Yeah, it’s a walkout. Post no comments about wildcats until conditions improve.

Cougars are OK.

On November 15, 2026, the Voyager 1 spacecraft will officially be one light-day from Earth.

Well, it’s also a light day here, so post a comment if you have anything noticeable to share. Not noteworthy, necessarily, just noticeable.

I’m losing my faith in my bet that the spacecraft will make the Kessel run in less than five parsecs.

Just wanted to memorialize Dohtimes’ description of bathroom noises. Carry on.

I thought driver-less cars would only kill you and drive through active crime scenes when they’re not supposed to. I didn’t foresee this:

Runaway Waymo that dropped passenger at California airport is every traveler’s worst nightmare: ‘It’s not my mistake’
New York Post | May 1, 2026 | Nina Joudeh

A Bay Area businessman’s first ride in a driverless Waymo turned into an airport nightmare when the robotaxi allegedly sped off with his luggage still locked in the trunk — leaving him stranded without clothes, work materials, or answers before a flight to San Diego.

Di Jin said his Monday trip from Sunnyvale to San Jose Mineta International Airport went smoothly until he arrived at the terminal and tried to retrieve his suitcase.

“I pressed the trunk open button, tried to get my luggage, but it doesn’t do anything, and it drives away immediately,” Jin told NBC.

The stunned passenger immediately contacted Waymo customer service, only to be told the autonomous vehicle was already heading back to its depot and could not return.

One Waymo to another: “Have you any Grey Pupon?”

Other Waymo: “No, just some Di Jin.”

But this raises the question: What if you’re in Death Valley and ask the Waymo to wait a minute while you hop out and take a photograph — but you take two minutes?

I sense another screenplay coming on!

Since this post was typed a couple of weeks earlier, I might already be dead. Isn’t that weird?

PLOT:

The main character books an all-inclusive 2-week voyage on a festive partying cruise line. Not trusting his self-discipline with unlimited no-extra-cost booze, he purchases the Nanny Package, to have a responsible person to supervise him.

When the (naturally, good-looking) nanny objects, he points out the loophole in the program — it doesn’t specify that the supervised person must be a kid.

SURPRISING PLOT TWIST:

The main character is not a transsexual or lesbian.

Feel free to throw out your own ideas.

How has the computer age aided or hindered religion?

You can use search engines and search terms to locate biblical passages on any subject you’re looking for, rather than relying on the encyclopedic memory of ol’ Uncle Pete down the road. That’s got to be a positive.

On the other hand, Democrats will definitely put you on a terrorist watch list if you do.

Laziness keeps you out of all sorts of trouble. Just now, I was tempted to go raise some hell, but decided it wasn’t worth getting up out of my chair. And I’m betting it’s for the best.

Random thought: People talk about “yesterday” and “yesteryear,” but mention “yestermonth” and they will look at you funny.

I read the news today, oh boy: ten thousand halals in Blackburn, Lancashire.

“A Boy Named Sue” and “The Lumberjack Song” were supposed to be comedy.
