I used to call it "Saturday". Now I understand that it's every day.
You know how you'd tell some young know-it-all "I've forgotten more than you know"? Nowadays, it's literally true. |

Hi Mike!
Things getting a little edgy over there? Kremlin threatening to shut off gas and electricity this weekend? What is the buzz there, for those of us getting their news from different affiliated organizations?
Hope you are well.

Finns don't get edgy. People are just following their normal routines. I haven't seen any of the supposed "panic buying" that one US news outlet was yammering about Bomb shelters were marked with orange triangles back in February, before anyone dreamed about being in NATO. Given how close we are to a number of strategic targets in Russia, including Murmansk and St. Petersburg, and bases in western Russia, the shelters were all built during the cold war, as fallout shelters.
The electricity thing is a joke. The small percentage we got from Russia can easily be replaced from Sweden, Norway, and Estonia--there's an underwater cable. And Putin, as usual, exercised bad timing. Finns don't use much electricity in the summer---right now, sunrise is before 5 AM, and sunset is after 10 PM. And even with warmer summers of late, very few homes have a/c.  |

I work with a douche nozzle that is the spitting image of "I've forgotten more than you know". He thinks he's my boss (he isn't), and constantly tells me things to do or how to do something. I have taken to totally ignoring him. |
No boat, back in the suds.
