  1. Our cats pronounce it as me-yew, and would not be be confused with the Chairman.
  2. Sure. I’d walk across a bridge between the two buildings, why not swim?
  3. Yeah. We’re two episodes in, it’s pretty sad.
  4. Loved Broadchurch, will definitely look into this.
  5. In Paia? I’m looking forward to spending more time in places I’ve mostly just passed through before.
  6. Delaware beach in late June, Outer Banks in August.
  7. Which island? Rent your car now, if you haven’t already. Supplies are short. We’re doing Maui in December. We’ve always stayed in West Maui, this time we’ll try Kihei.
  8. No, not cheesy. Meaningful, even to us who have not met any of these children.
  9. Borat hit it out of the park.
  10. I reserved a car for a December vacation. 3X more expensive than last year (when there was zero demand), 30% higher than two years ago during “normal” conditions. I am hoping that rental car inventory will increase this summer and my cost will drop, but only time will tell.
  11. If you want a laugh, price a rental car these days. In Hawaii, people are renting U-Hauls for a week at $29 a day and saving a ton (and actually getting a rental). Lots of rental companies sold off big fleets of cars during Covid.
  12. I am a sucker for a good hazy IPA.
  13. That’s not really the league anymore. CTE (and former fighter’s suicides) have curtailed it a lot. Not eliminated, and hits to the head still happen, but it’s down, a lot.
  14. Sure. I could, and I could find a lot of other things to do on that palm tree covered rock.
  15. Connor McJesus and his Oilers facing elimination tomorrow, blowing a 4-1 third period lead to lose 5-4 in OT. Winnipeg leads series 3-0.
  16. At least he went home for the summer. I was rooting for the Bruins. The Caps are an easier matchup for the Pens (assuming we get past the Isles), but I fully expected Wilson to ruin someone’s playoffs with a cheap hit if he got past this round. Now I just have to worry about hockey plays, not expected head shots.
  17. I don’t think domestic travel to stay with family is the definition of “big trips”. You should be fine, even if you believe in the rest of the advice.
  18. I have read advice to not make any big changes in your first year of retirement. No big purchases, not big trips, no sales or purchases of homes.... I imagine that’s to allow you to fully figure out your finances once the regular income is gone.
  19. Just like this post. https://twitter.com/buitengebieden_/status/1396493247078440960?s=21
  20. When you season it, make sure you use a small cap to measure before applying to the crank shaft. You wouldn’t want to over-season that after so much preparation.
  21. Probably a good thing, yes? If they are looking for a bleeding source, then they are suspecting the anemia is be due to iron deficiency from blood loss instead of leukemia?
  22. 1) It’s not TV. 2) Listener supported, not beholden to corporate advertisers. It’s my daily commute listen. I feel they try to present multiple sides of complex issues. I’ve heard from the Israeli government, humanitarian aide workers and Palestinians regarding the Gaza Strip fighting. PBS is my rare TV news source, for the same reasons I like NPR. Their opposing viewpoint presentations usually have me learn something, even if I disagree with one conclusion. My kids have started stating the “Fake News” mantra and “all politicians lie” lines. It’s a very dangerous, disengaged approach that I am trying my best to discourage. It’s hard, though.
  23. Why get your news from the TV? To quote Jane’s Addiction, “The News is just another show, with sex and violence“.
