Life is like a game of chess; I don’t know how to play chess. I'm a blubberous, verbose, and regimented old man from the US.
Oh good, my package's gone **back** to Indianapolis. Thanks, USPS.

I was Onewheeling just outside the south end of town, in the new developments, when I saw this. The GTA/Tony Hawk part of my brain almost took over!

Reminds me of this favorite @adamtots.bsky.social comic; Arthur should collab!

Huh.

I replaced an online BBC source (two URLS, live & archived) with a slightly better offline physical-newspaper source, and updated the prose with the new information…

Yet, the whole edit was a net zero bytes. A perfect one-for-one with absolutely no size change. #whataretheodds #Wikipedia

I'm happy to oblige! My back went out on Saturday, so this is the best I could do for lunch, today.

I went on a sixteen-day road trip (see attached) to get an autograph from Robert Beltran and order a pair of $750 boots from Nicks Handmade Boots. I arrived home yesterday, only to go on a 150-minute round trip doctor's appointment today. I'm 110 percent knackered.

Should I be concerned that my elevator hasn't been inspected in 109.49 years and 2605 miles‽

@tombrazelton.bsky.social As I recall, these're your stomping grounds. @librophilia.bsky.social and I're just here for the night on a road trip out west, but I took a minute to wave in every direction to say "hi!" We hope you and yours are doing as well as can be.

Oh, you're very welcome, but it's probably not a good idea to encourage me. #LLAP

Just for funsies, here're my top recognized results if I limit them to "All Prestige TV" (85% match), "All Comedy" (86%), "All Classic literature" (67%; I'm not well-read), and *Star Wars* (87%).

Skipping those I didn't know, my top four were all eighty-nine percent matches. Three are doctors and two are artificial life forms; an interesting combination of I do say so.

I went to a cat café in Wellington last week and picked up a new pin while I was there.

One bummed ride and two rideshares later… choo choo. Just one more rideshare, one hotel shuttle, and four flights to go!
