The ol’ RS232?

Blinking LED when I got a text

We’ve moved from "it never happened " to “it’s not that bad”

I have a strategy for when I get tailgated in the slow lane and it’s not brake checking because that’s what they expect. I’ll lock the cruise control to my desired speed. They get right up on my ass and don’t back off, I speed up putting space between me and them. At this point they’ll speed up and I’ll take my foot off the gas and let the car slow down back to cruise control speed. Repeat as necessary. The trick is to never touch the brakes. The driver behind me is alternating between speeding up and hitting the brakes. Eventually they’ll get tired of it and either pass or back off

No one image or video is going to give you a full picture of what a place or it’s population is like

This one is from nearly 30 years ago. In my dream I’m approached by 2 policemen who tell me my father has been killed and they need me to come with them for questioning. I’m 100% sure my father is alive and this is all a misunderstanding. I get in the back of their police car laughing that it’s all a waste of time but whatever, no worries. As the car is rolling along I’m looking out the windows as the landscape gradually changes. First it was all tall pine trees then became rocky, then nothing but rocks. While still moving it all fades away and the car disappears and I’m flying. The only other thing I remember is seeing a bird flying with me. It’s a bird I’ve never seen before even though I’m a bit of a backyard birder. There were teardrop shaped things trailing behind it’s wings as if attached by strings. Truly unusual looking. I wake up in the morning and I’m convinced I was tricked into leaving my body by these men claiming to be policemen. Fast forward to just a few weeks ago, someone posts video of a nightjar. A nocturnal bird that looks just like the one in my dream! https://youtu.be/8XqqlC_MoWk

Apparently you’re the only one. Fox New’s Half Hour News Hour didn’t last long. https://youtu.be/KCl_--E3T2c It was their attempt to copy The Daily Show and even the title was recycled. It didn’t last long

It’s always cringy when “the right” can’t come up with an original idea so they imitate something successful on “the left” and swap out words and think it’ll get anywhere

If you like rock docs this is a good one.

Just make some pot holes nobody can remove those

I love winter! The parks are mostly empty and there’s a lot less litter and obnoxious stuff going on. The kind of fishing i do lasts from November to April and I spend a lot of my time outside. Our house has a furnace but not central AC so it’s more comfortable.

Such is life. You are always going to look back and have regrets and imagine how you could have done better. Reassess and use that knowledge to do better in the future but don’t get hung up in the past

And if you want to fish for trout, research the waters you intend to fish. I booked a cabin for a long fall weekend only to find out the creeks weren’t going to be stocked until the following weekend. Trout don’t survive the warm summers there and there’s no natural reproduction

Better yet understand that none of your gear makes heat, you do. Think of your sleeping bag and clothes as batteries that need to be recharged periodically and your body is a generator. When you shiver that is your body trying to burn calories to produce heat. You can stay much warmer by keeping busy and moving around than you will by standing around a fire. When you wake up cold in the middle of the night, move your legs like you’re riding a bicycle while laying on your side. It won’t take long to warm up. Also keep an isolating layer between you and the ground like a foam sleeping pad. It also works for when standing on frozen ground.

Eat em all at once. Right before your appointment at the dentist to have your teeth cleaned

Squiddly Diddly just Winnie The Pooed it

When you think about it we’re kinda like worms. Stuff goes in the front end and shit goes out the back end. Day in and day out

Make every day count

Try Un-Mario

This. I’d like to add that I avoid reading about things that “could” happen
