Still Why We Sleep, just got to a part that made me think of Matt and that dreadful day. Basically, the author shows how driving while sleep deprived is as bad or worse than driving inebriated, because there isn’t as much of a stigma against driving while tired. Impaired judgment is still impaired judgement, no matter the cause. And as I’ve always said, when your judgment is impaired, your judgment as to whether or not your judgment is impaired is impaired. From what little I know of what happened, it sure sounds like sleep deprivation may have been a large factor.

You’d probably just have a particular clientele.

Started my daily walk in light rain. Rain became heavy. Raised umbrella. Saw lightning and heard thunderclap less than a second later. Realized I was a walking lightning rod. Turned around and went home.

If whoever pulled up the weeds left any root structure at all, you may not have to spend any money on artificial ones.

Blues based hard rock with female vocals

Carnival Row—excellent production values, some nicely morally complex characters (but I think I know how this is going to go), and some interesting takes on contemporary issues. Recommended!

Late Night Union on bandcamp. Hard rock. Only Access to the Sun is an album, but the rest of the songs are great, too. Previously was the sillily named Awooga, but they're even harder rock, and I dig them too.

Daw! I would take him home and feed him and cuddle...um..him or her...and call him (involuntarily shudders)

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen a good 2/3 of them.

I kept getting notices that it's been upgraded to hurricane...then level 2 hurricane, and now level 3 hurricane...I wish you all safe!

@knuckledragger @ironbut anyone who believes there's no such thing as too many samples. https://reverb.com/software/samples-and-loops/reverb/3514-reverb-drum-machines-the-complete-collection

Egad, batten down the hatches, y’all!

Yes. Best not, then.

That’s a lot of porn. Aye keed aye keed

Foxtrot, ...Lamb..., Selling England..., Trick..., Wind & Wuthering, and now ...and then there were three...—my first and still the most underrated.

I had a whole bunch of stuff at Reynold's Tavern in Annapolis: bacon mac & cheese, Roasted Red Pepper Hummus Served with diced Tomato, Cucumber, and Kalamata Olives and Feta Cheese with warmed pita, drizzled with pepper infused Olive Oil; Seared scallops over foraged mushroom and parmesan risotto, finished with balsamic reductions; andouille sausage in a cajun spiced tomato sauce; artichoke lobster dip; some other stuff (I don't even remember it all). I won the evening when I took some of the mac & cheese (the bacon had already all been eaten off), and drizzled the andouille-infused cajun-spiced tomato sauce from that dish -- they were delicious together, and everyone else followed suit. and then a berry cream and shortbread "cake" like desert. I told everyone I wasn't much of a desert person, but everyone else was stuff by then, so I ended up having to eat most of it. I'm going to have to walk several miles every day this week to burn it all off.

Went to see Selling Fairfax by the Pound last night (local, awesome Genesis tribute band). Setlist went something like this (from memory, so excuse any inaccuracies, and really doubt the order -- there was an intermission in there somewhere): Eleventh Earl of Mar Dancing with the Moonlit Knight Firth of Fifth some song from the first album something with the lyric baby (Silent Sun, maybe?) Blood on the Rooftops First and Second Homes by the Sea Follow You Follow Me Duke Suite (Behind the Lines/Duchess/Guide Vocal) Keep it Dark In Too Deep Entangled Horizons/Supper's Ready Chamber of 32 Doors The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway Musical Box (Closing Section) Dance on a Volcano In the Cage Medley instrumental section from Three Sides Live (inc. Cinema Show and Battle of Epping Forest) Afterglow Watcher of the Skies omitted encore: The Knife (!)
