I sincerely love how the BBC solidifies the canon of British culture. Like to me Chris Rea is the Road to Hell because I was living in Kent when the M25 opened, but also and of course youtu.be/H0WiwB1Cjbg?...

I'd hoped normal service might resume today. I woke up with a tight 600 words mentally typed out on the suspension of the US-UK technology deal. The subject line included a terrific pun.
Then, I went for a walk in Sydney.

I haven't blogged for ages, so I wrote far too many words about something that happened 40 years ago, and which nobody outside of America cares about.

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.
