Bask in the glow


📷 Day 9: Bloom

📷 Day 8: Union The unholy union of 17 Again and Constantine. The sequel I didn’t know I wanted.

Moved a large entertainment center down some basement stairs singlehandedly.

I’m done for the week. Makes notes while I am still strong. I am no longer in my 20s.

📷 Day 7: Park

Crater Lake National Park was breathtakingly beautiful. We visited July ‘21 and the weather was clear and the fires cooperative.

Joe Ledger is my first love. But Jack Reacher can be fun too.

Love reading about little podunk towns in Virginia I’ve been to that pop up in stories. I see you Sperryville, VA.

Walking downstairs without ducking. Experiment failed.

📷 Day 2: Photo Following directions (from 2019 before the end times).

Get back from a weekend trip, then a week off due to getting Covid on said weekend trip. Today get news the person that was hired to take over one job of the two I have been doing…. has been let go. I would officially like to restore to a backup from early March.

📷 Day 1: Switch around how the dishes are loaded. I love this dishwasher.

Playing a game of “What bird are you?”

eBird is stumped. My best guess is some kind of gull. I walked around the block trying to get a better view but I never got a view of the head or beak. I saw it fly away and it’s…. A big white bird with dark wing tips.

I’m having a surreal conversation with Doordash.

They insist I have no account. Yet, I can’t sign up because the website says there is an account. And I can get sent password reset emails.

For my account. That doesn’t exist.

I am day-to-day with an upper body injury.

I just had a stranger sit down next to me and say “so we meet again.”

Am I an NPC in his game? Do I need to give him a quest?

Did you know the National Arboretum in DC has a Bald Eagle nest with cameras? National Arboretum Bald Eagle Cam | HDOnTap.com

Both “Mr. President” and Lotus are in the nest with a chick right now.

This is a real place and is now at the top of my list for this weekend.

Gatlinburg, TN ahoy

Going to Gatlinburg, TN for a long weekend. Booked this trip purely to:

  1. Stay in a cabin decorated for Christmas (yes, in April)
  2. Visit their aquarium, since it came up on a list of good aquariums and was a reasonable drive away.

I did not realize it was Easter. Until I saw breakfast with giant bunnies as events.

I’m excited to go play tourist.

I wrote an API spec for work. Today I ran it for the first time and we got real data back.

Is the Android app eating my posts?

The waiter brings him 5 drinks.

He was using Roman numerals. ✌️

Another look at the turbulent video game industry. It’s amazing any games get made with the instability, uncertainty and chaos of an industry where you are only as good as your last game.
