Thought of the day

Happy birthday to the best baby basset!! Lucy Lou Magoo is now 4, which makes her about 32 in human years. My super-smart science bros tell me that brain development wraps up around age 32, marking the exact moment a chaotic adolescent brain officially shifts into stable adulthood. This is great news for Lucy, who can now officially blame her complete refusal to move off the couch on 'mature intellectual stability' rather than pure, unadulterated laziness.

In today's episode of "Have we lost our freaking minds": One major concern stemming from wildfire prediction markets is arson.” Will betting on wildfires lead to arson? Seriously, what in the wide world of fudge is going on?
In tomorrow's episode of "Have we lost our freaking minds": Mr. Shife will see if there is an obscenity prediction market and what is over/under on f-bombs when a third appliance dies in the Shifley household. We lost our fridge and microwave this week, and we all know stuff happens in threes. I would be OK if we just had to replace a hand mixer.

Thanks for stopping by, and I will talk to you soon.
