Book 41 of 2025: THE CORNBREAD MAFIA by @jimhigdon.bsky.social. Figured I’d learn a little Kentucky history while driving from Louisville to Chicago and back. For a trip to Amsterdam, no less.

Have you ever flown while you were congested and then when the plane starts descending, it feels like your head might explode and then your head does explode and you’re walking around the airport with no head? That’s me at DFW right now.
Our Texan customers are not criminals, and neither are we — unless Texas makes us criminals.
One day, an airline will figure out to board their flights from back to front, but until then, the opposite of that.
I said “Doctor! Is there nothing I can take?” I said “Doctor! To relieve this belly ache?”
