The lower 48 were all states by early 1912... seems odd to call MN "the Northwest" in 1921... ?

I came to Bloomington to eat chilitos and water my mom’s plants… and I’m all out of chilitos

fast food with empty wrapper and napkins in it and a fast food cup from Zantigo on an empty chilito wrapper smeared with taco sauce… chilitos are puréed chili and melted cheese in a flour tortilla

curmudgeon complaint of the day:

the phrase “on a dime,” a prepositional phrase (that works as an adverb) describing a tight space, very quickly, right on time… somehow became just the noun “dime,” a football thrown very well, or the throw itself

WTH, stoopid football talkers

I lived in that region for a long time and never bothered to see what’s going on there. Thank you for your service.

I just spent around two hours with my (deceased) cousin’s children on Facetime. I used to love kids- went to school to be a teacher, was a camp counselor, etc.
One of them calls me sometimes, and I’m not the same guy I was, but I remember the joy of children. I’m glad they call.
They’re great kids

I'm looking for sources... I just read someone assert that very thing as true.

Well, there's a surveillance cam photo of him going into a doctor's office the day before he died... I don't think it's a secret that he was in pain.

shit, listen…

I hate, really *do not like* talking on the phone

my nephew, 22, kept me on the line for over two hours this evening

the dude is solid; he doesn’t understand how forward-thinking he is (given the current state of… us)

he’s back in Duluth and they’re lucky to have him

Neither I, nor anyone who knows me, would tell you I’m good at being an adult. I am an adequate adult and I feel young until I go to my mailbox on days like this one.

I spent the afternoon/evening with my mom and my ex-gf (obvsly, we’re cool). Mom had a gallstone blocking her bile duct and holy shit, does that cause a lot of trouble. Her liver function numbers need to improve, then she can go home. Fingers crossed.
