Remember my “dog culture out of control” tweet? It got 1.5 million views. Check this out:
American spend on pets reached $186B in 2023, more than was spent on childcare. The industry is growing at 11% a year — nearly 2x pace of overall consumer spend — and is estimated to reach $260B by 2030 (with greater millenial/Gen-Z pet ownership).

Game 132 of the 2023 @TinCaps season with a playoff birth on the line! If we win, we are in! If West Michigan loses, we are in! The job by our manager Johnny Mathews has been AMAZING this year! 4-15 in April & 16 player promotions to AA and we are still in it on the final day! – at Indiana, USA

I still believe Santa can do it.
In case you were wondering, for Santa, in a single 24-hr Earth-night, to deliver presents to all those who celebrate Christmas, he must visit 25,000 homes per second.

The Midwest Taught Me: 1. How to smell a storm 2. Dress in layers 3. Expect four seasons in an hour 4. How to drive in the snow and rain 5. Olympic level Cornhole skill 6. To tie something down to the point “it’s not going anywhere” 7. Less than a 16 hour drive? don’t fly
