Out here in rural Ohio, the price of pulling in to the wrong driveway can be steep, too. Some poor lost dude pulled in to a driveway in Clark County to check his GPS and got shot by the man living in the house there. He hadn’t even exited his car! Seems like that’s been happening a lot. These old guys, who maybe need to be in care or rehab, sitting around with shotguns waiting for the first wave of the apocalypse can be dangerous!

Wait, so you've been saying something like "tree-ah-zhay" all this time?

Hah! I remember when I first learned that "awry" is pronounced "a-rye". I had been saying "aw-ree" for... fifteen years? Maybe less? I learned at a D&D or an L5R session, it was one of those moments like, "Why do you keep looking at me like that?" 😆

I learned the word "triage" from watching re-runs of M*A*S*H as a kid. It was my mom's favorite show.

Best part of The Rooster?

The coda AND THOSE WMDS with all of the links to stories I missed online. It's like having desert after the complete meal.
