Our wings are not tired.

Congrats to those who saw Phew!

Braces off on August 11th, woo!

Awesome! I'm sure you are more than ready.

In blast from the past Buffista birthday notices, Send a good thought to vw bug today. I've made a unilateral decision to include those I haven't seen in a while, because they should still feel the ~ma.

Punishingly Intricate

I also bombed on the Wordle!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I got it in 6 in part because y’all said it wasn’t a word and I was like “well, of the options I have left..”

Same. That was a shitty word, Wordle. Do better.

109 is too many degrees

My poor brother arrived here yesterday from Colorado, land of heat but almost no humidity, and walked out of the airport into swampy river valley humidity and 90+ degrees. Wearing jeans. Living in a more arid climate has made him weak. (Although, seriously, he grew up here. He knows what late July in Cincinnati is like.)

Man, you gave me a vivid sense memory of getting off a plane and getting hit by a wall of humidity. Keep it frosty, bro of Tep

Sometimes I have these thoughts, like, "will Kohl's status as a meme stock help move more of the items they are buying from us to feature on Black Friday?" and I have no one to share them with so y'all get 'em. Sorry. I just can't leave that rattling around in my head with no escape.

Poo, I bombed on the Wordle. Too many options.

Huh. I got the Wordle in 4 but I had to actually use hints for Strands, which I usually find very easy. Brains are weird. Of course, I probably shouldn't be doing either at 1 am but I was on deadline and still up so...

Oh, I seem to have skipped Strands entirely after not getting anything right away.... Oops

The status is NOT quo.

I bombed on the Wordle. Too many options.
Me too! And yes on needing hints on Strands, too, which was annoying.

Yep, needed hints to get through Strands. That rarely happens, but I kept getting part pf the Spangram and not clicking that the word was only part of what I was supposed to get... My only complaint about Connections is that I feel like they must have done state abbreviations before but I am not sure that's true and not sure that it matters if it is. Anyway, tough NYT gaming day!
