If you are reading this, then you survived the Mayan Zombie Apocalypse. If so, congratulations should be upon you. You are now the vanguard of the next era of the human race.

If I would have asked this question 10 years ago, I doubt people would know what I was talking about:

Famous Trios for 1000 Alex,

Gene Cernan, Ronald Evans, and Harrison Schmitt.

[Beep].

“Who are the last three astronauts to travel to the moon? Alex.”

40 years ago today was the last time a human set foot on the moon.

40 years is a long time.

It is longer than the Editors-of-Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com.

Readers of this website may know that I like to brag that the Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com-Vicinity (The State of Arizona) does not observe Daylight Saving Time.

From the "Hanging-on-a-Moment" Department

I’ve been trying not to get into politics, but it has been harder and harder as the nation approaches Election Day (or as I call it, Disenfranchisement by The-Evil-Doctor-Merlin-Channing-Lowe-Jr. Day)

So I spent the lion’s share of this weekend doing all the Continuing Education credits for the Pharmacy Technician registration.

Which means, that I’m now starting year two of being a Registered Certified Pharmacy Technician for the Not-so-small-Pharmaceutical-Distribution-Organization.

From the "Waiting-to-be-disenfranchised" Department

I was attending a wedding this weekend of one of my long-time friends, and the conversation at my table drifted slightly into the political. (I blame The-Evil-Doctor-Merlin-Channing-Lowe-Jr., who was seated at said table thus designating this an area for the Dark Cabal that Controls Everything.)

Anyways, one of the other wedding guests said the following:

Why Little Jeremy Hates Party Politics

This not-so-little video got some press yesterday and today:
