The words "temporary elevator" don't really instill confidence, do they?

I love the idea of a storage unit for my sons, although I might not take them out of storage every weekend. Maybe twice a month.

I think I’m bad luck for Taiwan.

I lived there from 2011-2015. After moving away, Typhoon Soudelor hit, the most damaging typhoon in years.

Moved back in 2016, lived there until 2023. Moved to Chicago and now Taiwan gets the strongest earthquake in 25 years.

Fortunately everyone I know is safe and sound, and other than a few spots on the relatively sparsely-populated east coast, things are back to normal.

Well at least you're not running for the Leadership of Chine, then Taiwan would really be screwed!

Bad luck? Isn't it more culturally like you're a goldfish absorbing the bad luck?

Wife mentioned sweeping up peanut shells off the front deck the other day, and I filled in a hole under the steps over the weekend too. My guess is someone in the neighborhood has been leaving food out for animals and he had a stash or a nest or something where I filled the hole. Hope there's no babies in there

Is the race of the squirrel really needed in that story? Jesus. Just say squirrel.

In feng shui, black goldfish absorbs bad luck. If your black gold fish dies without known cause, it is considered that the goldfish took the bad luck on your behalf.

If you really look around when stopped at busy intersections you will notice a lot of people picking their nose. I saw several people yesterday and a couple were really digging hard.

In a curbside pickup spot waiting for an order. Watch someone double park in curbside pickup spots, laugh and walk into the store. I couldn't help but laugh too.

Super Store and Safeway both didn't have Stoned Wheat Thins today. Not even a spot where it was empty. It's just like they never existed.

Did you check to see if they had any in stock at the superstore liquor store?
