This is just an absolute failure for our region. Natomas is one of the closer neighborhoods to SMF airport and public transit connections from there are abysmal. Having just visited portland, this just bums me out big time. www.reddit.com/r/Sacramento...

Books and gardening are some of the best hobbies because although you can spend a decent amount, and are unlikely to recoup in any meaningful sense, for an adult hobby there's a serious cap on spending. Like for the cost of a single malt bottle of whiskey you can get two plum trees.

One thing I’ve noticed on text based social media lately is that there are often reactionary posts announcing some sort of out of context statement about current events. I don’t know if the assumption is that everyone is refreshing the same news sources.

Somehow, I’m almost 3 books in for the year. Late to the party, but e-readers sure are pleasant to read on. Also, sure is a nice way to escape the internet for lengthy blocks of time, especially on a day like today.
