I don't mind laugh tracks if it is a truly funny show. For example, Frazier. One of the funniest shows, ever. I don't even notice there is a laugh track b/c I am usually laughing my tail off myself.

Maybe not much is actually expected of us?
A company we used to do business with has blocked us from looking at their website. Seems petty, no?
I've been walking on the same nice dirt road for 31 years now, and if I walked with traffic I'd have been killed decades ago...I look at the people coming at me, quite a few go way too fast, quite a few are texting and don't see me at all, so I just veer into the puckerbrush. Yes, I get it that pedestrians have the right of way, but if they think that all drivers are paying attention, they're horribly wrong.
Ha, I am the most severe laugh track phobe that I know...never watched Friends or Seinfeld or other popular stuff, because I can't stand being told when to laugh (which for me is about 15% of the time the dopes on the laugh tracks chortle.) It's insulting...I recall reading decades ago about Aaron Sorkin when he launched, what was it, Sports Night or something? The network was adamant there be a laugh track, he said if there is I'm out of here, and he got his way...it was a good show, probably underappreciated because....it didn't have a laugh track.
right you are, though he doesn't drive on that road, nor at that hour...but I do know the texters, I'm not above hollering at the woman in the white jeep who is texting just about every time I see her, and she's barely left her home...
My walking time is (summer hours) generally between 8 and 10 a.m., relatively few drinkers then, I'm hoping.
It's Bob Dylan's 80th birthday today. I've always liked the MTV Unplugged set (1995!) :

His live shows were a mess in the 80's; but somehow he fixed it and the ones at the end of the last century were much better.
Saw him with the Dead and Sting / Tom Petty at RFK in DC, and a couple smaller venues in Philly. I thought his band was tight.
Party foul on me - Zimmie gets his own thread today!!
Pickup basketball for the first time in almost a year and a half. They require picture evidence of a vaccine. This is the old man run which is 40 and up. I'm alarmingly athletic for this crowd. Wednesday night is the young man's run and I am alarmingly unathletic for that one.
Knocked on my neighbor’s door to tell him his goat was loose. Apparently the goat roams free now and stays in his own yard. We shall see.
