I suspect whether we have storms tonight will depend on if Chuck Norris blows out the 86 candles on his birthday cake. Chuck Norris, by the way, doesn’t blow out candles. He blows out street lights!

I hope the One Big Beautiful Bill helped the rest of you because it sure-as-hell didn’t benefit me. On roughly the same income as the previous year, my taxes went UP!

I am convinced my roomba is male. It malfunctions in the bedroom far too often to be anything else!

She'd have to be better than who we have now!

I used to work down the street from there. I seem to remember it was pretty good. The Pizza Man used to also be a regular guest with Max, Tanna, and Moffitt.

Yesterday, I could’ve bought 1,000 shares of Cumulus for $10. I win, though, because the $10 is still in my pocket, and those 1,000 shares are worth $0 today!

It was a great station. Wasn't bad most of the time it was on 99.7 either.

Like most heritage AOR's, it got squeezed in the 90's when rock fragmented. The only ones that survived either pivoted and changed lanes to a more narrow rock format or bought someone who did and took over that mantle.

I've told it before, but my first choice of college denied me entry after finding out I was Cherokee and eligible for cheaper rates. I never attended but was one of many people involved in eventually getting it to honor its own policy and create a bridge program.

I'm just going to set my clock and hour forward. I'm not going to lose any sleep over it!

Always heard Jay Stevens (AKA Woody P. Snow) wrote "Rocky."

Much as I like seeing a hometown boy succeed, "Rocky" was absolute trash.

"Rocky, I ain't never died before. I don't know if I can do it."

Well, if you can't, you're probably better off than the rest of us!

I've said many times before that getting older is not for wimps. The doctor said it was either this or watch last night's State of the Union!

I usually find I sleep about as long as I do on workdays; I just wake up later if I stay up later.

One of my friends said, β€œOur share of the tariff refunds will be added to our DoGE checks.”

As one of my friends put it, β€œI’m sure we’ll get our share of the money added to our DoGE checks.”

There’s a much bigger one in the White House (with apologies to the worm in front of you)!

She caught herself, but the news anchor said, "Cooter County," when trying to say, "Cooper County."

The biggest conspiracy theorist friend I have posted recently saying, "We conspiracy theorists are really enjoying these 'I told you sos.'"

Uhhh...nice try, but you have a selective memory. We'd been telling you for roughly the last decade that this was exactly who Donald Trump was.

I often think my former home state needs an extra "s" at the end of its name!

Honestly, neither. My dad was an only child, and he and his immediate family are gone. I am, however, cool with his extended family, and I like them a lot.

My mom's family was definitely better growing up, but, with the grandparents long gone, I'm not that close to the rest of them.

What's trashy if you're poor but classy if you're rich?

Taking money from the government!

I lived there briefly when I was little. Don't remember it much at all. Been back once since I left, and that was more than 20 years ago.

It's almost like a mystical land to me.

I don't understand this phenomenon called "ranch water." If you want alcoholic water, Bud Light has been around pretty much forever!

Ex-wife moved out and has lived in Germany for over five years now. Since then, she's received three jury questionnaires. The latest arrived today for a grand jury. She's not eligible, and she's told them that at least once.

How fitting "Round Here" by the Counting Crows came on the radio. It's the ninth anniversary of the death of the first girlfriend I had in college. She loved that song, and there's rarely a time when I hear that song and can't picture her and hear her singing it.

To the company that scheduled an appointment for me this morning, I don't mind you sending me reminders, but I'm sure I'm the only person who doesn't like appointments being scheduled for me out of the blue via text messaging.
