I need to travel to Fort Hood from time to time to remind me just how much I hate this place.

Dang… it’s on tonight huh

KGRK - Super-Res Reflectivity Tilt 1 19:59 CDT #txwx

Taking advantage of the weather today and working at the alternate office.

Well, I’m not totally sure what’s happening in this photograph, but it seems like an entertaining way to spend an afternoon, regardless…

I enjoyed the first one so much, I read the second. These books are a master class in efficient world building, and show not tell. Yes there is exposition, but the dialog and character actions carry the lions share of the burden. Very well done.

I just read the first “Murderbot” book (novella really). I am again amazed that I went this long without knowing about these. They are truly entertaining.

My Letterboxd list of films about revenge from beyond.

The first of my Halloween inspired lists…

Love to hear your comments.

We have an Eastern Screech owl who has been calling my yard home for over ten years. I’m listening to them hoot right now. I always enjoy it.

Man I’ve had a headache for about fifteen straight days.

Is the copper pump worth the labor required to work the extra acre?

I just had a lovely midnight snack with my youngest spawn.

We sauté chickpeas with olive oil, dill, lemon zest, and garlic. Serve it with a splash of lemon and tablespoon of feta and preferably (if we have it, which we did tonight) a few triangles of naan bread.

All this stuff with the collapse of Afghanistan has me pretty bummed out.

Long drive across Texas today.

It will be good to be home.

Turns out I’m really afraid of heights - 😳

I do love a good coffee shop to take the edge off. @redrockcoffee

Well Durango is awfully pretty, if a bit touristy…

I’ve just eaten a lovely dime store burrito that I hope I dont regret later tonight, washed it down with an icy root beer, and now I’m enjoying a hot tea before bed.

We may find many small victories all through our lives when we choose to look for them.
