11:40ish a.m. Friday: Van-motorcycle collision at our corner. Motorcyclist injured, but fortunate to survive.

9ish p.m. Friday: Stop sign sideswiped at our corner. Hit-and-run driver leaves.

I believe things happen in threes. I'd burn sage out there, but we have a burn ban because of the drought.

Spirit Airlines could shut down: What travelers should know - The Points Guy Concerns across the airline industry have grown about the fate of Spirit Airlines. Here's what consumers and customers with flights booked need to know.

Sid Krofft, Co-Creator of Mind-Blowing Kids TV Shows, Dies at 96 The puppeteer and his late brother Marty partnered on 'The Banana Splits Adventure Hour,' 'H.R. Pufnstuf,' 'Land of the Lost' and much more.

Sid and Marty Krofft both belong to the ages now. Whatever entertainment they're working on in the afterlife, I hope they're smoking whatever they were smoking when they came up with their shows in this life. www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/s...

Copy #editing. I won't say who I work for. I also recently edited a small book.

Just finished (for now) an #editing project that considers typos to be "simple" and "insignificant" errors. I needed that paper bag. #Journalism #Grammar

Ironic that Afrika Bambaataa leaves on the brink of world destruction. youtu.be/f195_F4dDVI?... I would say "Rest in power," but his SA victims don't deserve him to.

If we're all gonna die in three hours, John Carpenter could have the decency to finally tell us which one is The Thing before we go. #WorldWarIII #Horror

Christopher North, San Francisco ‘keyboard wizard’ of Ambrosia, dies at 75 Christopher North, a San Francisco native and founding keyboardist of the 1970s rock band Ambrosia, has died at 75.

Christopher North had a couple of Final Destination-like near-misses with the Grim Reaper before his luck ran out. Ambrosia may be soft rock, but his life was colorful.

RIP and Godspeed. That's how much I feel. www.sfchronicle.com/entertainmen...

If Trump ever shopped for groceries in his life, he would have known Pam is non-stick.

There won't be any tell-alls from Kristi Noem or Pam Bondi. They want to keep whatever good graces remain with MAGAt Nation, their non-disclosure agreements are in effect until TFG dies & even after all that, they won't want to "accidentally fall" out of any hotel windows. youtu.be/mMvjhc8SiNg?...

OK, #hummingbirds. This is not an April Fools Day joke. Bars are open for the next six or seven months! See management for semiweekly specials (spoiler alert: It's always homemade nectar). #NCwx

I don't know who writes the Paramount+ Live TV guide, but Charleston, South Carolina, and Charlotte, North Carolina, aren't "in-state rivals" in anything. #Geography @paramountplus.com

At coffee time, everybody also agrees.

In recent years, James Tolkan was sometimes the subject of social media death hoaxes. I disproved one on Threads just a few months ago.

It's not a hoax anymore. RIP and Godspeed, and kudos for being a "slacker" with the Grim Reaper for 94 years.

Darrell 'Dash' Crofts, Soft-Rock Icon and Half of Seals & Crofts, Dead at 85 Darrell "Dash" Crofts, half the duo of Seals and Crofts, is dead at 85.

With Dash Crofts's death, Seals & Crofts belong to the ages now. And that ends my idea of Dash Crofts and John Ford Coley (half of England Dan & John Ford Coley with Jim Seals's brother Dan) working together. Maybe Coley, Toni Tennille & Richard Carpenter should. www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

Remember when I said not to give Thom Tillis TOO much credit for his independent streak on his way to retirement? This is why.

Valerie Perrine, ‘Superman’ and Oscar-Nommed ‘Lenny’ Star, Dies at 82 Valerie Perrine, who was Oscar nominated for best actress for "Lenny" and appeared in the "Superman" films, died Monday in Beverly Hills.

RIP and Godspeed, Valerie Perrine. Almost nobody left from the 1978 "Superman" movie anymore. Also, unfortunately, Hickory Motor Speedway hasn't changed one recognizable bit from when she was there 53 years ago for "The Last American Hero." variety.com/2026/film/ne...
