    Funny you say that, because I had some dude flip the fuck out on me this morning at the corner of Green Valley and Crosshaven. I was trying to take a right onto Crosshaven, but they had it momentarily blocked for construction. I could go straight on Green Valley for a detour, but it generally takes as long as just waiting on the construction crew to tell you to go. This has been a daily routine for me for months without really any issue. Today, this old dude got right up on my bumper and laid on the horn for a solid 5 seconds and then whipped around me, almost hitting the woman working on the construction crew holding the stop sign. It was bizarre.

    One positive spin out of last night's tragedy is we can now officially retire the term "boomer potluck".

    If having 6 kinds of Mac and cheese available to me is wrong, I don’t want to be right.

    Ugh. That's horrible and so scary. My wife's BFF sends her kid to daycare at that church and they're understandably freaked out.

    Every time I drive by (like 10 years now) I'm in a hurry. Need to stop. The hole in the wall joints like that were where it was at when I lived in Texas. Thanks for the tip on ordering, Tegg.

    Apologies if I've asked this before, but anyone got a rec on a kitchen appliance repair place? Specifically, my fridge/freezer defrost seems all messed up. TIA.

    This guy literally fixed my freezer this morning and taught me how to do it himself. He wasn't cheap but he responds quickly and has fixed everything I have ever used him for.

    Awesome. Ideally, that's exactly what I need. I'm fairly handy, but every time I've got to go around for hours with a multimeter, I want to slit my wrists. Happy to pay someone to do it once.

    UPDATE: thanks, Snakes guy got back to me right away. Called and talked for about 5m to try and pre-diagnose. I always appreciate that sort of thing. Saves everybody money/time.

    I hate to say it, but I've had very mixed meals there. Like, about 50/50. The folks I recommend to go (who generally have more distinguished tastes than me) are same.

    The tomato salad is always great; I remember the seafood all being cooked perfectly, but just not anything insane to me.
