I have specifically found that parking lots have become MUCH more chaotic. I feel like I'm risking my life every time I back out of a spot after buying groceries.

Kind of early in the day for someone to be sundowning.

Oh, I should really rewatch those--they're so good!

Only if it still looks exactly like this.

One of the downsides of AI: Now, every time I see a video of an animal doing something cute, I feel like I have to examine it like it's the Zapruder film.

I, for one, welcome our new BLS overlord, Mr. Big Balls.

I never saw S4 because it got dropped by Netflix.

I just noticed that Hoopla -- a free service you get from your local library system, if it participates -- has all seasons of the terrific "Babylon Berlin."

Tag for a Cheyenne Spirit Coneflower. The brand is Blew Label. What?

I've been wondering about "Blew Label" for weeks now. Is there some play on words that I'm not getting?

FYI, if you are looking for later (S8+) seasons of "Columbo," don't believe JustWatch, which says they're not available -- they're on Tubi. (Along with the earlier seasons. But I had watched those on Peacock, which craps out with S7.)

Is it just me or have clickbait-style headlines ramped up tremendously on so-called respectable sites this year? Hate it, hate it, hate it.

I love many of Walter Tevis's books, but "The Color of Money" is so bad that the Scorsese film basically uses the title and Paul Newman's character from "The Hustler" and that's it--the plot is almost completely different.

I'd sure like someone to make a film of his "Mockingbird" some day.

I remember liking "...High Castle" a lot the first time I read it. But I found it a chore to re-read a few years ago. And yeah, I wouldn't rate "Androids" all that highly either.

Yeah, that one is up there.

My favorite is "A Scanner Darkly."

I don't think I've ever read that one.

I find it infuriating that new cars (most? all? I don't know) don't have CD players any longer. I have literally hundreds--probably close to 1,000--of CDs, and I'd like to be able to listen while driving.
