Waiting for my slices @pizzamyheart.bsky.social and just picked up this great read by @underwaterlance.bsky.social in paperback @hicklebees.bsky.social
The title made my eye twitch just a little – IYKYK.

And don’t get all smug, EV drivers – increases in the cost of fuel drive up prices on EVERYTHING.
Guess it’s time to revive my 80 MPG motorcycle…
Extracting Venezuelan oil was borderline unprofitable at the crude oil price before the current debacle – but guess what! Now it is.
It's all about money and his ego.
We await the bounty of your generous heart, Duchess.
Yet she competed for Communist China...
Well, at least the one she got wrong rhymes. 🤷🏻♂️ It has a nice ring to it when you say it out loud…
(For all the time and money that is being poured into AI systems they are still incredibly stupid.)
According to my local bookseller I can pre-order his book on April 6. I am counting the days...
“O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!”
He chortled in his joy.
Yes, friends and neighbors, I have been approved for a media credential and will be in attendance as media at the 2026 Fortinet Founders Cup, Mar 19–22 at Sharon Heights Golf & Country Club. Thank you, @lpga.bsky.social media.
Why?
He's been the only Democrat with the balls to stand up to Trump.
Have put backup earthquake detector in play. Can't be too careful.
A line from an incomplete novel that is still swimming around in my head: "Come see me when you've put 60 in your rear view mirror, and we'll have a conversation about the importance of fiber in your diet."
There's a pharmacy on every other block, at least in Spain. Gotta say it's real convenient, though.
FAFO king…
Three views of snowy Mt Hamilton, elevation 4200 feet, near San Jose, California.
San Jose is sitting in a rain window right now, but it looks to be coming for us. And I think that I heard thunder.
Something tells me that they got snow up on Mt Hamilton overnight.
“DeChambeau turned into one of the sport’s most compelling figures”
It’s always fun to see who gets on a roll and who fades. Especially at Pebble, and ESPECIALLY when the weather rolls in...
@kejamieson.bsky.social I'm watching “Blackadder”, S2E1 for the first time – and I just got the joke.
Send those ICE boys – they have a bigger budget...
Just throwing this out there – if a television show has subtitles available, why is ASL interpretation necessary?
Also looking forward to covering a U.S. Women’s Open qualifier in April down around my old stomping grounds – Salinas, CA – at Corral de Tierra CC.
Submitted my application for a media credential for the new @lpga.bsky.social event that’s just up the road from me, the Fortinet Founders Cup at Sharon Heights G&CC in Menlo Park. 🤞
Sadly missing Pebble Beach again this year – per @pgatourus.bsky.social media rules my humble website doesn't cut it.
Settling in for a rainy day. More than three times as much rain since midnight as all day yesterday.
The incident being referred to is obviously a glitch; and no, I have never seen it written down – and I would only expect to if it were in dialogue or a direct quote.
I can say with 100% confidence that it is an Okie-ism. I grew up hearing “might could/might should” from my Oklahoma-born parents.
