DTE, a power company, taunts you by telling you how many people have power when you go to get information on your outage. Currently 2.25 million people have their power on. Me and my neighbors are not among them.

Little pisses me off more than going to the DTE outage map and being taunted by how many people DO have power.

When Americans were asked to temporarily sacrifice going to their barbers so we could keep the morgues from overflowing, people with guns stormed the Michigan capitol.

Tonight's #LGRW game recap:

Blown lead with 90 seconds left. Copp leaves injured, now down top 2 centers in a playoff race.

Montreal, Boston, Buffalo, Columbus all win their games.

A loss hasn't felt more bleak this season. Salt in the wound. Sickening stuff. #LGRW

Scooting up a goose stepping rhythm to a simpler time
Quickest on the stick when the call of nature hits

If you were on the fence about watching SHORESY, I implore you to check out the first episode of the new season and watch how it masterfully downshifts from wickedly funny crassness to open-hearted empathy.

That was the most Got That Dawg In Him game of the year by Michigan. Not sure there’s a close second.

Fnished Todd Goddard’s lovely biography of Jim Harrison, “Devouring Time.” Since then, have been listening to Harrison’s collected Brown Dog novellas. This, from, BD, is … yeah: “Things are not supposed to be happening to people all of the time … There should be more open spaces between events.”

This is why “you have to respect the office” as a reason to visit this White House is so dumb. The people in the office don’t respect the office or anything or anyone else.
