    New shipping person comes in my office this morning looks around and says she can't talk to me because I am a Packer fan. I said thats fine and thank you. I enjoy people that don't talk to me.

    Mom is finally going home tomorrow, she is far from being 100% but getting her home is important to her recovery. Hard to tell mom she is not going to drive her convertible in Florida or her brand new never been driven BMW she has had sitting since last summer.

    hah, missed this previously.
    I just don't listen to VMs. Gives me Deniability.

    "I left you a voicemail."
    alternate (and more common):​
    "Your voicemail box was full so I couldn't leave you a message."

    "I don't listen to voicemails. I get multiple BS spam voicemails per day. If it was important you would text."

    I have literally had this conversation with my boss at least every other week for over 2 years.

    I don't know that it's climate change. Maine's moose population is still going pretty strong and their climate is milder than Minnesota's.

    Seems to me it's brain worms and wolves. Maine doesn't have wolves (at least any verified populations.)

    The DNR says it is climate change, we know it is wolves. Isle Royal added wolves because they had too many moose.

    They had too many moose because the previously augmented wolf population crashed.

    My Grandson is now officially a shareholder of the Green Bay Packers. Can't wait to take him to an owners meeting, take him to the owners only section at the Packers Pro Shop. Well worth the investment to keep him from becoming a viking fan.

    Headed to commission a new landfill cell Tuesday. Going to be cold and windy. The landfill is about an hour 15 minutes straight west of the house. I have to drive thru Kensington to get there. When I am done I am stopping at the Kensington rune stone park, and the farm of Olaf as well. Last time I was in Alexandria the stone was not there, have to stop and see it.
