However, a good laugh is a mighty good thing, and rather too scarce a good thing; the more’s the pity.

If you are considering an itinerary offered through Alaska Air that includes another airline such as American, I strongly recommend against it. Hassle at every juncture.

Rob Reiner was a master storyteller whose gifts transcended genre & scope, from larger than life adventure to intimate horror to childlike wonder and beyond. He was truly one of one. As you wish.

I would watch this

Me, aging and replete with dad bod, thinking there might still be a chance to make it after all

It's a little known fact that the predator in Predator isn't actually arming a bomb on its wrist computer near the end, but is calling The Police.

Day 2 of shuffling through all the nation’s airports, DFW edition

Of all the magazines I’ve seen people read in airports, why Guns and Ammo. I mean as a gun owner and a hand loader I seriously am asking, what new shit is there in guns that I gotta keep up on

Home office sent me this photo while I was stranded in SEA

I’m two beers into a flight delay so forgive me, but Christopher F. Rufo can go eat shit.

Was so cold on yesterday’s ride into work I split my back tire along the bead. Dang.

Sean Duffy can we get hooka bars in airports thank you

Flight to Sitka

Morning walk with Nutmeg

He looks like he’s trying to stop his dog from leaving him

After lubricating ball bearings and arbors with graphite, got this clock to run reliably with less than 1/2 the drive weight of my previous clock

Clock serial #5 assembly complete, and in testing. Just over 4 degrees amplitude, roughly 7 day runtime. (Steve Petersen clock #15)

"Birth of the Homunculus" A sorceress astounded by her creation. This painting has been floating around in my head for months now, and I only found the right time to bring it to fruition yesterday! (see thread for details + process shot-by-shot)

May I present the perfect way to start one’s day:

Let's focus on disaster relief shall we, there seems to be no shortage, especially in Alaska. Live and let live!

Not everyone was happy about the return of winter. Discovered this poor little feller in my wood shed.

Currently dorking out over this graph about child mortality with my brother. Just mind boggling to take in.

Took a walk up to the snow line this afternoon

Get in the zone Watto ///Zone

A friend who teaches theology shared with me a post about CS Lewis's Mere Christianity, which discusses foundational Christian logic across denominations. It reminded me of Dale's tweet below, and I wanted to share some thoughts here regarding modesty and respectability, which are often hot topics.

Got about 5 miles of walking in this weekend along with some short climbs and beach walking. No substantial pain or swelling so far.

The start of yesterday’s walk

Beach day

Parts for Crazy Gear Wall Clock coming together. Loving multicolor filament. Obtained design over yonder www.stevesclocks.com/sp12

type for books used to be set using little metal letters built into words in racks and then inked and pressed on to paper. If you had stock phrases you wanted to reuse a lot you could make a cast of them called a ‘stereotype’. The sound of them *clicking* into place, in French, is ‘cliché’

8675309 is prime, and so is 8675311, so if you ever need a middlin'-large pair of adjacent primes to test your cryptographic suite, all you need is a 1980s earworm and a +2 and you're all set.

Being married to a teacher, I'm more than sympathetic to their argument. But please for the love of cursive, good penmanship, and the sacred game of hangman, what is going on here.

Testing serial #3

I’m pretty sure winning a slam dunk lawsuit against this criminal extortion would have been cheaper than dropping $60m during a bad budget crunch. They didn’t cave to pressure. They collaborated with the regime and sold out their students and staff.

My mother in-law passed away early this morning. Doubtful that a kinder person ever trod the earth, she will be deeply missed.

There is no Dana, only BIG FALL SAVINGS AT MENARDS

I painted ur dog

please NPR, that's what the book's all about

Why in the FUCK is Alaska part of this suit? WHY? I feel ashamed of our State government. Given Alaskas history this is utterly atrocious. www.tn.gov/attorneygene...
