Several months ago, I blogged about the art company Retrospekt’s tribute to the Peanuts cartoon’s “Beagle Scouts” plotline (Snoopy as the leader of a troop of young woodsy birds). Retrospekt manufactured several “Beagle Scouts”-themed cameras and cassette recorders, designed to make you smile and willingly take your money. Now at the time, I thought it…

In fact, I quit the Scouts after a bullying incident at a Jamboree where, after several of my fellow Scouts received achievement awards, merit badges and the coveted rise in rankings, I received a hand-carved wooden stick. The…

I don’t know if you’re aware of this. But apparently this is 4/20 day. And you know what that means, don’t you? Of course you do. This is the first in about nine straight days when the date is actually a palindrome. See? 4/20/2024 spelled backwards is 4202/02/4. Mind blown. And it’ll work all the…
