My husband told me he's been having recurring dreams about being a lighthouse keeper and it's gotten so vivid he's considering a career change. He's an accountant. Has never expressed interest in maritime anything. Woke up last week to him googling "how to become lighthouse keeper 2024" at 3am. Asked him about it and he got really serious and said the dreams feel "like a calling" which is concerning because we live in Nebraska. Looked into it thinking he'd lose interest when he saw the reality but there's apparently a whole certification process and he's ALREADY SIGNED UP. Told his boss he's pursuing "other opportunities" without discussing it with me first. His parents think this is a midlife crisis but he's 32. Called my sister freaking out and she said "honestly? Let him try, he'll quit in a week when he realizes it's cold and boring" but what if he doesn't?? We'd have to MOVE to a coast. He showed me brochures. BROCHURES. Asked what triggered this and he said "the lighthouse needs me" like he's been chosen. We don't even own a boat. This man does taxes and now he wants to shine lights at ships. Marriage is wild.
My daughter, who turned 3 days old today, just said "Daddy, why do people think the NFL would rig the game for the chiefs when the Bills would bring in higher ratings?"
Wow. Profound.
Tomorrow the Macyโs Thanksgiving Day Parade will claim to have 3.5 MILLION spectators in attendance. This exaggeration is so egregious and absurd I needed to put together a thread about it. There are times throughout the year I canโt sleep because of this estimated attendance.๐งต
@MickBoylan7 Very bad choice to not let the college bands play. We all want to see those folks blowing some tunes from the 80's! Will not be purchasing a suite anymore. Maybe one day you will learn.
How to they get away with this attendance number? How is this not questioned when they put out their press release? They are easily taking a high but plausible estimate of 150-200,000 people and adding twice the population of Manhattan to it!

The Big House in Michigan, the largest stadium in the western hemisphere, has less than 100 rows. So imagine this, for 2.5 miles straight.. and then DOUBLE it.
