I think that having FEMA be able to alert cell phones in a true national emergency is a good thing. If DT uses it to campaign I will eat crow. I don’t expect that even though I’m ready to impeach the bastard.

Potato leek soup is my second favorite.

Am I going to break down soon and trade in a 2 month old Series 3 apple watch for Series 4? At 65 this heart monitor stuff is very tempting.

Fired up VMware and loaded Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and found that I still can’t get excited about Linux on the desktop.

I’m my family’s Chief Entropy Officer.

Made it back to the gym today after a month off. Hope to get back in a groove again.

It’s been two weeks since I was able to mow the lawn. Today I go out to do battle with the blades. I hope the squirrels have mercy on me and forgo dropping walnut shells on my head.

RIP Marty Balin. Another one gone. A great songwriter and singer. Jefferson Airplane loves you.

📚Next up on my reading list: Buffy Sainte-Marie: The Authorized Biography, when I can locate it.

Farmers market day. Ann’s first excursion since surgery. Every day more progress.

Installed Mojave on 2 of my 5 machines. So far, so good. Only one minor glitch with one of my VPN clients and an update fixed that.

Saw some nice shots at my camera club meeting this evening. Always fun to compare techniques.

There is nothing more exhilerating than singing. Fight me.

Old rockers do die. They don’t just fade away. Sigh.

DT is coming to my town on Oct. 4. Shoot me now.

I get to try out by barely existent carpentry skills today. What fun! Oh joy!

Yet another cost of climate change - Airports At Water’s Edge Battle Rising Sea Levels : NPR.

New roof went on today. Lots o’ bangin’.

Finally got around to catching up on some podcasts. I listen to these while doing yardwork. Noise cancelling headphones are a must when mowing. Listened to “Don’t Listen to Us” and the “Sketchnote Army” today. Didn’t quite finish the episode with @rohdesign and @patrickrhone.

Ann was discharged today. She’s doing pretty darn well. Some pain, but she’s gaining mobility every day.

I almost just got scammed hard: a cautionary tale. Whew. Close one for Mr. Sasser. Thanks to Cabel for the warning.

I name hosts on my network after cities. But I’m seriously considering naming them after PG Wodehouse characters. Fink-Nottle has a nice ring don’t you think?

This. So much this. Everything you know about obesity is wrong.

So it looks like the surgery went well. Ann will have her back in much better shape. Spinal fusion takes about a year to heal completely so no bungee jumping for a while.

Up early. Surgery day for Ann.
