I saw a 35 year old man wearing pjs in the airport today.

Starts what? Crying?

Every year, I pick out 1 or 2 YouTubers who post hiking videos and watch them attempt to through hike the Appalachian Trail. This year, I watched a 23 year old girl and her mom attempt the trek. They were from the Bay Area in CA. The daughter talked about acing the MCAT and her future career in medicine. She studied abroad in Ireland. She had top of the line hiking gear and watched shows on Netflix at night. The daughter had a friend in NYC and visited her twice during the 7 months it took to hike the trail. She went to Broadway shows and shopped for a dress to wear to a relative’s wedding. She joked how the people in GA and SC didn’t know how to make a good chai latte. She got a nice apartment in Philadelphia while hiking so she could move there and attend school after the hike. She now works as a nanny for a family with a couple of kids.

In one of her last videos on the trail, she complained that she was looking forward to using her EBT card because it would have a few month’s of credit on it but someone hacked her account and stole “her” money.

Nate was kind of a boring player.

I’m surprised they targeted Nate when this was the perfect opportunity to blindside a dangerous player like Savannah. Christina seemed like the one to push for Nate. Christina has no chance of winning if she’s going to play safe.

She was also the captain of her challenge team and picked the team. Nate was the only POC not on her team. Hmmm…

Nike Alphfly. Worth it?

I’m not an expert and probably the last person to give advice. What caught my eye was the poster mentioned the Superblast, which I like, and thought I might like his choice of racing shoe, too.

From a cost perspective, if you like the shoe and only wear it a few times per year, it’s going to last a while. If you can make it work in your budget, why not?

I wear my Novablasts for everything except long runs, and Superblasts for long run only.

Curious what your race day shoe is for a half marathon.

Wrong. They use real SSNs they’ve stolen from legit citizens.

No one has mentioned the impact illegals have on housing supply. Anyone whining about not being able to afford a starter home needs to realize who’s living in them now.

Nice work, as usual.

Young Booey would have launched bottle rockets from that cannon.

And in 1981, they drafted George Rogers and Rickey Jackson, among others. Do you think the 2026 draft has the same quality? If the quality is there, can this team identify it?

It’s strange that we’re seeing lots of videos made by shoplifters or people supporting shoplifting but none of those folks make videos of going to charity food pantries/banks and receiving food.

Where I live, the food banks and churches have gone into overdrive asking for donations and getting the word out that food is available there. Walmart is not the only option for food. Teaching their kids that stealing is preferable to accepting charity…sad.
