I was wondering why I hadn't seen any spools move north up 101 since last I was here.

my wife found this online somewhere recently, and I don't think I've agreed this hard with anything in a long time

Screenshot of a page of a book, first line is highlighted:

The real luxuries in life:

time
health
a quiet mind
slow mornings
ability to travel
rest without guilt
a good night’s sleep
calm and “boring” days
meaningful conversations
home-cooked meals
people you love
people who love you back

When people say, "Oh, I have baking yeast!", just go ahead and buy some anyway because theirs is probably from 1998.

@ferrix This is quite true.

Also, anything is amphibious if you can get it out of the water and you can air drop anything at least once

i love it when i troubleshoot a thing for like three days meticulously trying to figure out wtf is happening, and it turns out 'just rebooting it' fixed the problem entirely.

I hate waiting on people. I figure I could regain 20% of my current life span if I filtered that out.

Just noticed this: quite close to the NSA, there's a Snowden Pond… (I wonder if the pipes or streams feeding the pond leak.)

A screenshot of a map. In the lower left, you can see Snowden Pond; in the upper right, there's Fort Meade. They're about two exits apart via the Baltimore Washington Parkway.
