at best, bleak
Recce’d the Hebden 15 today. Still undecided whether to do the 22 or the 15 in two weeks time. Legs, hips, back appeared to stand up to this after 6 months of trouble, though the true test is what they feel like tomorrow morning.

Just finished on audible, after the book featured in @samfr.bsky.social’s recommendations for last year. And I really enjoyed it. Shocked, shocked to find the version of the Iliad I had as a kid… was not this story. I’m very glad I got this one on audiobook, and the voice actor is terrific.

Farewell 2024, a truly terrible year. I started it driving back from visiting my sister in the hospital in torrential rain and very literal floods. I miss her terribly. Here’s to a cancer-free 2025, with as much sun and outdoorsyness as possible.

If you don’t want employer and inheritance tax rises in an aging nation that is definitely not going to give up free healthcare and state pensions, then you need to work to make income tax rises more politically palatable.

Yeah, I don’t think DC’s argument has the premise about sims creating simulations that you mention as a worry. Here’s his first pass version for illustration.

Snow is happening. Snow is locally instantiated. Being snowy obtains.

Summit marshal for Harriers vs Cyclists. No pictures of harriers or cyclists because I was doing my job, but lovely day for it.

The European mind cannot comprehend American portion sizes (I am not eating again for the next 48 hours).

Clear sky! Northern lights!

Northern lights (ok, eery glow) yesterday evening. Sad lack of armoured polar bears striding through from another world.
