... it's easy to have heard of both because Pokemon is and always has been, all over the place, but you may not know the finer points.

Tell that to the middle-aged man who came out of his house yesterday when I was walking back and forth by his house trying to catch a Jigglypuff. I think I made it worse when I explained what I was doing. He looked at me like I escaped an asylum. :(

Some people I just don't understand. I imagine these people, completely ignorant of technoentertainment advances of the last 20+ years, spend their free time sitting quietly in a room, listening to a grandfather clock tick away the twilight seconds of their ever shortening lives, perhaps accompanied by the tinny squeaks of a monoaural transistor radio set to an AM station, as they wring every possible drop of information from an absurdly-named newspaper whose issues have become progressively thinner with every passing year. Once that task is complete, there is nothing left to do but go out on the porch and yell at the kids and their handheld gizmos until the sun goes down, which heralds an immediate bedtime.

Today we installed Pokemon Go on my old iPhone 5, I turned on my mobile hotspot, and my daughter and I went out as two trainers, instead of her just watching my phone.

Now she wants us to get outfits to wear while playing.

My daughter and I took over a gym for a short period this afternoon, she won it and I threw a defender in to help her keep it for a little while. We didn't expect it to last long, it's at a Wal-Mart.

Yeah, I just grabbed one at a church in the middle of nowhere. Let's see if I can hold it for a day

I find you either love Pokemon Go, or you have a huge stick up your ass and need a slap to the face because you're a dope.

Yesterday one of my in-laws posted on Facebook something along the lines of "If you're over 12 and playing Pokemon Go, turn in your man card." I replied that as a man, I never really felt the need to justify how I spend my free time to other people, but then I'm comfortable enough with myself to know that others opinions of me are mostly irrelevant. Oddly, I got no response.

I just yelled at my daughter to run like she's trying to catch a Pokemon while she was practicing her vaults today. :x

While it's not a Poke-gym or a Pokestop, my actual gym is crawling with Pokemon. I snapped a few pics during my morning workout:

Meanwhile, I've been letting my almost-4-year-old name any Pokemon we catch together, which is why I have

Some of my fellow employees are dropping lures at a State Historical Marker. Nothing wrong with that, but, the marker is under a guard tower at a prison unit. And they are timing their lures with the daily release of dozens of inmates. So the corner gets quite crowded at 11:30, with nerds, offender families and offenders all crowding onto that street corner.

It is interesting to see the ways the system is exploited.
