Gas price at the pump this past Saturday: $2.99. Gas price on Monday morning, same station and all of the others I pass on my commute: $3.29.

I would like to say that I look at the price at the pump and it has gone up. Because math proves it.

My grade school daughter is smarter than the president. Why? Because she:

- knows what a magnet is
- what can be done with it
- there is a magnetic field around the earth protecting us

and, more importantly

- that the president is a nincompoop. And has the intellect of a wet cabbage.

Okay youngins, time to get Mr Peabody and Sherman, dust off the Wayback Machine and take a trip into the past to the time of Bert the Turtle and the concept of Duck and Cover, and Fallout Shelters in public buildings and schools.

Maybe time to rebroadcast The Day After as an Afterschool Special

Thank you, Dakota. This is brilliant.

That’s a bold strategy Cotton, let’s see if it pays off for him.

This would be a great shirt design or sticker.

Keep up the great work and may you receive the Nobel Fin Prize

Great. Let’s use that “gold” to pay for healthcare for all.

I remember meeting your co-star Jed a few times. He was very nice to talk with but refused to sign his name. But I did get several nice tail wags & smiles from him.

I’ve always wondered, what was it like working with him?

I would have wanted to play, and I’d bet he would have been good at it.

Reminds me of my Summers drifting down Minnehaha Creek from Edina to Lake Nokomis. So many afternoons just relaxing in the water.

*this is not the first time I’ve been passed in rush hour on left shoulder and run into. Last time was also a hit and run, totaled my truck and broke my arm. What is it with people thinking it’s okay to pass on the left shoulder even if there’s traffic ahead?

So, thank you to whomever ruined my front bumper and perfectly aligned headlights. Thank you for continuing to drive like nothing happened. During rush hour while so many other people witnessed the event. May your brain power and wisdom enhance down the road.

Guy gets off highway and I follow in hopes he’s stopping to exchange informa… nope. Runs red light. Dispatch tells me not to follow.

Trooper calls and gets details. Case number received. Request for traffic cams initiated.

My dash cam power failed last week and new one sitting at home.

After turning him about 45° sideways and removing part of his right rear panel and bumper, he regained control and straightened out. I put my hazards on and pulled onto left shoulder, nope… he kept driving. Accelerating away. So I call 911 and follow, give license plate number and description.

Vacationing in Black Hills, SD and Roosevelt NP, ND. Have had clouds come in nearly each night.

Last night I beat them. View looking up from campfire dinner and from atop Mount Coolidge. (Just phone photos, haven’t processed from big camera yet)
