I don't know a lot about Bruce Springsteen but this is what patriotism sounds like. A lot of people have been so quiet! This is why he gets a title like "The Boss".
It doesn't hurt that sonically; it's a very solid song. I love the organ and choir.

I'm happy for all the people the devices DID work out for and their efforts in the early days of smart home ecosystems.

It must be interesting to create/develop characters that launch careers and become icons within the entertainment world like Dwight Schrute and Michael Scott, hear people praise them as comedy gold for those that understand the world of working in an office, and then see your characters be in a video game where the objective is essentially killing other players with guns.
Fortnite has basically become a promotional step like late night variety shows and Hot Ones. For better or worst, its a way to reach a lot of people and renew interest in your brand.

I brought a Labubu to my office white elephant gift exchange and it was absolutely the quickest item to get locked in.
When you think about it, this item hits the mark for being a white elephant gift because it is desirable and also something people don't want to spend their own money.
It's a toy so there's very little utility from owning one. I'm curious how often the owner will think about their Labubu in a year from now. I suspect they will either have a large collection or have gotten rid of it.
I recently went to my local mall and was fascinated at how popular Asian collectible merchandise is. There were about 4-5 stores that all sold the same kinds of toys and blind boxes.
I'm thrilled for the folks in Arizona to experience Vallarta. I'm not sure what the competition looks like there but Vallarta is such a lovely market to be immersed into Latino cuisine.

I learned that Kura Sushi was adding a location closer to me and was hoping to give it a shot to better understand the significance of a business expanding and the appeal of revolving sushi.
Unfortunately, a casual walk-in experience was not meant to be at the Sherman Oaks location. As I was circling the busy mall parking during a holiday season, I called the location to check if my patience of finding a spot was worth it. I was told I'd have to wait at least an hour. I changed my mind that day and opted for a quicker, more convenient lunch.
I discovered that Kura Sushi had recently opened up in Bakersfield and wagered that it would be easier to get a seat at that location. I was right!
The ordered items show up on a separate conveyor in a haste. The zip along quickly and stop abruptly at your seat. It feels like the future that was promised in the Jetsons.
If you need to use the bathroom, the restaurant even offers another nice thing that's very normal in Japan: bidets!
I recently spent $2500 on repairs to my van. While this seems like a lot of money, it turns out a brand new Honda Odyssey is about $45000!
Our van has over 200,000 miles and I am optimistic that it has plenty of life ahead to serve my family in making memorable trips.
While looking for something in a storage shed yesterday, I snagged my jacked on some wire fencing. I created a few unsightly holes.
Like my car, I figured a relatively small inconvenience was worth the price to avoid saying goodbye. Is it seamless? Absolutely not. Was it even necessary? No.
Needless to say, no one has ever suggested I audition for Project Runway.
