I forgot about our Chicago friends, they have had some recent success along with those long suffering Red Sox fans. The Brew Crew could be in the verge of big things but if you use history as a measuring stick they will come up short.

Just had to make a u turn in the parking lot of a strip club. Moved quick so Life360 wouldn’t alert I had completed a trip. In my drive I pondered a couple things. One being you know how punctuation can make all the difference.

For instance:
Let’s eat,grandma. “ vs “Let’s eat grandma”

So can location…
“Who’s candy?” On Halloween or at a movie is one thing.

But at a business like that…

My joints can detect an approaching cold front at a distance of approximately 500 miles. Old people must have seemed like wizards before modern science caught up with ancient bursitis in the field of meteorology.

Terrific / Terrifying. Would seem to share the same root origin, but one is to the far side of positive, the other at the opposite end of the spectrum.

Interesting. I wonder if Tony the Tiger knew that original meaning? It's funny how words can change to mean the opposite of what they meant. I've pointed out that disparity regarding the word "Liberal" over the years. It has taken on connotations that are now actually anything but liberal.
