Usually it’s my daughter who alerts me. “Blahg entry moom?” But she knew we were out of town and likely carousing around with friends. And we were but that was waaaaay earlier in the evening.

Anyway, I was writing a blahg entry last night and it was waaaaay too quiet in our hotel room. I’m not a big TV watcher but I asked the GG to try to find something on TV that wasn’t too obnoxious. He flipped around a bit and we ended up with a “reality” show channel. That is, reality shows like the old show “Cops” (Bad boys bad boys whatcha gonna do?), not the kind like “Naked and Afraid”. This channel was perfect for my purposes because I could tune in and out. (To be honest, Naked and Afraid has sucked me in before too.)

I was going through my usual endless cycle of edit/tweak, “Save Draft”, “Preview”, repeat with my blahg, when a show came on about modern gold prospectors in Greenland and that one sorta sucked me in. At least more than the one where they were salvaging an old ice cream truck from under 40 feet of water in a quarry, although that was pretty interesting too once you figured out that there were no people in the truck when it went over the edge.

In the end, I forgot to hit “Publish”. Note that there are days I miss posting for technical reasons but they are few and far between. Even if I’m vomiting up a norovirus, I can usually manage to squeak out, “communing with Eco-terlet, back later” or whatever. TMI?

We took a leisurely drive home on the back roads this morning and I didn’t look at my blahg like I often do in the morning. When we got home, I went to the grocery store, which was slammed like I knew it would be at noon on a Sunday. It was so slammed I couldn’t even use my own personal U-scan musheen🐲 Eventually I saw a comment on *Friday’s* entry wondering where *yesterday’s* was and, sure enough, it wasn’t there. So thanks bloggy friend Pam!🤣

I also have not listened to or looked at news since Friday afternoon. We got into Mooon Yooonit this morning and I wanted Willie’s Roadhouse or something but I couldn’t make satty-lite radio work well enough to find it. I didn’t really want NPR news so I just left the radio off. I should know how to work the radio in Moooon Yooonit but I don’t drive her very often, mostly because there’s always a lot of crapola in her, including a big plastic skeleton that sits in the passenger seat. With light-up eyes and a MAGA hat🤪 And yes, he is seat-belted in.

Finally, the pics are of Dagwood’s, a popular Lansing bar that’s on our way into town when we’re heading to the annual symposium. I doubt they have changed the decor significantly since 1947 (except for all the TVs and stuff) but that’s part of what we like about it. And the food (which is “bar food”) is great and the servers are tops! Just before I took the picture of the sign, I had walked out the door and down the steps and I had to grab onto a nearby brick half-wall (to the left out of frame) because a big gust of wind barreled down Kalamazoo Street and tried to knock me off balance.
