Not really trivial, but this is as good a place to drop it as any:   My son has a SATB2 gene mutation which has left him with a severe speech delay.  He didn't say "Mama" until he was 7 (he'

Gonna post some pics of my 2 daughters’ first fishing outing.   Nothing cooler than the eyes of a child so thrilled about one of the oldest human traditions out there….   Pappy bought them f

When your wife tells you to sit down we need to talk, right after you get home from a work trip and you're thinking, "great what the hell did I do wrong", and then she pulls out a positive pregnancy t

Late Friday night when I pulled in the driveway all I could here was the wind in the trees.  No cars, AC units, dogs barking or people.  Just leaves/pine needles/palm fronds rustling in the wind. 

Music to my ears.

 

 

 

The mountains are calling and I must go.

Heading south yesterday getting on the HOV lane.  Two stupid fucks are hauling ass around me and the other 10-12 cars ahead that are already doing 65 in a 45.  They pass us on the left but arent seeing the HC motorcycle cops up ahead.  Both get pulled over.    Bet that put a damper on their morning.

The changing colors of the leaves at Fall. Love the gold, orange, purple, and red that's spread about with the remainder of the green leaves on all the trees in our area. 

And before one of you drops in to crap on my trivial thing that's pleasing with your "BUT YEAH, YOU NOW HAVE TO RAKE ALL THOSE LEAVES UP, MEH!", I don't give a shit about that at all. I'll put those in a pile so the kids can jump into them. I love the Fall. You can't take that away from me, you fucking killjoys.

Those trees are probably invasive species that have displaced the native elms and other hardwoods. By letting the leaves just sit and not raking them, you are choking out the few remaining seeds of the natives, preventing them from germinating.

the ability to speed up playback of insipid mandatory training videos that are at best tangentially relevant to my job.

when they don't have any 'speedbumps' to click on as the video progresses.

I can just hit "play," read some Surly, and take the assessment at the end.  Most often with an adult beverage in hand.  This is training engagement at its best.

Not really relevant, but they don't call them "speedbumps" around here. They call them "speed humps" and I can't pass by any of the signs warning about them without giggling like a junior high girl.

I'll be honest, I'd never heard of "rumble strips" until I lived in NoCar. Saw the sign "Rumble Strips Ahead" and immediately thought it was some sort of rippled potato chip.

Flawless weekly trip to HEB (when its open).  Long, pre-Thankgiving Day list.  Arrive 9:30 on Sunday morning to plenty of open parking spots in my row.  Make it through the produce section without wanting to kill some dumbass.  No line at the deli counter.  Everything on the list was stocked and available.  Perfect choice of checkout lane - no line and the fucking A team on scanning and sacking.  I've been shopping at this HEB since it opened in 2004 and today was probably the best, all around trip ever.

Aviation thoughts:

1.) During the day, when I see contrails I can just stare at them as the change from thin to widening.

2.) At night, on a cloudless night, when there's a plane way up in the sky, looking like a slow moving shooting star I wonder where it came from and where its going.

Download the FlightRadar24 app. It's free, and cool as shit. 

The thing, I dont really want to know.  I just like thinking about this possibilities.

On a related note, when I'm flying I love looking out the window and trying to pick out landmarks (if I know where things are) or just watching the topography.  S

Flightradar24 is worth the premium subscription. Lots of cool shit to view, cockpit view and such.

my friend in jersey seems to be under the flight path of pretty much anything from PHL (and on south to ATL) on its way to europe.  sat in his backyard drinking beers and watching heavies overhead all afternoon.

Before I subscribed, I didn't know how much of the traffic over my place was international to and from Houston and the Middle East. I also get a lot of traffic to/from Mexico City

Actually really fun playing that game when flying into DCA
