My favorite thing about the 70s Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew show is how well-known they are throughout the world for their mystery solving skills.

Sometimes I think all dentist offices are contractually obligated to play β€œSummer of β€˜69” at least once a day.

The Fish Doorbell β€” The Fish Doorbell Did you spot a fish? Press the Fish Doorbell! This alerts our lock operator to let the fish through. The Fish Doorbell is in Utrecht, NL.

I'm watching the Fish Doorbell (visdeurbel.nl/en/) and some sort of plant appeared and my heart leaped out of my chest with excitement that I might get to ring the bell! Alas.

Lady Gaga and the person in the Bob Ross shirt gave me all the energy on the Bradley Rose Peloton ride this morning.

National Library Week starts next week so it feels especially mean (and purposeful) that things are moving to cut funding to these spaces. Libraries are for everyone and help people in so many ways, please use your voice to support them!

As a returned Peace Corps volunteer this is just disgusting.

🚨NEW🚨: Donald Trump is attempting to strip away federal support for libraries. We will NOT let that happen.

Last night the President signed an order to gut the Institute of Museum & Library Services. But together, we know we can show up & defeat it.

The SNL concert was amazing but the best part was the entire audience losing it for the Backstreet Boys.

Bowling alley bars are wild. I asked for a lemon drop (to be fair I don’t really know what that is) and the bartender handed us a glass of vodka and a soda lid with sugared lemon wedges on it.

There is always a 50% chance the intro to Psycho Killer by Talking Heads might turn out to be the Fraggle Rock theme tune.
And that’s a large part of the appeal.

My Philadelphia wife is making me identify everything on this shirt before allowing me to root for the Eagles even though I have a 215 number.

"I used to go to Bob's Big Boy restaurant just about every day from the mid-seventies until the early eighties. I'd have a milk shake and sit and think. There's a safety in thinking in a diner. You can have your coffee or your milk shake, and you can go off into strange dark areas, and always come back to the safety of the diner."
