If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to tweet it, did it really happen?

Dear Midwest, I’ve been in Tokyo for the past week for the @Olympics & I’ve noticed that my instinctual use of “Ope!” is universally understood by Japanese and other nationalities. Language barriers have been broken. 😉 @midwestern_ope

Remember when Mt Dew came out with the revolutionary “wide mouth can” so you could pour it down your gullet more rapidly? Wide mouth is standard now. Haven’t seen a small mouth can in ages. There’s no point or moral to this story. Just an observation. Thanks for reading.

I hope most people are as grateful as I am to have clean water on top, on demand, at various temperatures… for a relatively low price. Absolutely miraculous.

My hometown. This is devastating. 😔 This community will need a lot help. That said, knowing the character of the folks that live there, they will have each other’s backs and come back stronger.
The level of destruction from the tornado in Appleton, Menasha, and Neenah, Wisconsin is unfathomable. This just doesn’t happen here. I’ve lived here for 45 years, I know. Photos are from NBC 26 in Green Bay

Amen. 😂
I don’t want to "download the app" to pay for parking. I don’t want to "create an account" to see a menu. I don’t want to "provide feedback" on a 30-second interaction. I just want to exist in the physical world without a digital leash.

Something I realized when I became a parent is there's a window of time when your parents are healthy, your kids are little, and everyone gets to experience multiple generations of family spending time together. Cherish this time and don’t take a single moment of it for granted.

This design leaves a lot to be desired. Being blasted by hot airport sink air seems defeat the purpose.

Ever foam roll to get the kinks out of your back, just to hurt your back while getting back up off the floor? I guess this is growing up.

A neurosurgeon teamed up with an ENT surgeon to remove my wife’s brain tumor this week. Flawless intense life saving work. They’re absolute gods for what they do & deserve every bit of the comfortable salary they earn. Strange that they both make less than a rookie in the NBA.

I know this gets debated all the time. NBA careers are shorter than most surgeons. There’s an audience…Etc etc. As a former pro athlete myself I support them making good money. (Sub NBA for any entertainment career) My point: the difference in societal impact is stark.

I wish they were more widely celebrated as superstars… but I understand why they aren’t. There’s no audience in that operating room. Those unbelievable feats go unseen and are often more complex than accurately putting a ball through a hoop.

“The weatherman LIED!” was a common phrase I’d hear growing up when the forecast was wrong. People have really eased up on that. That’s progress.
