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…
“Dislinear plotting and noncontiguous prose have their adherents, not the least of which am I, but in the end, my friends, it is character which wins or loses immortality upon the vellum.” - the Poet
Well.
Well. Well. Well.
Nothing better first thing in the morning. It always energizes me.
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.
i cannot believe it has taken me this long to discover this book.
Currently reading: Hyperion (Hyperion Cantos) by Dan Simmons 📚
It’s been a while since I’ve travelled. It’s been even longer since I’ve stayed at altitude, and I’m currently 8000 feet above sea level.
I’m feeling it. Every bit of it.
Just A Little Compassion
For every step forward, there is a step back. The trick is keeping a reasonable perspective on things.
There are no good or bad things. Just things. They are what you perceive them to be.
Today has been a truly strange day.
I made a lovely paella last night.
So. I’m walking earlier with my messenger bag slung across my back. It catches on a 10 foot 1x4 trim board leaning against the garage wall. I hear and feel it catch, turn to see what’s up in time to receive said board directly in the face.
I now have a steadily blackening eye.
Guy in the next office - speaking to no one (he’s an Air Force Lt Col BTW)
I’m going to make my hot dog now. I’ve got my hot dog kit and I’m hungry. No one cares, but I am. I eat a lot of kids food, I recognize this, but I’m hungry, and I will do what I have to do to survive.
Congratulations to Tampa Bay.
2 Cups in 2 years.
We should be so lucky as to win one here in Texas (in the modern era anyway) with the Stars.
Oh well.
Instagram Alienates?
THIS is a large part of why I have been reorganizing my online presence to move away from IG and to micro.blog and Wordpress. In a nutshell, Instagram says they are not focused on their original founding principles anymore and have moved to a position that will focus on video and messaging, thus allowing them to compete with rivals like TikTok. Understanding their reasons, and ultimately it is their company, this means it’s less interesting to me as a platform.
