Is that...? Bah gawd! That's Paint Map's music! THEY'RE BAAAACK. It's Memorial Day Weekend, so expect heavy traffic everywhere. While we pause most of our road work during the holiday weekend, you should expect delays because there's (gestures broadly) a LOT happening.

Phew/YES!! If you liked Murderbot in book form you’ll like it on AppleTV also. They got the humor right, the most important part of the adaptation.

This is from The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson aired on May 20th, 1977. Carl Sagan says something very important, a strong message that didn't lose any validity since then.

if you know a lot of stuff i think it is your moral duty to be kind and excited when people learn stuff for the first time. the world is full of stuff we don't know about, don't be mean

Did my exit interview (honest but not specific with names); wrote my farewell Slack and email messages and setup OOFs; then drove 2 hours for the memorial service of a guy I’ve known for 25 years and was a bit younger than me. Today’s an exhausting day of big transitions.

One of my goals for this year was to learn how to fly the sport parafoil kite I’d bought in Ocean Shores, WA last winter but didn’t fly then due to the weather. It was kinda daunting.. but I flew it on Mission Beach on our vacation and had a great time. Well worth packing in my suitcase.

Back home after a week in Mission Beach, San Diego with side trips to Joshua Tree National Park (and son’s attempt to move Heart Rock), several taco stands, a sunset sail around San Diego Harbor. I start my next job next Monday, so it was nice to have some time to reset.

Cascade PBS, MSNBC, MeidasTouch, Aaron Parnas, and many other “left leaning” content is being heavily throttled, while all other content is fine.
