    What are you OCD about?

    If I was riding in your car, I'd jump out. Or, I'd just fix the clock.

    What are you OCD about?

    Time....every daylight savings time, I go around to all the digital clocks in my house and our cars, and synchronize them to the time on my phone. If one lags or speeds up during the ensuing months, I'll readjust it. For any analog clock, I'll get it as close as possible. There's only one correct answer to "What time is it?" : Ask the Melons!

    "Scrubs" reboot gets greenlighted at ABC...

    Loved the show, but 15 years later? I'll give it a shot, with low expectations. Maybe that's a good thing....

    I don't wonder, and I don't care. Thanks for the laugh.

    Musk launches new political party

    Libertarianism is also by definition limited, constitutional government and personal responsibility. So....no Welfare, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, no gun control, very limited business regulations. So, I guess you can't be a libertarian if you don't believe all these things either, right? You know, you can identify with a political party and not agree with everything they stand for. That goes for Democrat, Republicans, or any 3rd party. By the way, the Libertarian party no longer espouses open borders. Since 9/11, they've been in favor of regulated immigration.

    The show at the Centrum was the one where I sold my ticket.

    2024 - 2025 NHL Season...

    Well, I'll be at a wedding Fri night. At least I don't have to worry about findng a TV at the function hall to catch the game.

    Trial of Karen Read - Thoughts?

    Yeah, I guess you could look at it that way. The state said they would re-try again if it was a hung jury. I don't know where this MA lawyer you speak of gets the notion that 3 or 4 retrials in MA is a thing. I've lived here my entire 61 years of existence, and I can only think of one high profile trial that went to 3 trials. Years ago, some guy was accused of murdering his wife on a boat and tossing her body overboard. The first trial ended up 6-6, the first retrial was 9-3 to convict, and the 3rd trial was 11-1 to convict. The state gave up, and the guy walked.
