A while back I stumbled upon a YouTube channel called Desert Drifter. He hikes through the desert and showcases ancient cliff dwellings and other structures. It’s oddly captivating.

If you see my kayak and fishing poles tell them I miss them and I hope I get to spend more time with them when my son is a few years older.

Interested people are interesting.

I don’t run in gloves often because I’m so much warmer when I’m running than I am when I’m walking or standing outside. I generally dress as if it were 20 degrees warmer than it is, but it can be problematic for the first bit of a run. What I’ve found works best for me is running a short loop that comes back to my house in an easy to remove jacket, hat, and gloves that I can drop off at the door on my way past then continuing with the bulk of my run. In these cases any old gloves will do. When I do wear gloves for the full run, I wear a pair of thin, but insulated gloves from Heat that I got at Costco. They have silver in the fingers, so I can use my phone. It’s more difficult than without the gloves, but it’s not like I’m using my phone much mid run anyway.

Speaking of ships, Penelope could launch a thousand.

I drive a newer Tacoma. It looks like a little baby next to full-sized pickups, but it’s a giant if I pull up next to an older Tacoma at a traffic light.

I just started getting into Enshrouded. It seems fun so far, but I haven’t gotten very far yet. I’m playing with a group of friends and it seems a little harder to juggle solo vs group play in Enshrouded than it was in Valheim since it’s more quest/exploration based for experience.

What harm ever came from reading a book?

I appreciate that the junction box is labeled. There’s a switch in my hallway that does nothing and has baffled me for years until I fixed an exhaust fan in the attic and found “hall switch” scrawled in Sharpie on a random junction box cover.

I used this system more than I care to admit and never had significant problems with it. My biggest issue was when trying to modify an existing item on the ticket.

I want to be a digital organizer, but I’m also a folder nesting whore and things get out of sight out of mind to easily. I find my daily tasks and todos are much more effective if I write them down in a small notebook that I always keep in my bag.

If he can play a stapler, he can be a pregnant Asian woman too!

I’m pretty sure it’s and f-14 launching off of a carrier, but the image is zoomed in so you only see a tiny portion of the deck obscured by the smoke. The orange glow is the jets on the back, and it’s taken at an angle which makes the tail fins stick out weirdly.

In the Midwest, we sometimes measure distance in number of songs.

Also the homemade signs on the farmers land. As a kid, I always got a kick out of a sheet of plywood that had been painted with a simple message: “outlaw sodomy.”

Don’t let Randy Johnson get any apples.

The pictures are correct, but they don’t show how traffic can back up for miles before the merge point with everybody sitting in just one lane, and some guy who has taken it upon himself to police everyone else’s “manners” swerving to block anyone who dares to the the open lane and “cut in line.”

I’ll add “The Great Automatic Grammatizator.” It’s my favorite by far, but I like all of the stories in “The Umbrella Man and other stories.”

I think I meant buy. I’ve edited the comment. That said, after rereading the story last tonight, the reason they buy the rights to authors names is to eliminate competition and maximize profits.

Here it is if you’re interested. It’s a great read.

This reminds me of the short story “The Great Automatic Grammatizator” by Roald Dahl. In the story a machine is invented that can write great stories, but it’s creators go around buying the naming rights of authors so people will actually not their books.
