Imagine spending that much money on a power bill when you could buy a Toyota Camry instead.

The Niners Instagram had a video today asking the players where their thermostat is set right now. So many said 60. Sirs, that is the winter setting for the heater. And only because if it's colder than that, it'll freeze.

By the way, this isn't meant to be a knock. Life has been rough for most of us the last 10 years or so, and I worry these former classmates haven't found helpful coping strategies. We all need them. πŸ₯²

Apart from moms with cubs, bears are usually only aggressive when you have food. Fortunately, they just feel sorry for me with my vegetarian gluten-free trail snacks.

My 20-year high school reunion just happened because I was born before the telephone. I've seen pictures, and the ladies are recognizable and still youthful. I only recognized two guys, though, one of which was a coworker until 2016. We need to give our millennial men loved ones some spa weekends.

On the train packed with Storm and Mariners fans tonight, this sweet guy asked me if I wanted his seat. At first, I was like, "Aaaawww." But then I wondered if he thought I was elderly or pregnant.

I'm at the Storm game. They just highlighted Megan Rapinoe in her usual courtside seat... next to an empty seat! Then it cut to Sue Bird dancing and snuggling with Doppler like they were at a Coldplay concert.

Thank you for your assistance! I will avoid getting pickled fish for you if I go the Denmark/Sweden route. But only because it's fish and I'm a vegetarian.

While I was waffling on vacation plans this fall (a favorite pastime), the Skymiles needed for Madrid got too high for a free flight. (rude) Now I'm thinking either a week in Portugal (Lisbon/Porto) or Copenhagen with day trips to Sweden. (somehow way cheaper) What would you do, internet denizens?

That's in the official Idaho hiking kit. Extra for your moose, too.

Me: *finds a perfectly busy, well-groomed 6-mile hike nearby that should be fine solo, has brother tell her it's very safe to do alone, probably has adventurous toddlers on it*
Also me: *spends five hours reading Reddit posts about solo hiking mountain lion encounters*

I haven't been watching since the Oakland A's officially passed on to the crumbling stadium in the sky, but the Pirates were my NL team and I loved Ke'Bryan. I'm sorry. πŸ’š

I honestly do wonder if the luxury tickets that are becoming so much more popular are behind increased MLB revenue because at least 7 or 8 owners are steps away from just kicking their fans' puppies and pushing their grandmas out of the way in crosswalks.

I got texts about the Twins' house cleaning, so I checked the AL Central standings and was like, "Come on. They're not *that* bad. They're not the White Sox." Then I realized that's not a statement of any significance. My basketball stats against my 6'3 older brothers are better than the White Sox.

The reason I wrote this over the weekend is because by getting a Skymiles credit card this year, my sign up bonus was enough Skymiles for a free long haul flight. I've been searching Montreal, Copenhagen, Scotland again, or Madrid. All the resulting Delta emails have been a real Spain in the butt.

If you want to get even more mad at John Fisher (and who doesn't?!), you'll enjoy this. You'll enjoy it even if you think another owner is also evil. (Spoiler: They all are.)
