Pro tip: I started cross-checking local news with police scanners during a big event last month

There was a protest downtown that got really big, and the news said it was a small crowd. I had my scanner app on and heard way more calls for backup than they reported. So I looked at live streams from people who were actually there, and the crowd was huge. The official story just didn't match up with what I was hearing and seeing. Has anyone else caught a gap like that between the official line and the raw feed?

Overheard a guy at the lumber yard say he'd never put a tile floor in an Albuquerque house, and I think he's dead wrong

Honestly, tell that guy and @reese_lane29 my tile floor is fine, maybe he just doesn't know how to do it right.

Hot take: I was wrong about using PVA glue for everything

My buddy in Arizona swears by wheat paste because his PVA always fails in that dry heat.

My brother pointed out that we always plan for distance, not for fun

Totally get what you mean, @wades76. I was the same way with my own trip plans. Your story about the lake is what finally made me see I was missing the point. Now I leave a blank page in my notebook just for the stuff that isn't on the list.
