Bob Saget didn't direct Half-Baked. He just made a cameo in it.

On Monday and Wednesday last week I stayed inside all day to avoid the 100 F heat as much as possible. In summer I’m almost always in shorts, unless I have to go to work.

I am of the complete opposite view when it comes to insects/wild animals. At the risk of revealing my tree-hugger tendencies, I love seeing all the life that spring and summer bring, even the giant hornets and huge spiders. Looking at all the pollinators jumping from flower to flower, all the "creepy-crawlies" going about their business, seeing the yearly cycle of wild life is so refreshing to me, especially after being inside for several hours at a time. A more positive way to put it would be kind of like: "look at all the life that is still possible, even within our concrete jungles."

I just finished Severance season 2 this week so the timing of this random spoilercast was perfect. S2 was fine but not great.
