Frank has had enough complaining about the Mets. He needed something else

He is right, though.

Nope. No ad blocker on my phone. Using Chrome. It's such a pain in the ass.

I only use my phone. I can’t do this site on my chromebook

Come for the dog pictures*, stay for more evidence for why people shouldn't trust me with important things.

*He had a great walk. Met a new friend and got to play with him for 15 minutes, which is way longer than I should have to endure making small talk about the housing market with a stranger. Found a real good stick the length of his body. Quickly figured out how to carry it in a manner which creates a dog weapon, the stick whip. Would only walk home if we brought the stick with us.

5 Stars. Would Dog Again.

Frank is ALWAYS right.

We got mosquitoes in Florida that apparently we're genetically modified by Bill Gates. Oh and malaria popped back up.

Heading to Shenandoah NP this weekend with the 10 year old daughter. A little tubing on the river, night hikes, ziplining, and star gazing. Hopefully she cooperates and enjoys it too. If not, there's a brewery close by where I can drink my dinner and she can eat hers.

Anyone got any suggestions for some great generic flex hats? The ones from Fanatics and New Era f***ing suck, especially with my head (about 7 3/4) and getting fitted hats that fit properly without feeling like my head is either being squeezed out or it's just barely on my head has been tough. I really wanted to change out my hat.

Mammoth Headwear is a newish company for us fellas with giant heads. I can't speak to the quality or anything myself on those though. I wear hats from Coal Headwear, who make a few styles with a "roomy" crown that fit my big old dome. You can sort on their website to see those specific styles. I own a half dozen of the Hauler hats in different colors. Might not fit your style, but I can personally vouch for them.

You know, I could of f***ing sworn they were owned by New Era but they are not. I'll take a look. Thanks.

We have a quite unusual old dude at work who kept bragging that he couldn't get Covid because he had malaria. He got it this year.

Stockton Rush's friend who took a dive in the Titan sub warned him paying customers could 'panic' if they heard the same 'breaking sounds 2 miles under water' that he did

Karl Stanley heard cracking noises on a Titan dive in 2019. It's unclear whether the Titan passengers heard noises before the catastrophic implosion.
