Photo of the Day - Resist
In my travels, immersed in suburbia, I often see pro-Trump stickers and decals on autos, especially trucks. I'm less likely to see a political message like this one. Caught my eye while walking through the parking lot of a grocery store I frequent.

Cold Take: That Was A Boring, Uninspiring Halftime Show
Like guacamole using an unripe avocado. It didn't taste right.
What McDonald's has done to a hamburger. You get used to it. It passes for a hamburger.
The not hungry superstar with no chip on their shoulder. Showing up becomes enough.
It was Justin Timberlake's Pepsi version of what a Super Bowl show is supposed to be.
It was Pepsi. Sometimes you are thirsty and you drink what's on the menu.
JT was like a driver barely interested in his Monday morning commute.
It was like Dunkin' Donuts take on donuts.
It was a college professor not updating notes and just teaching what they've always taught and going through the motions.
Like being a rat in a cage without rage.
Like being in Weber's Iron Cage and saying hey this isn't so bad as long as I get paid.
His manner of dress was Bill Belichick-ian. Each man wore what they would be expected to wear. But the occasion calls for more.
This was soup out of a can.
A waffle from a box.
It was the meteorologist not believing their own forecast.
The car salesperson barely trying to sell a car.
This was Amazon Prime not delivering on time.
When kids go trick or treating on Halloween, they want the good candy.
This was not the good candy.
The end.

Presentation of Lunch in Everyday Life (Perfect Sandwich Edition)
Here we have a modified caprese sandwich. I skipped the basil and balsamic this time. We're featuring a ciabatta roll from Wegmans to host the sliced tomato and mozzarella. Salt and pepper on the tomato with a little olive oil and you're ready to go. I could eat this every day of my life.

Hell No
Just had my Dove chocolate for an energy boost. What is this propaganda about dressing up when you have no place to go? If you have no place to go, your right options are sweatpants, yoga pants, no pants. That's it.

Presentation of Breakfast and Lunch in Everyday Life
Started the day on a good note. Scrambled eggs with spinach and feta. Feta makes everything betta.
Lunch was naan with cheddar cheese. Out of the oven I added avocado. Good stuff.
I was still hungry after lunch so I ate some pistachios. Now it's tea time. This is a day of working and eating at home, also known as a good day. Class prep, eat, class prep, eat, class prep and tea. And laundry.
