Ron’s first shower thoughts of 2018
Jan 4, 2018, 3:18 PM | Updated: 4:27 pm
Despite what you’ll hear a million times this month, it takes at least 66 days to form a new habit. That other number is an urban myth.
Heat
Why is my baseboard heater making so much noise at night? Keep me warm and let me sleep!
Baseball
Hey Mariners, how does it feel to replace the Buffalo Bills as the poster child for post season futility in all of professional sports? Just so we’re clear, making the playoffs means you are in the top third of the league. So we’re just asking you to stop getting D’s for the past 17 years.
Trump
My resolution to not give President Trump more of my energy than he deserves lasted all of the three days. What is this guy’s deal? For real.
Health
For the love of god, stop coughing into your hand. That’s not helping anyone. Cough into the crook of your elbow you animal.
What’s the maximum pieces of bacon you can have at one sitting before it’s unreasonable? Is four and a half a lot?
Trump again
OK, back to Trump for one more second. My head is telling me not to read this new “Fire and Fury” book, but it looks like a real page turner. I don’t think I’ll be able to resist.
Driving
If I can just reach one rideshare driver out there, then this is worth it: The bike lane is not really a long parking space! Find a curb, be decisive, and pull the freak over. It’s totally amateur hour out there.
And I know I should have compassion on the grandma driving her Champagne-colored 1987 Honda Civic in the left lane, but come on! You have to notice the cars just flying by you. If you can’t confidently and comfortably drive on the freeway, maybe it’s time to just stop driving.
The weather
And finally, whoever came up with the phrase “Bomb Cyclone” to describe a winter storm should get a raise. That’s exactly how it feels to be really, really cold.
Just one more minute with the water cranked all the way up. And if you don’t have a shower speaker yet, you should really get one.
You can hear “What are we talking about here?” everyday at 4:45 p.m. on 97.3 FM.
