If your Halloween decorations bring down the neighborʼs property value, youʼre doing it right.
A doctor once told me that coconuts are terrible for your cholesterol. So as a public service to the neighborhood kids, I am personally disposing of all of the Almond Joys in the trick-or-treat bowl.
Iʼve heard a lot of kids have peanut allergies these days. Perhaps I can do some good there, as well.
Today I learned that the IT guy who wouldnʼt allow Macs or iPhones on the corporate network at a former employer because “Macs are stupid” is now free to peddle his “Windows rulz!” bullshit full time in the unemployment line because he refused to take Macintosh/Unix networking classes.
Does it count as being “late” for work if the door to the building is blocked by cops frisking a lady?
Trading posts are still the one of the primary means of commerce and communication on the Navajo Nation. The tribal government operates some of them, but most are owned by white people, like the one Darcie is standing in front of. It's been operating since 1878.
The trading posts still exist because the companies you and I shop with aren't interested in opening stores on the reservations. Indians still actually trade jewelry, rugs, pottery, and other things for food, clothing, and even iPads at the trading posts.
They can also use money, like Darcie did.

Our Navajo guide to the Hopi dinosaur beach. He was so excited to have Ann Jillian visiting his personal dinosaur field, I didnʼt have the heart to tell him that Darcie wasnʼt on Itʼs A Living. Or that Ann Jillian is 70 years old now.
Good thing this TV has a remote. Because of you walk too close, the plug falls out of the wall.
This isnʼt the worst hotel TV we came across during this trip, but at least now Darcie appreciates the way that I dress the cables at home.
This is the view from John Wayne Point. A sign reads
John Wayne Point
It has been said that this was John Wayneʼs favorite place to view the beauty and serenity of Monument Valley.
His first movie filmed in Monument Valley was John Fordʼs classic “Stagecoach” in 1939.
He starred in four more movies in Monument Valley culminating with his fan favorite “The Searchers” in 1956.
Yes, thereʼs a gift shop. Yes, it has an entire John Wayne section.
When I ordered a Lyft to go pick up my car at the repair shop, the app gave me the option of taking a self-driving car. Itʼs the future!
I was so preoccupied thinking about my impending repair bill that I forgot to take a screenshot.
