PSA: Aldi Turkey and Stuffing flavored rippled potato chips. Probably seasonal. So, best make haste.

You’re welcome.

Just started our open enrollment, and looks like our health insurance will be going *up* by $900-$1,000/mo. for 2026.

I have to believe that broadly distributed gut punch will echo at the ballot box next year. And, if it does, the extra expense will have been worth it.

McDonald’s, bending the knee to local coffee culture in Hanoi. (Although, to be fair, you’d be an idiot to choose McD’s for your coffee here.)

$6,300 list, back in the day (2001). Or, about $11,400 in 2025 dollars.

5.3 glorious megapixels. My main body in early BaltSun days.

Perfect rainy morning in Hanoi. Last XPeds in the books. Gonna miss this city — and this coffee.

Like, I’d be happy with any of these. For Gary, it’s just a normal daily drop. 🐐

Back in Hanoi for a few more days. This morning: Excellent cuppa coffee, croissant, and company: 85kVND / $3.09.

Petting doesn’t seem to be a problem. *Stopping* the petting is the problem.
