My wife got her first taste of heavy rain and thunder while driving. 3 lane road with no lines.

Pretty happy I decided to head home from my walk when I did. Only missed being out in that by about 10 minutes. Show is over now looking in my direction.

What a very Queensland-esque day and night!

I've gotta buy jeans for the man today and his only stipulation is that they not be tight so they can accommodate his extra large shlong and crew. Jesus Christ. How do I convey that to the salesperson while keeping a straight face? "Scuse do they have ample roomage for the man junk cos i got measurements for everything else"?

Having an evap cooler when it's humid outside is like standing under the sun to stay cool. At moment my little pedestal fan is putting it to shame.

I have taken possession of a MacBook Pro for work purposes (I'm going to be overseeing the integration of MacOS into our corporate environment).

I have given Apple and their OSes so much shit over the years it's quite funny that this task has fallen on me. I might need to buy a bunch of leather & wooden bracelets and fashion my hair into a manbun. I'm surprised it let me login to it without a full sleeve tattoo.

I'm going through the new Union station, and it's funny how we've built a steel trough and now people are pissing in it. I wonder what we were expecting.
