Most years I do a “Best of XXXX” photo blog post. This year I apparently wrote the post but then forgot to publish. So here it is, 8 months late. Heavy on homecoming and senior portraits this year, but with an appearance from an American Idol finalist. larrywright.me/photo/best-of…

At what point in time do we just declare that the state of Florida is incompatible with human life? Between hurricanes, alligators, snakes, and Florida Man, it seems like the state is trying to tell us all something.

All twelve of the firefighters who were on duty in my husband’s firehouse died on 9/11. The “riding list,” handwritten in chalk, listing all the men working that day, still hangs on the firehouse wall, forever preserved in glass. Engine 40 Ladder 35 #NeverForget911

In retrospect, the best Fleetwood Mac songs were the ones they wrote about each other.
27 years ago today, Stevie Nicks burned a hole into Lindsey Buckingham’s soul when she stared down her ex performing Silver Springs, a song she wrote about how he will never escape the sound of her voice

ten years as an antiquarian, hearing nothing but "my relative kept these untouched in a box their whole life but they died, and I don't want this stuff" has radicalized me. annotate the books. use the china. wear the clothes until they wear out. your life should not be a museum

I've been waiting 29 years to tell this story about OJ and his days at USC. Now that he's dead (may he burn in hell) I have a story that I signed an NDA for that is no longer valid. I was a junior at USC working in Topping Student Center on campus in 1995. I was an administrative assistant to the President of Student Affairs that semester in the work/study program. In early 1995, Robert Shapiro and Robert Kardashian (USC Alumni) walked up to my desk and said they had an appt with my boss. I was studying to be a criminal defense lawyer with a dual major in PoliSci and International Relations so I knew who they were. The meeting lasted about 30 mins. After they left I looked at my boss like wtf was that all about!? He walked me outside and we sat by the old sprawling big tree outside Topping and my boss lit a cigarette for the first time in years and told me I had to sign an NDA because I could confirm OJ's lawyers were there for a meeting. Then he told me what the meeting was about. Before OJ could graduate from USC, the university paid off two families of two blonde white girls that he had dated and battered. They had both gone to the LAPD to report it. One claimed he also sexually assaulted her in their relationship. The school had a vested interest in OJ going far in football and protected him at all costs. OJ had been in custody for 6 months and lawyers were in the discovery process for the trial and OJ's friend Robert Kardashian, who knew OJ from also being a student at USC, thought it would be best if those stories never saw the light of day. So a large check was written, given to my boss, and they left. I'll never forget holding that check. Now, did you hear about this before now? Nope. That's how much power money enables. After he was acquitted I changed my major to Philosophy/Psychology double major. I understood that I could harm society more than not if I pursued law. This is also why I abhor the Kardashians. They're rich thugs. Nothing more. #OJISDEAD

I’ve only been using it for a few days, but the configurations feature in Fusion 360 is amazingly useful. Gamechanger is an overused term but it definitely applies here. help.autodesk.com/view/fusio…

Found an iPhone on the side of the road... Still in airplane mode with half a battery and open to a baggage claim for #AlaskaAirlines ASA1282 Survived a 16,000 foot drop perfectly in tact! When I called it in, Zoe at @NTSB said it was the SECOND phone to be found. No door yet😅

For the first time in 47 years, the Adams County SPCA in Pennsylvania is completely empty. All of their dogs got adopted. 14/10 for everyone ❤️

This is impressive - can't wait to see this mature a bit (although it looks useful already).

#OTD in 1970, the Oregon Highway Division consulted with the U.S. Navy and decided the best way to dispose of a whale carcass was to blow it up with a 1/2 ton of dynamite. The explosion caused blubber to rain down on spectators for over a 1/4 of a mile. The TV segment is classic.
