedia)

It's honestly one of the best anthems. Ours is lamer for sure.

Sorry I didn't respond sooner. I was smack dab in the middle of something.

As good sports Canadians, we will fight the urge to besmirch the honor of Regina.

He was such a hit in the clubhouse, though!

It’s so deeply depressing that any attempt to talk about American patriotism immediately leads to talking about the military. Revealing too.

I was shamelessly rooting for Canada and singing their anthem at their WBC games. This was after heckling our men's hockey team in the Olympics. You should all join me as sports Canadians. We meet on Tuesdays to make sure everyone is saying city names in Saskatchewan properly.

This was an actual conversation between Statler and Waldorf, aka @felina510.bsky.social and me, the other night. It doesn't even look like the good bacon, though. It's clearly got meat substitute in it.

I went to Puerto Rico for the World Baseball Classic, and all I got were these cat friends.

I Made Tortillas, and I Think I Should Apologize to My Pan The horrors it's suffered continue

In today’s Substack post, I admit to various crimes against my pan, culminating in last week’s tortilla misadventure.

Aw, thanks. 🥲 Wasn't very good at making attractive faces, though!

He really does have seductive eyes. Gaze upon them at your own peril.

At #athletics game yesterday, I was chatting up the older lady who was getting my beer. She told me her favorite team to see hit Mesa was Seattle because Julio Rodríguez has those “f ck me eyes”. Going back to her kiosk today…without my shades. Keep ballin’, Betty White 😘

Unattractive woman sticks tongue out in photo with attractive man Unattractive woman sticks tongue out in photo with annoyed attractive man

I was looking for pictures for my dad, who somehow turns 71 tomorrow, and I came across these attractive snaps with my old boyfriend. May these photos remind you that anyone can find love.

At the #SeaKraken game, and some lady old enough to be his grandma was filming naughty stretching videos of Brandon Montour. For some, the thirst is never quenched.

At the intersection where you turn into the stadium/team headquarters, there was also the semi-regular gathering of older folks protesting Trump. We all honked in solidarity as we drove past.

Some of us are getting old enough that we need to see the journeymen reliever and youthful third base coach butts.

I just appreciate the 50+ y/o out here taking trunk shots and trying to convince the families around him “it’s for the ladies I have met on the internet” like it’s a normal thing.

The guy who interviewed me was like Sean Manaea with short hair. I'm glad I chatted with him even if the job odds are not in my favor.

my friend has two cats and each one has taken turns waking me up. I bet they think it’s really funny (affectionate)

Stopped by the job fair for the AquaSox to look into a seasonal job. There are three more days, and there are already more people here today than there are at an average A's game. No one is ever finding a job ever, are they?
