Just read a list of Bay area bands, and while I wish there was a political statement to choosing Green Day, I think they are literally just the most popular.
The other contenders would maybe be Dead Kennedy's, Counting Crows, Steve Miller Band and Stevie Nicks.
It's all left leaning.

We have entered a time when the grocery store won't sell you fresh cranberries or fresh peaches.
This is basically hell.

Behavioral euthanasia because the dog is not trustworthy in the world. I'm completely pro-vax, but whether autism or something else dog mental illness is 100% real and 100% has negative impact. So I wouldn't dismiss the fear.

I show dogs. Dog show people were the *first* place I caught the anti-vax trend 20 years ago. When it showed up in people I was like "Holy shit"

Past two months have been a saga of moms illness, holidays, my illness and business travel.
Going to start texting my friends to do things and hope they still exist 😅

Yep. It's literally imposible to be in the dog show community without facebook. You would not know where to go or when to be there.

I got a cold December 19th that lasted until Jan 4 or so.
I started another cold today.

At my mom's house, updating her list of prescription drugs.
It is as if her printer has ghosts.
15+ years of software experience but I don't fix printers.
This will have to wait until Matt gets here in two days.

Main lesson from driving Seattle to Rochester MN in December - Montanans should be single issue voters on plowing.
Drove at 40mph for six hours over thick ice. The MINUTE I go over the Wyoming boarder - BOOM PLOW.
And it's not like WY is a blue state that loves public works.

There are many pies, but if there is a god she eats only one.
Pecan pie. It's God's pie. She's eating it now.

Just booked a corporate dinner at Marlaina's in Burien - great restaurant and the owner personally called to work out the menu.
After booking I found this on their website.
Some small businesses really deserve your money. Glad I went with this one!

I have spent so much time surrounded by people who have 6 to 15 dogs that I'm now like "maybe I should have like 8 dogs"

For veteran's day, my USAF coworker is calling us and we are learning facts about the nuclear weapons.

I've seen quite a few articles about declining birth rates and his birth rates are declining even in very family friendly countries lately.
I think the answer is simply "people are happier with fewer kids".
Not sure if society can accept that.

Youngest kid started wrestling. He also does cross country and swim.
None of the rest of the family can figure out how he's normal. Blows our minds.

The most important restaurants to me are those that combine craft cocktails with food from anywhere in Asia.
Harder to find than you would expect since it's intrinsically fusion. But I love it.

I quite like Bad Bunny even though I don't understand any Spanish and I'm very very confused by how this is hard for people.
Like, I'd probably like his music even more if I did understand Spanish. But its good - anyone can tell.

There's really nowhere better to work than a well funded startup finding traction in a solid market other than developers.
"Tier 1" big name tech is frankly exhausting to work for. "Tier 2" is where it's at.

Just had a USAF civilian service member who I have worked with before send an email that she is taking early retirement. Not sure how it was offered to her, but there's definitely a lot of discontent.
