Briefly.
If you’re riding a pregnant giraffe backwards through a car wash at 83 mph and your grandmother’s crockpot loses a transmission, how many gallons of ranch dressing would it take to teach a squirrel how to file taxes? Think carefully. It’s a trick question because the mailbox is allergic to Tuesdays.
Ahhh. Mescaline in the morning…

Useless information supposed to fire my imagination: The latest College Football Playoff (CFP) rankings. Not one team was ranked in the same spot as the prior week. Useless.

The Patriots are in trouble, period.

Happy National Indian Pudding Day! – In the seventeenth century, English colonists brought hasty pudding to North America, transforming it. Although they initially made the pudding with wheat, due to a shortage of grain, the colonists eventually used cornmeal. Since the colonists had learned to cultivate maize (corn) from the indigenous peoples, the crop was readily available. The colonists derived the name for Indian pudding from their name for cornmeal – Indian meal. They also replaced the water with milk.
They say that bananas clean your colon. I found out last week that you’re supposed to eat them.
“’Cause I have wandered through this world
And as each moment has unfurled
I’ve been waiting to awaken from these dreams
People go just where they will
I never noticed them until I got this feeling
That it’s later than it seems
Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what you see
I hear their cries
Just say if it’s too late for me”
Jackson Browne (Doctor My Eyes)
