đź“ş Alone: Africa
Watch as ten people go out into the wilderness to survive instead of getting therapy.
It’s always interesting to watch how quickly they realize that self-reliance and testing themselves with their survival skills is the easy part.
Dealing with their own thoughts is tue challenge.
Saw a neat truck today.
Saw a cool bird on my walk today. Appears to be a white pigeon.
I used to buy $10 slip on shoes from Walmart for yard shoes. However, they are no longer in stock so I had to improvise and up to $15 for these sweet yard shoes that came pre-green for my convenience.
Running around in Iron Banner playing Banana dress up with my friends this morning was a great way to start a day. Even if it was far too early and sleepless.
Started watching this on a whim today. Watched the entire season in one sitting. Quite enjoyed it. Felt like a sillier Breaking Bad.

Nine Inch Nails - Nine Inch Noize on rotation all day! nineinchnails.lnk.to/NineInchN…
Aetna, you have this button on the page of every single one of my claims.
I would think that by using it to request the call, you would also show some information about the claim to the representative calling me back. However, that is not the case. At least I got a call back. So that’s a win.
Frabjous.
It’s a real word. It’s in my head tonight. I have no idea where I encountered it recently.
It feels like a Lewis Carroll word. It is in Jabberwocky.
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!”
But where did I encounter it recently. No one can say.
(It means joyful or delightful)
Not a bad view in this Easter. Sitting in the sofa, smelling beef brisket baking. Listening to the sound of my nephew playing “A Game About Digging a Hole.”
I saw a gold finch this morning as I was getting my coffee. Now all I want to do is sit outside and watch the birds.
Less snow than the last storm. Needed to get out of my house and take a short walk. There’s Pokémon Go eggs to hatch and I need to get outside the same four walls I spend all day and night within.
Glenstone Museum in Potomac, Maryland just opened a new exhibit in my birthday this week.
Ties of our Common Kindred was such a lovely exhibit with so many artists.
We enjoyed it on Sunday in the rain. No photos allowed inside so I took some of the walking trail and grounds as the snow finally began to melt.
This tree is so beautiful. I have to stop and enjoy it every time we visit.
My lovely wife descending into the pavilions.
Caught Mr. Fox in a daylight visit yesterday.
The squirrels are eating well. With the additional 6-10” of snow and ice they are able to leap up and over the baffles. I’m not fighting them. They earned it. The snow will melt one day and they’ll be back to being baffled.
This Blue Jay is so big it wraps around. My older gamers will get it.
I remember this story because of my Dad. He walked out of the house and found his young son digging a random hole on the property. No plan, poorly equipped, but enthusiastically digging. He stood there asking questions, not judging. Supporting the dream.
Just letting me gleefully dig.
He taught me that no one knows where inspiration comes from — only that it’s fragile, invaluable, and fleeting. – Rands: I’m Going to Dig a Hole
That last line stuck with me. Inspiration is fragile, invaluable and fleeting.
Tron Ares is Hackers with more RGB.
Taskmaster New Year’s Double Treat was so much fun! And an announcement of the next series? #blessed
YES!
If you don’t belt out “GREASY BLACK PEEL” during the Grinch, is it even Christmas?
I hope you had some dark-eyed juncos, mourning doves or carolina wrens visit you this morning. They’ve all beautiful against the snow.
I love how the doves just look like they never know where they’re going. Just waddling to and fro on their pink feet.
Why was Brady Anderson (Oriole baseball player) on Sabrina the Yeenaged Witch?
There must be a back story here…
On my fourth (fifth?) attempt I got the Automatic Ripoing Machine setup and working in docker in a virtual machine.
Now it’s hungrily chewing through my dvds and preparing them for a service of locally hosted streaming.
We made one of our favorite, easy dinners tonight. Easy Sheet Pan Chicken Recipe with Chickpeas, Cumin and Turmeric
One thing I’ve added is to drain and roll the chick peas around on the sheet pan with paper towels to remove the skins and dry them out. This helps to make them crispier when they cook.
It turned out perfectly tonight. One of the few times my finished dish resembled the recipe photo.
Marinating and prepping.
Ready for the oven.
Delicious Perfection!
