A while back I stumbled upon a YouTube channel called Desert Drifter. He hikes through the desert and showcases ancient cliff dwellings and other structures. It's oddly captivating.

Assuming the error is with accidentally writing defiantly in lieu of definitely, I used to tell myself "There is definitely not an a in definitely."

Good on him for taking a hike. The first photo trips me up. Was the hike to the middle of a highway? Is there a placard or historical marker there in the middle of the highway?

If you see my kayak and fishing poles tell them I miss them and I hope I get to spend more time with them when my son is a few years older.

Interested people are interesting.

And in a similar but completely different way, the fish are being added to massive bodies of water. Home aquariums are minute in comparison, so they can't balance out chemical swings as easily and are much more prone to higher levels of nitrites and other toxic chemicals. The larger the body of water, the more stable the water quality.

I knew and I clicked anyway. God dammit.

I don't run in gloves often because I'm so much warmer when I'm running than I am when I'm walking or standing outside. I generally dress as if it were 20 degrees warmer than it is, but it can be problematic for the first bit of a run. What I've found works best for me is running a short loop that comes back to my house in an easy to remove jacket, hat, and gloves that I can drop off at the door on my way past then continuing with the bulk of my run. In these cases any old gloves will do. When I do wear gloves for the full run, I wear a pair of thin, but insulated gloves from Heat that I got at Costco. They have silver in the fingers, so I can use my phone. It's more difficult than without the gloves, but it's not like I'm using my phone much mid run anyway.

My wife liked the idea of Eleanor if we had a girl, I never liked it, but luckily we had a boy, so we didn't have to cross that bridge.

At work, we named the old, decrepit copier Opal in an effort to humanize it and get people to treat the old girl with more love and patience.

Speaking of ships, Penelope could launch a thousand.

I drive a newer Tacoma. It looks like a little baby next to full-sized pickups, but it's a giant if I pull up next to an older Tacoma at a traffic light.

I think most students are copying/pasting instructions to GPT, not uploading documents.

The good news here is that all the signs in Cherry county still all only account for fifteen voters (thank goodness cattle can't vote), so a lot of Osborne signs in Omaha is still a good sign. My mom is very excited for him in Grand Island. There's some support out west.

I, a high school English teacher, reread "A Good Man is Hard to Find" today. Shit hits different when you have your own kids.

I just started getting into Enshrouded. It seems fun so far, but I haven't gotten very far yet. I'm playing with a group of friends and it seems a little harder to juggle solo vs group play in Enshrouded than it was in Valheim since it's more quest/exploration based for experience.

What harm ever came from reading a book?

I appreciate that the junction box is labeled. There's a switch in my hallway that does nothing and has baffled me for years until I fixed an exhaust fan in the attic and found "hall switch" scrawled in Sharpie on a random junction box cover.

A few years ago, I started a sentence in my class with "When I was born". A student instantly chimed in and said "What in the 19's?" And I thought in my head, of course you idiot, everybody is born in the 19's. It still haunts me.

Any two part move like dig or fly.

Not to say that the social programs are flourishing or anything, but it's worth noting that the tales of people eating dogs and cats in Springfield have been debunked and are unfounded rumors being perpetuated by Trump/Vance on a national stage.
