So she's a huge horror movie fan.

Over the summer, her program went around to learn about local architecture, and they visited this gothic church, and she asked the priest if anything paranormal was going on in there.

Man, you guys are having a warm winter with plants blooming or whatever? We haven't been above freezing for like 2 weeks.

I gotta work outside all day next week for a couple days on a goddam harness, so that's gonna be fun. Never wore my fall harness with full winter gear, so I guess I'll have to try all that on tomorrow.

Generally being on the roof of a place in winter is not a great thing in the midwest, because there will be snow, and a lot of it.

But this place is an exception. It's a steel foundry, so it's always like 200 degrees inside. And the giant pipes I'm going to scan on the roof of the foundry are usually about 800 degrees. The plant will be offline for a couple days, so I have to do it then.

My dad told me he recently bought a .45, maybe for his birthday.
Said he forgot how strong the recoil is (used one in Vietnam).

Why not. Not sure how his neighbors feel about it.

Today.

I felt incredibly old.

We were playing one of those fill-in-the-blank card games (apples to apples, cards against humanity, terrible therapist, joking hazard), and one of the cards referenced goatse.

And us 40+ old folks giggled. But the <30 people weren't familiar. At all. Not even with tubgirl, which I remember we went on an asshole-streak years ago to hassle LadyA by acting like there was nothing wrong with it...

I shared with them an inspired cake, so they might get the idea. It was also linked from wikipedia, which adds wholesomeness.

The cake was missing the wedding ring.

We're purchasing a mail inspection hood for the office because the incoming mail has become noticeably more fucked up after recent events.

My Gen Z coworkers are like "haha this seems extra" or "my mom always says weird stuff about anthrax and I thought it was just my mom being weird"

ugh, same. Pretty sure I'm gonna have to go get shots for it this time, my arm is tingly in most positions and it's not resolving itself like it usually does. Haven't had to get a shot for it for like 10 years.

Fair State was a pretty great brewery. There was a lot of shenanigans with them being bought out by a corporate entity and not communicating with their shareholders. The tap room is closed, but I guess you can still buy their beers that are still being brewed. I really like their Pils.

Last week when I flew back home from ATL-MSP the guy next to me just raw dogged the whole trip. Sat right there in the middle seat for almost 3 hours. Never once touched his phone. Seatback monitor off. No headphones. Staring blankly straight ahead for the 2:42 it took to fly. Just straight NPC behavior for almost 3 hours.

It was unsettling.
