I run a small B&B and keep bees in a tiny mountain town where the Sierras meet the Cascades. I used to do Army MI stuff a long time ago. He/him/flower-if-you-want-to.

Hot take: if it has sugar added to it, it's not whiskey and should not be labeled as whiskey. There is no such thing as "peanut butter whiskey" or "cinnamon whiskey" or "blackberry whiskey." These are liqueurs and should be labeled and shelved as such.

Hello, Strava? Hi, I'm calling to let you know that your app says that my "relative effort" is below average, and it's been saying that every day for weeks, so I think you need to further research the meaning of the word "average," because that's not how averages work. Thanks.

Okay, you can call me a hipster or a fashion victim or whatever if you want, but I am quite proud that I thought of cross country skiing as a perfect way to break in raw denim jeans. 👖⛷️ "And this awesome fade here is where I flipped all the way over & still landed on my 🍑."

I finally broke down and bought a dozen eggs for $10. I was trying to tough it out until my hens start laying again, but it turns out there are a lot of things you can't really make without real eggs. Anyway, I fried one for my breakfast and oh man do battery eggs suck. I am spoiled.

I may have made a terrible mistake. I started going to the gym a couple of months ago, & now I have abs, & suddenly my wife won't get out of bed & just stares at me with a mesmerized expression & her tongue hanging out. I think she's broken. How was y'all's Valentine's Day?

I shipped to Basic Training in Feb, 2003. In the DFAC at Reception at Ft. Jackson there were Black History Month decorations all around and it made me feel reassured that I'd joined the army of the good guys. How naive I was.

I took this photo for @arditidpopolo.bsky.social last May and forgot to post it. If you're in SF and hungry for pizza you can hardly do better. It's a block from the Marines Memorial where my wife and I like to stay when we're in town.

We tried to save money by switching from AAA to USAA roadside assistance and it is not worth it. Spouse wrecked a rim in a nasty pothole and it took almost 24 hours to get a tow.

In case you ever wondered what cold allodynia is like: I was outside scraping ice off the cars for about 15 minutes WITH GLOVES ON and it literally feels like I slammed my fingers in a car door.

When other countries punish us for electing a clown, the folks who didn't vote for the clown think it's unfair they're being punished too. They don't understand that it was on all of us to stop it. But those countries don't understand that when we shame the clown voters they just find someone worse.

The US is a former Gifted Child ™️ who smoked too much weed and didn't finish college but had so much potential. (That's also me but I'm pro union and anti hate.)

Ah, the millennial experience of “every time you get some measure of financial and career stability, the world decides to do something extraordinarily stupid again”
