[At this time of year, I don’t know why I even bother trying to keep up my “a post a day” habit since we’re out at the lake every chance we get and since the Internet is crappy out there, I couldn’t post very easily, even if I wanted to. Then I get back and […]

I’m The King of Twitter! (At Least the Ice Cream Truck Section)
Kinda funny that my most successful tweet of all-time (at least based on Likes) is a throwaway reply to a heart-warming viral thread about ice cream trucks… A couple at the campground where we spend summers have an ice cream cart.

Hospitalisations highest since April https://t.co/hFiriFHY3r — […]
