My package finally arrived from Peru. These alpaca slippers are probably as warm as shearling, and, since they’re white, make me look like a Yeti from the ankles down. The soles are reasonably thick suede, so I probably could wear them outside, but I wouldn’t go squishing through the mud in them. I predict one […]

Logistics Software

I do not understand the logistics software the USPS uses. It makes sense to send a package from Detroit down to Indianapolis, before sending it east. What makes no sense to me is sending a package from Maryland through Virginia, then up to New York, only to go back down to where I live. Nor […]

We were supposed to get a foot of snow overnight. Instead, we got an inch of rain. That could have become a problem, if the sun had stayed beyond cloud cover, but it broke though, and the wet driveway is getting dry. Good, because it’s supposed to go into single digits over the next couple […]

I had to drop something off at the UPS Store about a mile from here, and decided to stop by another place on my way back to pick up a 12-pack, mostly because my home brew needs another week’s worth of fermenting, and it was on the way. The place happened to have a nice […]

This is the best time of year to stock up on indoor/outdoor lighting, whether it’s “fairy lights” or torches. I don’t mean flashlights, when I say torches; I mean things that are solar, but look like what people in the movies carry with their pitchforks. Most of my outdoor lighting is solar. Some is electric, […]
1979 and Counting

As of 2019, a local classic rock radio station has changed its schedule to play five hours worth of music from one year starting with 1979, every Saturday afternoon, and working its way up to the present. Next Saturday’s treat will be 1980. You get the idea. 1979 is a weird mix of Punk, New […]
