A great story about a woman who goes to the local shelter and reads books to the dogs to keep them company.

Can these be personal posts as well? I turned 40 yesterday and had myself a pretty excellent day. Rewinding the clock 20 years, it kind of blows me away at where I am today. I've somehow managed to find a career that I love while also finding a company willing to pay way above market value for my services. My kids are great, healthy, intelligent, happy and talented little shits that make me belly laugh about 20 times a day. The other night we watched the sunset over Red Rock National Conservation Area and then the lights of the Las Vegas strip turn on all through the framing of the new home we're building. Being on the western fringe sure has a different feeling than being on the northern fringe, which is where we started nine years ago when we first moved down here.

One of my favorite surprises were the two football tickets my wife tucked into her card. Oregon State, Section w12, row 7. I'll be fasting and praying that my football attendance curse was finally absolved with the Colorado loss.

Do we really though? I'm used to sports boards being populated exclusively with lawyers and accountants (all day in front of a screen); this board seems more diverse.

Of the top of my head, the only lawyers I can think of are LA, SeattleUTe, Scratch, me, MpFunk, and concerned. I'm sure I'm missing some, but we have a lot of people that have a more interesting life (DevilDog, Diehard, Justin, etc).

I think we have more engineers than lawyers, but Rocker, U-Ute, Wally and others of their ilk don't want to talk about that. They need scapegoats, and lawyers are perfect for that. It's OK, though; we are used to persecution.

I'm a lowly b-school grad with a masters in IS, so I don't measure up to the engineers, lawyers or doctors who frequent message boards. You can imagine my parent's disappointment.

What's the difference between in-laws and outlaws?

Outlaws are wanted.



I told my girlfriend she drew her eyebrows too high. She seemed surprised.


My friend asked me to help him round up his 37 sheep.

I said "40"



Noah told all of the animals to "Go forth and multiply." Two snakes came up to him and said, "We cant, we're adders," so Noah built them a log table.


I have the heart of a lion and a lifetime ban from the Toronto zoo.


I have an EpiPen. My friend gave it to me when he was dying, it seemed very important to him that I have it.

Yesterday, we had our work group’s Christmas lunch at an Italian restaurant. For the occasion, I wore one of my favorite Christmas sweaters. Without warning, after clearing the plates, our waitress surprised me with this. Either she misinterpreted the sweater or decided that there was some kind of likeness.

Yep. The comment section has been fantastic. And I got reported for being “unneighborly” for asking if there was a large anvil in the vicinity. Her explanation was that she’s from Oceanside and had never seen a coyote before in her life.

Neighborhood groups are interesting

Ring Video has neighborhood groups where you can share video

We moved in to our new house Saturday and I installed our door bell, and checked out the neighborhood group.

The first video is one asking for help to identify two individuals checking around the posters house with flashlights.

There are multiple people telling the poster to call the police

One problem.....the video very clearly shows two Unified Police Officers, in full uniform, checking the yard with flashlights🤦🏻

I'm starting to really hate the Ring Neighborhood community. The anonymity of it causes everyone to post footage of everyone with dark complexion steps onto their porch. Which also opens the door to those with strong biases to comment openly on said darkly complected individuals. Even when the complexion of a person can't even be identified in the video. It's been dishearteningly eye opening.

There are tons of coyotes in that area. We would see and hear them fairly regularly in San Clemente, which is just up the coast from Oceanside.
