Yesterday I learned from Rick Steves (#YILFRS): 80 million people live in Germany, a country the size of Montana.

Lets talk about the arm wrestling scene from Twin Peaks. Tell you what: that's something worth talking about.

You just don't want to go outside when it's 100 or more. Can't figure out much to do right now.

112 heat index. Power company email asks to raise your thermostat by 4 degrees. My wife says that that's directed at "normal" people who keep it set at 70. I set ours at 82.

How many people have converted to Catholicism because Father Brown is such an awesome detective?

In other news: an asteroid almost smashed into earth yesterday. A city killer. Filed in the department of existential threats that aren’t going away.

The window cleaner who suddenly appears in S3E14 of Twin Peaks is doing the worst squeegee work I’ve ever seen.

Trip to NE Mall today. Hoooooooot our today. CCF Big Give post today. Today today today is a day.

This morning our dog got out - chased a lady halfway up the block - then foolishly stopped to poop in the yard across the street, which is how I caught him.

The problem is that I want to have ALL of the entertainment experiences. The trap of the modern world.

Catching up with all the WWDC info - actually pretty exciting that I could now sync a PS4 controller to ATV.

Watched the Titus Andronicus live stream and prestige sitcom today. Like those guys a lot.

Low end estimates are that Emily Dickinson spent a third of her life sleeping, a half writing letters, and a half writing poems.

My old copy of the debut Vampire Weekend album (that fell off the back of a truck) had the wrong track order and included an extra song. Now I've got the correct album. My wrong version was better.

Another downside to listening to your music exclusively on a streaming service: loss of privacy - you tell a big company everything about how, when, and where you listen to your music - also, obviously, What you listen to - and how often and how many times.

I don't care much that the recent glut of Marvel movies are "ending." They're bloated and long and tiresome. Also, they'll never actually end. Hollywood played nerds like a fiddle.

In about 90 minutes, will have finished listening to all 15 Shostakovich string quartets. My favorites remain #3 in F, #5 in Bb, #15 in Ebm.

Used filtered water from the fridge to make the coffee this morning. This is the great stuff of life. Hot off the presses news and content.
