Have to go out after work to get the kids bathing suits. Going up to Niagara next week for a couple of days, and the kids will want to take advantage of the hotel pool. Last time they got bathing suits was two years ago, so they've outgrown them.
Also, the wife is taking the oldest today to get the metal work removed. Assuming they don't come up with some dumbass reason not to remove them, which I'm absolutely expecting.

No Powerball winner last night, Saturday's drawing estimated at $935 million ($450 million take home).

Those are exciting things for the girls. Maybe you should pick up a Speedo for yourself.

Aren't there thousands of groundhogs born each year? I just assumed they used a different Phil each time.

I think it's the same one every year. At least, until he dies and they get another one. But I think he's always on display there when he's not being used for forecasting abilities.

My strategy is to find ANY words. Even if I don't use the hints, I want to know that they're there. And when I get frustrated enough, I will use those damn hints and not apologize for it.

Same, I just find whatever I can until I hit upon an actual piece of the puzzle. That usually helps clear out where they're going with the theme.

But it's Thursday, which means most of my day has been accompanied by golf on ESPN+, so I've only looked at the puzzle a couple of times.

Oh, and much to my surprise, the oldest actually did get her braces off today. So she's loving life right now.

I got extremely lucky with the last two. In fact, I was at my wit's end and put together a category for Purple which was non-existent.

That's so odd because I'm stuck on those last 2 colors as well, and I also considered a syllable-based attempt, because I couldn't see any other options.

Let me guess. Upper left first?

How come the car manufacturer can't offer lifetime warranty on breaks (including pads) but Pep Boys can?? 33,000 miles and it cost me $825 for rear rotors, pads, and an oil change.
Did I mention I hate my wife's Mini Cooper?

It's not that they can't, it's that they won't. Look for a video by Elon Musk about why it's so hard to start a new auto manufacturing company. Manufacturers make most of their money selling parts to service their existing fleet. The cars themselves have very little margin. Pep Boys makes their money servicing most existing fleets, so they can be more flexible.
And don't get me started on Minis. I wanted one, until my son got one. He does all his own work on his, because he's amazingly smart and clever. But even he says, "Just say no to Minis, unless you're leasing and trading it in every other year."

I had one previously that was leased and I loved it. But my wife wanted to BUY this Countryman and I hate it. My Pacifica minivan has better pickup. She insisted on an automatic transmission and the pickup sucks. I'm always worried when I have to merge.
