    Coffee and new words (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    This morning's text from Meat came in at 9:15. "Tater's making Bloody Marys, don't be a bimpert." I'd probably pass, but I knew they'd have coffee, and I needed to know what Meat called me. So I got my shoes on and wandered next door. Tater had a cup ready when I walked in. "Morning, SJ. What do you think of the new words the Oxford Dictionary announced?" The lightbulb came on. "Have you been teaching Meat new words again? You know he's not allowed to know things ahead of me. I haven't seen the

    The Third Street Gang (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    I could tell you some stories you'd never believe. Thank goodness we didn't have Faceplant and Instadope back then. A few weeks ago, an impressive group of my childhood friends showed up at my mother and brother's memorial in Elkhorn City, including four of the first five kids I met when we moved to town. The elusive Third Street Gang was caught for the socials some 59 years later. I say elusive because we were a pack of young'uns who were usually focused on some sort of mischief with the ultima

    Thanks for good news (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Sometimes it's good to take stock. How are those SpaceX shares doing? The IPO price was $150 a share, which rose to $225 in a couple of days. One of their rockets just touched down on the moon at 5,400 miles per hour. No one actually saw it arrive, but it did leave a debris and dust cloud a few miles high. A quick check at press time and SpaceX shares are going for a little over $110. Elon say it ain't so! Must be a blip. I'm sure Tesla is just killing it. Let's see. On the day of the SpaceX IPO
