I’m at the age where I ordered new glasses and I’m really excited to get them. I’ve been wearing contacts for over 20 years. I’m tired of them.

The Cardinals radio broadcast commercials are awful. I really don’t want to hear Ricky Horton talking about masculinity. 🤮

I’m old now, so of course I like to listen to and identify birds on my walks with Spike. So far, I have 22 different species identified using the Merlin Bird ID app. This is just walking around my condo complex.

The search in the mail app on iOS is broken. Searched for an email on my phone and it could not find it. Scroll through my email and find it just fine. Use the same search term on the Mac and it found it just fine too.

Please no more of this. I just want to watch the game.

Quality Control

I still remember when I bought Jurassic 5’s album Quality Control. I had never heard of Jurassic 5 before, but it was the year 2000 and one of the things you did in the 90s and 2000s is look at the weekly ads to see what new music releases were coming out that week. This was prime CD era when Target and Best Buy dedicated aisles upon aisles of their store to physical media. I remember looking through Best Buy’s ad one Sunday to see what new music was coming out that Tuesday (yes, friends, new music used to come out on Tuesdays). In the ad that Sunday, for only $6.99, was Quality Control.

My dad and I were talking about bad umpires and I could not remember Bucknor’s name for some reason. This is hilarious. First result when searching “bad umpire”.

I knew WordPress had become bloated over the years. I didn’t realize how bad until I stared downloading and deleting all the files from an old, but up to date, site. I don’t think I’m going to regret replacing it with something much lighter.

I’ve been playing around with Pure Blog a bit. I may wind up using it on an old blog that I only keep up for archival purposes. There’s no need to keep WordPress running on a blog I never post to anymore. Or I could just delete the old blog.
