I saw my second this weekend, turning into a local cheapo grocery’s parking lot. The first one, a couple of weeks ago, was headed into a valet parking–only lot owned by a local strip club. Both of these seem to be on target, and I can’t rule out that they were the same one.

I’ve been chatting in emails about travel with a friend who asked where I loved to be. I realized my three favorite places to be are a window seat on an airplane, any boat that isn’t at dock, and lastly by far, on the ground, but if I must be on the ground, in the most open space I can find.

Y’ALL. Someone on the other site tried to make a Minion™ pizza and I cannot stop laughing; we’ve allllll had things go wrong in the kitchen, but this is a pretty vivid example... 🤣🤣🤣

Pizza dough laid out in a Minion shape. So far so good…
The finished, but uncooked pie, cheese and pepperoni forming the minion itself and its coverall, a slice of mushroom and black olive for the eyes— it looks okay!
The cooked pie which has just dissolved into a blorp of cheese and haphazardly scattered toppings, resembling a Minion that was locked in the sarcophagus at Chernobyl.

My oncologist devised a therapy for me that's kept me off chemo for over 8 years and he recently harvested my T cells for future therapies. I know I'm a very fortunate outlier (and he agrees) but I hope all these advances move us to where it's what we can hope for, if not expect.

The only Cybertruck I have seen here in Chicago was making a right turn into a valet-only parking lot for a strip club a mile north of me. I was mildly surprised that its owner would let someone else drive it, but otherwise thought it tracked.

I was working for a “Web 2.0 dotcom” when that stupid first book came out, and every single one of us got a copy. I skimmed the first couple of chapters and thought I’d have to dig deep to find anything interesting, useful, or actionable. Truly I missed my calling, my timing, or both.

Back when my cat was taking pills, I was relieved that the vet’s advice to smear some cheese was working so well. A couple of days later, I saw some ants on the kitchen floor. I followed them, and they were slurping up what was left of the cheese on the pills the cat was depositing in the pantry.

Oh, thanks! I thought the mere existence of annular eclipses was already something of a spoiler alert for the last total eclipse. I’ll relax and enjoy the ones I’ve got left.

Do we know when the last total solar eclipse will be, Phil? And does the frequency of annular eclipses increase at any kind of statistically noticeable pace? I’m not sure I’m phrasing that right, but you can probably suss what I mean. 🙂
