Thursday miscellanea #335

They just closed my wife’s high school forever. RIP, Butler.
Based on my consistent observation, if you’re going I-565 W to County Line Road on afternoon commute, there is no time difference between taking the Wall Triana exit and taking the County Line exit. Using the County Line exit and then driving straight into a green arrow at the light is the only way to reliably beat Wall Triana traffic. It’s a tossup otherwise.
Did you know that Oscar the Grouch is orange, and actually appeared on Sesame Street‘s first season that way? He looks green because he has swamp muck all over him.
The first Kiss song I ever heard live was “I Stole Your Love.” The first Cheap Trick song I ever heard live was “Just Got Back.” Aerosmith? “Toys in the Attic.” That was on my 17th birthday. Motley Crue? “All In the Name of…” Def Leppard? “Stagefright.” Guns N’ Roses? “It’s So Easy.” I like having a good memory for that kind of thing.
The first episode of The Whispers didn’t hook me like Wayward Pines, but I’m interested enough to watch it again. That Lea is much more interested in The Whispers might ultimately be the difference for me. We haven’t watched anything together in first run since Six Feet Under.
Looks like awesome weather in Fort Worth for the Firestone 600 Saturday night. Hoping Tony Kanaan can get it turned around this weekend.
I just bought one of these “portable power banks.” I’ve never wanted/needed more than a single charge of my phone from such a thing, so portability makes sense for me over capacity. I’ll let you know how it goes. Fit and finish is impressive.
