Red Mosquito

the date was november 1, 2016. i remember because the stupid parish where my kid had to take ccd classes because he was a public-school boy that turned his back on a catholic education and was surely going straight to hell demanded that he go to church for all saints day. and so we had to manage getting home from work, picking both kids up, and dropping my son off at church. he was pissed. my wife made me go to chipotle to pick something quick up for dinner. i was standing in line, and behind the cashier was a window where you can see a worker taking lettuce that had been soaking in something and putting it in a bowl. she was not wearing gloves - i repeat, she was using her bare f'n hands. so i said something to the casher, who promptly told me that if i had a problem, i could call the manager. she handed me a card with a name and number on it. i called - no answer, and no voicemail. i called like two days later. no answer, and no voicemail.

two weeks later news broke that there was a listeria outbreak in the area traced to that f'n chipotle.

i haven't had chipotle anywhere since.

I like this guy’s style.

a couple of years ago my wife and I played in a charity golf thing at pelican hill in California...one of the freebies was a business casual vest with some tech bro company's logo made by callaway...I still hangs in the closet but I've never worn it

I see no situation where I ever wear a business casual vest.

i really don't understand vests at all. as a concept. they make no sense.

This. Except life vests make sense.

life vests excepted.

If it’s cool enough for another layer, I’m going full jacket.

Or are vests more for indoors when it’s cold, and you want to look more powerful than a frumpy sweater has to offer.

And are recent improvements in lightweight puffer coats going to put vests out to pasture.

Supposed to be in the 90s on Tuesday. If I run into Chris H 2 at the PJ show, I fully expect him to be BC vested.

Oh shiiiii-

And just like that, the vest wars of '23 have commenced.
