I hate when Apple Music puts a no budget version of a classic song into my feed. WTH is this. 😡
Instead of playing the original version by Digital Underground, Apple Music is feeding me Humpty Dance by Extreme Party Animals. The image is of a record and turntable along with the album title, song title and the name of the ‘artist’ who had no business remaking this classic.

Yesterday I went harder than I normally do and I can still feel it today. I tired but still went out walking and I think I am going to have to take my time getting back. #BlackSkyFitness

We are still in the southern hemisphere for about another month and last night there was a lunar eclipse in this part of the world. I didn’t take a picture of the eclipse but I did take a picture of the moon the following morning before the sun rose. #BlackSkyTravel

Gardens by the Bay (Singapore) at night #BlackSkyTravel
A set of three very large artificial trees lit up in shades of blue and purple. A nighttime shot of around 7 large artificial trees that tower over the canopy of real trees and plants. Known as Supertrees they are lit up in various colors. An attempt to mimic the Northern Lights by the use of fog and lasers.

It’s interesting how much better sleep I’ve been getting away from our apartment in France. I’ve told my wife that we need to move. Something in that apartment affects my breathing such that I get about 1.5 hours less sleep per day. Sleep s just as important as diet and exercise. #BlackSkyFitness
The output of a sleep tracking app. It shows 8 hours of sleep the previous night. In addition it shows mostly green circles for the previous 7 days indicating that the user is mostly getting enough sleep each night.

While in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia I noticed these palm trees with red stalks. I don’t remember seeing these in others parts of my travels.

I thought Wicked the movie was based on Wicked the Broadway play, but TIL that both are based on Wicked the book by Gregory Maguire. And that he wrote several books in The Wicked Series.

I am about to read the book so that I can say afterwards, that the ___ was better than the ___ and the ___.
The original book cover of Wicked, The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Maguire. The image is a side profile of a witch in a big black hat that covers the top half of her face.

It is going to rain all day today. No rain, no rainbow.

I updated my daily Move to 1000cal. It shouldn’t be difficult to reach it on days I go to the gym. It’s off days where I’m going to have to do a good bit of walking to hit the number. #BlackSkyFitness #BlackSkyOver40
