Well, Charles, if you are looking for headlines one never, ever expected to see, today's NBC news carried the following:

QUADRUPLE AMPUTEE AND CORNHOLE PRO ACCUSED OF FATALLY SHOOTING A MAN WHILE DRIVING

Never, in a million years... (maybe the passenger thought he'd be fine because the driver was 'armless?)

Lol, I saw that on group chat. I think it’s gone very viral. I also have no suggestions for improving it. :-)

...meanwhile at The Onion, staff writers were seen shaking their fists in anger and shouting "Damn you, NBC!"

I became a subscriber due to a mutual friend, Susan Nieman. She and I have met several times for lunch, and we’re doing it again on Thursday. Both you and I subscribe to her Substack “Susan Speaks”, and she has done me an honor by mentioning me in her pieces a couple of times, although, not by name. I enjoy your writing, and I’m glad I’m here.

I’m glad, too! Enjoy your lunch with Susan. She’s great. :-)
