  1. Ohio isn't burning down, but Wednesday was one of the worst days I've ever experienced. I've had some pretty bad days. I'm kind of in awe that I've grown enough to not be a complete and total wreck. I'm not even drinking my way out (I wish I were). I hope the Cali crew starts having better luck.
  2. Why did he only own it for about half an hour?
  3. Trump probably had a dry turkey sandwich and made the decision to ban Turkey forever.
  4. Get a demo of the separately, and then combine your memories.
  5. I became officially non-single, again, today. I had been worried that I wouldn't have somebody to go to my favorite pumpkin patch (the one next to the semi-abandoned amusement park, which is perfect for Halloween) with. Once again, I prove that I can talk nearly anybody into anything, even semi-abandoned amusement park adjacent pumpkin pickings. I'm very happy. Oh, wow: I just realized that I'm primarily vegan. Wow.
  6. I think Freud would probably say "why have I been brought back to life merely to find myself smushed into an urn?!"
  7. I just smoked some aged GL Pease Key Largo out of my Savinelli Autograph. What a good smoke. Nearly a decade of aging has made this tastier and tastier.
  8. So, Star Trek Discovery. I went in with very low expectations. I think the first episode was a waste of a primetime slot, and certainly was nothing more than a cash grab for CBS All Access, given the way it... ended? Did the episode end? My takeaway from the "transition" is that maybe those NCIS guys would deal with the Klingons. Episode two was pretty good. It certainly makes some decisions that I wouldn’t have made, and it sure would be nice if someday, somewhere, somebody making Star Trek figures out how shields are supposed to work, but it’s pretty good. It’s definitely a Bryan Fuller show, and it will be interesting to see if that continues, given that he jumped ship (no pun intended) pretty early on. Anyway, I'm cautiously optimistic. I did rather enjoy that there was a nice little homage to Kirk talking computers to death, in the second episode (not much of a spoiler, that).
  9. Some Dunhill Durbar, in my 40s vintage Savinelli KS. It's a cool, long smoke, but less flavorful than I remember. The two hours the bowl lasted was great for catching up on some podcasts, though, this evening. Perfect fine grey ash to the bottom, though it took a little bit of work to get it to stay lit, at top.
  10. To me, HDCD wasn't terribly useful due to the actual quality increase that HDCD gave, but that albums which they bothered to make as an HDCD usually had good mastering.
  11. No pics, but I made a funky risotto, tonight: miso, beets, garlic and dry Huangjiu, made with sushi rice. Topped with a knob of butter and some excellent parmigiana.
  12. If you are interested in nuclear insanity, I strongly recommend The Head Hand. https://www.amazon.com/Dead-Hand-Untold-Dangerous-Legacy/dp/0307387844
  13. Veggie dogs and vegan burger patties for everybody!
  14. Maybe I should have a cheat day and fire up the Weber, while the weather is still nice.
  15. Well, my GMT has started running -20 sec/day. It was running -2, previously.. It's not magnetized (I had it demagnetized at a local jeweler I trust, who has a real demagnetizer, and not the $20 Chinese one I have), and it hasn't been knocked, or dropped, or abused in any other way. I guess it goes back to California. The service was warrantied, and I'm absolutely sure it will be taken care of, but I'm having some bad watch luck, of late.
  16. Yeah, I wasn't expecting that. I think GGG won 7 rounds. It was as great fight, though.
