Why didn't it tell me I'm a knuckle-dragging troglodyte? Because it doesn't know you as well as we do.

Moderate leaning libertarian conservative.
One needn't be on social media long to see the leftward slant of the algorithms. It's the water the entire culture swims in. More often, progressive thinking believes itself to be moderate, and conservative knows itself to be counter culture.

I was just the other day thinking they ought to redo this one.

So it's come to this? This is the new "getting layed"?

Great music in search of a context.

Even if I could post video here, you'd barely see it, All I had was my phone. It caught my eye over the open fields south of Pierceton.
If you see a big bird in the skies over Indiana, it's most likely going to be a turkey vulture. It could also be a crane, a heron, a hawk, harrier, or osprey...or an eagle.
A few seconds of watching it's flight I realized I was witnessing yet another eagle on my route. But I didn't see the confirming white head and tail feathers...
...until movement in the sky to the left of the big bird caught my eye. THIS bird had the white markings. ....oh... and so did one of the other two that were circling overhead. Two adults and two juveniles.
It's the first time I've seen multiple eagles in a single sighting.

I can't remember a tournament when I've seen more missed free throws.

Man dead following fatal crash in Eau Claire County The dead man was found in Kosciusko County, Indiana and was not in the crash in Eau Claire County, but we're running out of ink and combining stories to economize.

Man dead following fatal crash in Eau Claire County Experts guess that he was probably in one or the other of the two cars.

That was the most fun I've had watching basketball in years.
Dar asked me "Oakland California?". I said "I don't know. I'll look it up."
Omg. THAT Oakland. For about 15 years we did a holiday art show in their gym.
My coworker Evan said "You know that kid will be selling insurance in two years".
But he sorta made history last night.

Free songwriting workshop with Pierce Pettis at noon at Baton Rouge Community College! What a maddening disappointment. Pierce was fine, but BRCC was ill-prepared for him. No sound system, just the proximity mic inherent with the lectern. Could hear him. Just everything they did was so haphazard. Well, at least he got paid. Poor Pierce. It had to have been more than 20 years ago. I found out that Pettis was going to have a concert at Goshen College. I was so excited to get the chance to see a guy who had by then become one of my favorite writers. My first hint that something might be wrong was when I called the college to try to get tickets. I must have been transfered 4 or 5 times before someone came on the phone who actually knew what I was asking for. They said they would hold a ticket for me at the door. I had recently been up to the college for a book reading with Garrison Keillor. It was sold out and overflow seating was provided in two other campus rooms. I went early for the Pettis concert. It was general seating and I wanted to make sure I got a good seat. Nobody else arrived for at least an hour. I walked into the "concert hall" -- a no longer used '50s vintage gymnasium with a stage beneath a backboard. There were a few rows of folding chairs facing the stage. There was only ambient lighting and it maybe wasn't cave-dark, but it WAS mouth-of-a-cave dark. It gets better. The opening act was a duet of white, Christian rappers. I didn't even know there was such thing as Christian rap. I kinda wish I still didn't know. So the 12 or so of us in attendance sat through a half hour of angry white Christian boys strutting the gymnasium stage with Garth Brooks mics on their heads and their hands turned down at the wrist and their fingers splayed while they advanced the backs of them toward us threateningly. It's apparently a rapping convention to do so. Finally Pettis came on. The acoustics were so bad that the only way I understood a single word he sang was because I already knew his music. To Goshen's credit, when powers that be got wind of what had happened, they invited him back for a proper concert in a proper hall.

I saw another bald eagle yesterday. It was on the ground like the last one I saw, but this time it was much closer to the road. It didn't move when I drove by so I turned around and parked probably 30-40 feet from it. It still didn't move as I was taking photos, but the photos weren't very interesting -- a standing bird. So I thought I'd see what it did if I walked toward it. It flew off the second I opened the door.
