This is a road called Tongtian Avenue in China. It randomly popped up as my desktop wallpaper today. I get real Death Stranding feels out of this, heh.

Time for a book recommendation:
If I was actively participating in one of these "20 books" challenges, this would be in the top ten. I'm not sure I can do this book justice, honestly. Kurt Vonnegut wrote a forward to later editions. Trust him if you don't trust me, or just Google for "Dorkey Day".

Looking back to when I tore a muscle in my shoulder/arm and spent a frikken year getting over, I can say, "I feel you, Sister."
I wish that was likely to help you, LOL.

Talking about books - Project Hail Mary is a sci-fi novel by Andy Weir, author of The Martian. A man wakes up from a coma with amnesia and learns he is on mission to save Earth. Then an ET arrives. What now?
I've read it at least eight times. A film is in the works. Give it a shot.

Speaking of pasties -- if you haven't seen Flesh Gordon, you really should. There are cuts available with most of the porn edited out, which turns it into a surprisingly amusing R/PG-13 parody movie along the lines of Hardware Wars. 67% Rotten Tomatos may not sound like much but, you know, porn film

Feeling under the weather today. Fortunately, there is coffee. Yeah, the Bambino Plus ran me $300. Worth it, especially today. I do still have my Keurig 2.0. Even pushbutton espresso is still coffee you work for. Sometimes I just want Coffee Now. Pro tip - steamed milk won't cool your oatmeal.

Yeah, that's not the original version of that picture. Someone photoshopped it. Orig: thebiblerevival.com/clipart/pete...
Run through Google Lens, I get 54, and only two have the cross. Someone had to cherry pick this to try and make it into a meme.

Today's Book Recommendation - Tales From the Radiation Age, written by Jason Sheehan
On one hand, it's absurdist adventure. OTOH, it's commentary on the fallout of everyone free to be as wonderful or terrible as they desire. Imagine TV show 'Fringe' after they failed to save the world.
