Fun in the Sun

I’m glad the eclipse is over so I can go back to staring directly at the sun.

When is a Yes Just a Maybe?

No, this post is not about a serious subject like sexual assault. It’s another concert review. I attended the Yestival last night.

Am I a Yesticle if I attended the Yestival? I don’t know about a “full festival experience” per the pic, because I didn’t see much of the concert behind the 6 foot high privacy fence.

Incredible Inedible

While driving the interstate yesterday, I spotted a tanker truck that looked just like this …

Inedible Truck

I really wanted to ask the truck driver if he has had any problems with people eating or drinking whatever he is hauling directly from his truck.

Fat 1 – Jim 0

Well, that last weight loss plan of mine involving not farting did not work well at all. Chalk one up for the fat cells as I continue to struggle to lose weight.
