"Insults" from the internet that apparently I'm supposed to take offense to:
- "Nice shirt."
- "You write about bobsledding."
- "Your favorite baseball team is a minor league team."
- "Your favorite football team is a CFL team."
All just statements of fact, really.

Listen, if you're going to dress all old timey and everything that's great, but then using a microphone like you're on stage with Def Leppard? GTFO
You get a big old timey megaphone and do it all period appropriate-like.

Hell yeah, North American Cup bobsled and skeleton finishes its season in the last week of March.
Punxsutawney Phil is said to have seen his shadow, predicting 6 more weeks of winter weather. Follow AP for live updates.
Groundhog Day live updates: Punxsutawney Phil predicts 6 more weeks of winter
Tens of thousands of people are gathering for Punxsutawney Phil, a groundhog that lives in a tree stump, to predict if the already long and cold winter across much of the United States will go on for another six weeks or if an early spring is around the corner.

Southern Pacific was not formed by a merger 58 years ago so I have no idea what Natalie is talking about.

Remind me of when we got snow one year, and Deacon really wanted to go lay in the sun because it was pretty warm the next day.
So we had to compromise, because Deacon was very upset that he could not lay outside

Man, really torn between my disdain for Norfolk Southern and my disdain for stopping directly on train tracks.
I feel bad for the engineer though. Poor person can’t do anything about it.
