Massachusetts no longer has a single Hooters.
The chain has officially closed its last three locations in Dedham, Saugus, and West Springfield, ending its decades-long run in the state.
An old gal- in a brand new, fully souped up EV with a dash panel bigger than my tv (oh I donโt know how to use this friggin thing!) stopping and asking for directions is not an interaction I thought possible in the year 2026.
Itโs the obviously different for everyone, but for me, my 30s were my favorite decade by a landslide.
Hopefully, youโve got a little more money to your name by 30 & with that, you could and SHOULD do more. Youโve still got energy.
See things. Go places.
Do everyone.
From 30-35 you can still make relatively big mistakes or make a career change & it could be the best thing youโve ever done.
Because once say, 45 hits?
The energy starts to dramatically diminish. Crankiness & an overall malaise will be unavoidable.
The math unfortunately starts to win. Parents will become feeble & broken. The random friend or two will die.
You worry with each and every doctorโs visit โWill this be the one where I win the reverse lotteryโ
Itโs not great.
Frankly, it mostly sucks.
So enjoy your 30s, friend.
Each and every day of them.
Because anyone whoโd ever tell you it gets better in your 40s and beyond is either a liar or filthy rich so they donโt have to worry about shit.

ANYWAY!
Have a wonderful 4th everyone.
Itโs our finest of the holidays.
Come back with all 10 fingers on Monday, & throw a drink into the face of anyone who whines about any commie nonsense on Saturday.

Sure the return is awful, makes no sense, Paul George is like 53 years old & youโre super pissed about it.
But the real questions are:
Just how bad did Jayson Tatum sneaky despise this guy for the last 9 seasons?
And/Or
Just how big of a gigantic pain in the ass behind the scenes was Jaylen Brown?
