Bag of Randomness

BoyGeeding uses a particular shampoo and conditioner. I saw a version from the same brand on sale that combines shampoo and conditioner in one bottle. When I asked BoyGeeding about getting the combo bottle, he told me he read that shampoos and conditioners that come combined in one bottle cause baldness, so he was out. Well, I guess I now know how I became bald.

I think those car magnets that ask you to be patient because the driver is new and just learning are a good thing. But I detest any parent who doesn’t remove those magnets when their child isn’t driving. I’ll extend grace and patience to a 15-year-old behind the wheel, but I’m not going to do it to an adult under false pretenses. It ain’t that hard to remove that magnet before you get behind the wheel. I did it every time. If you’re a bad driver, own it, but don’t hide behind a magnet. And, don’t tell me you forgot, it just shows you are lazy and inconsiderate. And, if you have a sign stating that a baby is on board, well, there better be a damn baby on board.

It’s interesting to see our World Cup visitors take in our culture. But I also hope they get to experience a real Texas thunderstorm and a few days of 100-degree temperatures. It’s been a rather mild June in terms of heat, and while we’ve had a good amount of rain, I don’t think any major thunderstorms have hit the area.

Here’s (YouTube) an hour-long audio-only recording of Robin Williams interviewing George Lucas.

I saw a photo of George Lucas recently and thought he looked elderly and a bit feeble, though I have a feeling it’s just a lot of weight loss from a GLP-1-type medication. But then again, he is 82.

Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick is doubling down on his controversial comments that James Talarico, a seminarian running as a Democrat for U.S. Senate, is going to hell.

Fewer people are naming their baby Donald than at any point in US history, report says –The popularity of the name Donald has been falling for nearly a century, but has hit a new low during Trump’s second term

Social Security Administration data shows 2025 was the lowest point in recorded history for the name, with Donald only ranking 690th among the most popular names in the U.S, NOTUS reported Tuesday.

The 690th most popular American girl’s name in 2025 was Khaleesi, the Dothraki word for ‘queen’ in HBO’s Game of Thrones. President Trump was born in 1946, 12 years after his name peaked in popularity and it remained in the top 100 baby names through the 1990s.

When I first heard about this Universal resort theme park in Frisco, specifically designed and developed for families with young children, I thought it was an interesting concept aimed at an untapped market. However, I questioned the location. Not that it was in Frisco, but that it was in Texas, where the summer heat is scorching. One of my initial thoughts was that it would be built with ample shade and cooling stations. I mean, that would be obvious, but it looks like I’m wrong, and it’s already a major complaint, and they don’t even officially open until July 1.

Posting this only because I know it will drive Aggie fans irate.
