Politics And Current Events
I'm of the mindset that if Biden stays in and wins, he will step aside somewhere within the 2 year mark to allow Harris to serve 2 years to finish his term and 2 more full terms. Who knows if she can win an election beyond finishing Biden's term, but I think that's the play.

But given our other choice in the election, yes. I think Biden will likely have a competent cabinet, chief of staff, etc that will effectively lead the government. I do not have similar faith in the other elderly presidential candidate or his party writ large.

We both are - but I doubt it would've made a significant enough discount. But going forward, we'll check that rate.

I guess this counts as travel, but we looked at getting a hotel for two nights near Clemson for parents' weekend in September. The Hampton Inn we've stayed in before - and actually will stay in May for a baseball weekend for $140 a night - is charging $700+ a night. I know football season throws eve...

Yes, my dad died in August and my mom died in September. I wrote their obits and handled some of the probate/estate stuff, and I couldn't tell you without looking it up what the exact dates were. In fact, back in November, while talking with my sister, I had the entire timeline off - I thought my mo...

Someone posted about their home owners insurance going up for seemingly no reason. Now, car makers are reporting driving habits to insurance companies. Good times.

TikTok is banned on SC state government networks. Evidently, on Texas government networks as well as my son sent me a Tiktok last week while I was staying at a conference on UT-Austin's campus.

I had to run some sulfuric acid down my kids' sink yesterday. I love the burning smell and gurgling sounds the drain makes as it burns the crud out. Sadly, not for copper pipes.

Also, at least for high school students here, they are on a quarter system. Meaning they take only four classes per semester, so they can only miss 4 classes before having to make them up over the summer.
