We rambled around Kohler-Andrae State Park a week and a half ago and it was very pretty.

I made a salad for my lunch. Please clap.

I want to EAT a salad, but don't want to MAKE a salad.

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

I put these up on IG, but want to share them here because this space is so very Gilded Age. The Grain Exchange had the 1st Trading Pit which became a model for others. It's now an event venue.

I'm officially done at *check notes* 61% read!

That's a lot of citations!
Yay! Five of my pre-ordered books came out today.

Boo! I'm reading a huge* book about Soviet dissidents for book club on next Monday! Woe!

*My Kindle says I'm at 51% read, but I checked the page count and there's, like, 150 pages of citations. I think I'm actually 75-80% done.

Hey @neurosismancer.gay The Kid tattooed an Energy Dome on the sound guy for Devo and the Deftones at Shaky Knees in Atlanta yesterday. He also took this picture.

My bookclub has a spinoff book and I'm waffling on reading it.

"To the Success of Our Hopeless Cause: The Many Lives of the Soviet Dissident Movement" is 794 pages long (150 pages are citations per the organizer). I have to be done by Oct 6. I can do that, but....😬

Civilization
Castle of the Winds - just the graphics, don't make it a FPS. Actually, could it just run on the current version of Windows? I found it so relaxing to play. It can stay pixilated.

I've had the kind of day where I grumble my way through packing a lunch salad and leave the tomatoes and dressing at home. However, I did manage to pack the empty containers!

Lunch was cheddar Goldfish crackers and Colby/Cheddar cheese. Thank goodness past me planned for a lunchless future me.
