I think it’s supposed to be bird food

I wonder if this is the base structure of a parade float.

Not sure if that’s better, worse, or equally mediocre compared to Laszlo Cravensworth turning into Jackie Daytona with a simple toothpick.

Received my new ForeRunner 165 and inaugurated it this morning. Pretty handy and I like that it works so well with my chest strap hr monitor.

I also signed up for parkrun, even though it will be a bit before I’m able to participate for the first time.

Sent this to family group chat. Consensus is that Grover is a better Dude, and Oscar fits as Jesus. After all, doing six months in Chino for exposing himself to an eight year old would explain why Oscar lives in a trash can.

Creep can fuckin roll though.

Only time in my life I’ve ever seen guards posted at night was when I was in the military.

I could see it plausibly happening in an area with major rioting and wide spread civil disorder. Other than that, nope.

As someone who also visited DC recently, I will say that getting a three day Metro pass made using the subway super convenient, and having a map of the Metro system on my phone made it even more convenient. There are standalone apps available, but both Apple maps & Google maps ought to be able to show you the different lines & stations.

My most recent new state visited was Wisconsin back in 2014. I was in MN (specifically southeast side of the twin cities) for several days for a work trip. My colleague and I were sharing a rental car, and we figured why not go across the state line just for funsies. We wound up driving to Prescott WI, stopped for some pictures right across the bridge, visited a liquor store on the edge of town, and returned to our hotel in MN.

This was a very small sample size (about half an hour in total), so it’s hard to give a positive or negative recommendation based off of it.

I will note for the record that nearly 6 million people live in WI. It’s implausible that they could all be wrong, so clearly there must be a decent amount of upside to the place. I hear UW Madison is an amazing university. They have MLB, NBA, and NFL teams. They like drinking. They have plenty of museums and touristy shit and natural scenery. If you went there for a week and didn’t try to eat all your meals from the nearest gas station, I’m sure you’d have a decent time.

I’m antsy about getting stuff tailored because my weight is fluctuating a bit and I worry that any money spent on tailoring would be wasted.

I finished Doctor Odyssey and am looking forward to the next batch of episodes that are supposed to start in March.

I’ve started High Potential and am enjoying it so far. It’s not high art like The Wire, but it’s entertaining and the protagonist has some similarities to Sherlock Holmes.
