I’m about that old and I’m no spring chicken. My feet hurt all the time, it seems like I find a new wrinkle every day now, I get injuries when I sleep, I know my way around town by way of landmarks that don’t exist anymore, I leave my turn signal on for more than an hour at least once a month, and I can’t keep up with…

I’d concur on Gorsuch (he’s from my district and has loads of experience as an actual judge). Coney Barrett has precious little experience as either a practicing attorney, let alone as a judge. There are no “qualifications” required for a SC. Anyone can be on the SC. ACB is proof of what that means, imo.

I’m very happy for him. Truly. I can’t imagine how hard it’s been for him all this time. I’m looking forward to seeing an interview with him in 20 years or so when he’s an old codger.

... and seat belts.

Look, it’s not stimulus. It’s relief. The bulk of the money is going to keep state and local governments afloat and allow them to avoid making very painful cuts in spending on services. Another big chunk is going to help battered businesses not go under. As far as individuals go, there are people in bread lines that…

Well, there it is. I think you made my day.

I have never had a sparkle motion t-shirt before, but I am committed enough to get one, now.

Yes. This deserves repeating. Thank you.

She reminded me of “mother” from Pink Floyd’s The Wall. I couldn’t pin it down at first, but there it was.

“the Dems nowadays handing out money with no means testing whatsoever”

I like it. Roomy.

Damn fine looking van. It makes me think I need to reconsider my attachment to the 1st gen Olds Silhouette as my dream lowrider project. This is disconcerting.

As a kid in the 70s I dreamt of being able to drive a 917... not on a track but just, you know, around. Like to the store, or to the dentist, or to a restaurant or something. I still think this would be cool.

I bought my Buick LaCrosse specifically as a road trip car. It’s been great. an Impala or a Malibu might be good choices, given that Buick doesn’t really have any sedan to speak of anymore. You could go TourX, I guess. Jason’s Roadmaster suggestion is excellent, but I have an inherent Buick bias to be honest.

Myself, I just want to hear about bad things happening to him and his family. It pains me a little to write that out in words, because it’s totally not in my nature, but I want The Orange One to pay, and pay very very dearly for all the stultifyingly awful stuff he’s done... and I want his family to pay. Maybe they…

Sadly, I think your co-worker is right. There’s a shared delusion at work, here.

Ugh. You people.

You can still be excited. I’m excited for you. Nice going!
