Am I the only one who hates home fireworks?

The 4th is here, and that means hours of the dogs barking their heads off every few minutes. I’m tempted to rig up an extremely loud PA system and blare their barking all over the neighborhood, maybe ruin the “fun time” these bozos are having…

I know, I can make some nice waffles! Wife: It’s the 4th of July. Let’s grill out! We don’t have to invite anyone. Just a few hamburgers. Me: Can I put them in the air fryer? Wife: You have good charcoal and the grill is clean. We hardly ever use it. Me: There’s a reason for that, you kn…

• Middle
• Aisle

[DCnDC]

• Not my first choice, but I don’t mind the middle seat.
• I’ll take the middle seat so I can sit with my companion(s), but we’re switching on the way back!
• I’ll only take the middle seat if I have no other choice.
• I will not take a middle seat under any circumstances. If there’s only a middle seat available, I’ll take a different flight.
