p.s. this track is free, but it is #BandcampFriday so you can buy other artists' music with all proceeds staying with the artist - none of the usual fees cut out of their take.

The fatigue hit me hard at work today going back to my normal 7am-3:30pm shift. There’s a good chance I am napping as soon as I get home (hopefully by 5pm if the Parkway and 22 traffic actually behaves today)

I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home.
But did you look at the judge's order?
It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept."
