Thank you, Brett Kavanaugh, for ruining one of my favorite Tom T. Hall songs.
I’m proud* to be an American*
Where at least I know I’m free*
I won’t* forget the men* who died
Who gave that right to me*
And I’d gladly* stand up next to you*
And defend her still today*
‘Cause there ain’t* no doubt I love this land
God* bless the USA.

Here are a few photos from a tiny street called Pustegränd on the island of Södermalm in central Stockholm.
The street is just a couple blocks long and is about 130 meters in length (425 feet). A large portion of that distance is made up of steep stairs that connect the higher elevation of the island to the streets near the water.
This short video from Apple Maps shows where is Pustegränd is located in Stockholm.
Here is a link to the street on Google Maps.
I’m a sucker for ridiculous marketing and all sorts of cross-branding, so imagine my delight when I saw that Pepsodent has come out with a men’s toothpaste. I’m sold.

I was delayed 13 hours on my way back to Stockholm after the holidays. I got the opportunity to sit on the runway in DC for two hours and to hang out inside the Frankfurt airport for ten hours.

The Beavis Christmas ornament is once again displayed on my brother’s tree. Butt-Head unfortunately fell to his death and shattered on the wooden floor.
Okay, mom. That’s enough glögg for this year.
Some of this year’s Blossa Glögg accidentally found its way to Louisville in my checked baggage. Here’s my mom drinking it in the Most Useful Conversions mug.
Knob Creek Smoked Maple bourbon tastes like pancakes. Amazing, delicious, 45% alcohol-saturated pancakes.

If I line up the windows then the lamp isn’t centered and if I line up the lamp then the windows aren’t right. DAMMIT!
I hope you enjoyed your life of being crispy and crunchy because those days are over. Prepare to die!
