There’s a cybersecurity company that advertises on some podcast that I listen to. Their tagline is “We stop breaches!” My brain immediately adds, “But not culottes!”

You know the white tank-top style undershirts that for years have been called “wife-beaters”? I’ve just run into a style blog that’s started calling them “wife-pleasers,” which I think is hilarious re-branding.

Mildly amusing. Low peak for the first dog walk, notch for drinking coffee and Jumbletime, then my most active time is 7:00 AM, for the second dog walk.
Before I got a dog, my most active time was 11:00 AM, because that’s when I finally get to my workout.

That second rule seems odd. “No pets without leash or horses.” Does that mean that if your dog has two or more horses it can be off-leash?

Me, responding to Jackie (asking if I want her to close the house up): “Don’t do anything on my account. Do whatever makes sense to you. Or, if nothing makes sense to you… be confused.”
