Had no energy and didn’t want to do a bunch of cooking and was just going to make scrambled eggs. Then realized we had made fajitas the other night and had everything ready to go for huevos rancheros. Best tasting lazy dinner ever.

I am not happy about the CR agreement, but it was a good showing. It reverses the federal layoffs. I am annoyed they didn’t hold out for an extension on the ACA credits, but I honestly think Rs were never going to budge. And this forces the House back into session. I understand why they did it.

It’s the spousal unit’s birthday tomorrow, so for his present, I planned a trip to a nearby metro so he could see a particular guitarist he really likes.
The concert was last night. It was great.
And then, walking back to our car, I got hit by a car while crossing in a crosswalk. I am fine.

I am thoroughly disgusted with the propaganda coming out of FB pages for various government entities like DHS and BLS. Good lord, it’s full blown Nazi propaganda.

My friend has students read the Sand County Almanac as part of her environmental science course and has mentioned it many times. I haven’t read it myself but was really excited, based on her enthusiasm, to run across this at rest stop in Wisconsin.

These are my two favorite shirts. I have had them both for over two decades. They were often the apparel of choice for the weekends.
I am not sure why, but this weekend, I decided it was time to let them go.

Never a question of "if", always a matter of "when" an oil pipe leaks....
In 2005 I spent 5 months in Ecuador investigating oil extraction.
Around then German bank WestLB funded a new Andes pipeline despite past spills.
What I saw was shocking and mostly unseen. This 2022 video shows just one example of repeated spills poisoning rivers and communities.

Whenever I get depressed about moving and being in a new place far away from my family, I call one of my coworkers from my previous job. Then I realize how miserable I would be if I had stayed.

SCULLY: Do you know there’s a wiki page that said, “Obama tan suit scandal”?
OBAMA: You know what? I’m rocking that suit… And the weird thing was that there were all these pictures of Ronald Reagan in a tan suit and George Bush in a tan suit. I thought I looked better than them in it
