I like to study life, the universe and everything! I’ve got three kids and they come first. I love skiing and going to Jamaica. I love systems analysis and problem solving. Music and life are the same thing.
This is my most unlikely three yet. I think I’m into a rhythm of sorts with this game. Maybe I can have more 1-3 than 5-6. That would be something!

The answer is usually 42!

Getting a two is so damn lucky. It’s strangely the luckiest thing I’ve ever done. Three seems like a bit of skill, and certainly solving it in six or under continuously is skill, but two is just luck.

But, as my dad used to say, better lucky than good.

Yeah, buddy! I got me a Cadet!

I am very proud of this kid. He has big dreams of playing ball there, but mostly it’s just great to be able to go to a good school equidistant from his mom’s house and my house. The school is a good fit for him. He’s happy.

Time to get ready for Cadet basketball!

Had a good chance at another three, but I’ll never be upset with a four. No twos at all in this streak. It’s so tempting to think about “goals”, but that wouldn’t do me a bit of good.

Nines and threes are wild!

Interesting that wind, solar and nuclear are all producing around 3,000 TWh right now.

This image really does show how simple the whole thing is. Back in the early 90's when I started studying this, I never thought we would be at this point. I also didn't think we would be at 423PPM CO2.

I sort of stupidly like that my fives are catching my threes

I wake up, eat breakfast and listen to great music every day. Coffee, music and news. It’s a nice routine.

Had a good chance at two but got the three. I’ll take it.

Got to 93% on the board with this streak! Now I’d like to get to a true 93%. That won’t be for a week or so.

The threes have my attention. Could I catch my fours with my threes?

I used to get it in four all the time. It feels good to get it in four. It feels normal, which is definitely not how I feel about the world right now.

I remember seeing this striking album cover in my house when I was growing up in the 70’s. I bought the CD for $2 and am listening to it front to back for the first time. It’s damn interesting!

The three streak goes to eleven out of fourteen. This may be the luckiest one yet.

I just looked it up to find out that the ogre Daniel Snyder no longer owns the Commanders. Right after seeing that he is upset at their recent success they scored a TD. Go Commanders!

I honestly have no idea how I’m doing this. I’ve gotten it in three ten of the last thirteen tries. I did not think I would get it in three today, but I did.

It’s a weird Wordle world!

Another three as the streak continues. I’ve lost count of the threes but it’s about eight out of ten at this point.

One of the things I hate about Bluesky is that you can’t edit a comment at a later time.

I’ve had insomnia for a couple nights leading me to play the next day’s puzzle just after midnight.

I tied the fives with another three. I have a chance to get to respectability in this game. It will take a while, one day at a time. Such is life.

At my hundredth game I’m on a thirty game streak. The eight I missed to get to this point would be largely eliminated had I played at this level all along. I’ll miss at some point, but right now I feel strong.

Nines are wild and I score another three! It would be fun to have a streak go a full month. Almost got a two, but the three streak feels good.

This is a saiga antelope.

There are 1.3M of these roaming the Central Asian steppes. Traditional Asian medicine poaches their horns.

Dumb fucks.

This herd animal is vital for the health of millions of acres of grassland in Kazakhstan. I’m surprised Borat didn’t comment on them.

Very nice!
