I'm all for it. They probably spent a lot of time putting them up, so why not. Adds some personality too

I saw a house that had Halloween decorations still up alongside their Christmas decorations.

Ha...that's a little much.

Sunday after Feast of the Epiphany (end of Christmas season/start of Mardi Gras season, roughly 2nd week of January.)

Although I am no longer a practicing Catholic, I have a weird respect for the liturgical calendar. Feels like a festive hangover before the actual year starts.

Went to one the other day. It was about as expected. Huntsville is full of nerds.

Going to a pub run tonight and the venue has trivia later. Debating doing the latter.

I have an iPhone 13 that I got almost 5 years ago. Was thinking it was time for a new one, but it works fine for what I use it for. Maybe I should do it for the economy?

Mine's a Samsung Galaxy and still works fine. Cracked the screen about six months after I got it, but it didn't affect anything.

A year or two. I don’t remember exactly when I got it. It’s an iPhone 15 but it had been a while since the 15 was released but the 17 wasn’t out yet.

16s. First time with a new iPhone since my first

I got rid of my 15 last year cuz the battery was shot. Can’t imagine how a 13’s doing in that dept.
