The cognitive dissonance in my chats and inbox between the business-as-usual automated emails and case nightmare green messaging from people fighting dead systems all night long.

Oh, the waterfall is back . . .

When the bands of ran went through a little earlier today, with the curtains drawn, the thought that entered my head was something like:
"How lovely it sounds in my secret lair UNDER the waterfall."
Except I'm in Virginia Beach. And on one of the highest points of land with houses on it (which my watch kindly suggests in 9 m under sea level).

Whatever algorithm is creating the playlist today seems to want emphasize the bit where I'm home alone working.
Yes, I know I'm home alone working, you don't need to remind me.

Realized I had left a cookie on the top.of the espresso machine. It had been there about 8 hours. I ate it. It was a somewhat pleasant surprise.

Small crowd this year. The last of the cars just cleared the street.

I'm a mile from one of the city fireworks displays, but because of the trees and I can't see anything. The fun always starts after the show, when we get to bet on how long traffic will be stuck behind the house. The record is about 12:47.

So, how is everyone's Friday going so far?

Yesterday's Coffee Cup.

While getting things going this morning, I ran into the coffee cup I left out yesterday. The phase Yesterday's Coffee Cup hit my head and I couldn't help but think that would have been a perfect name for a band, album or title of a song in the 90s.
Actually a little disappointed I didn't find anything.
Happy Friday. May today's coffee be better than yesterday's, or at least better than what was left in the bottom of the cup from yesterday.

I am getting to the part of this Monday where I realize I am the only one on this away mission wearing a red shirt.

Mac & cheese & chicken & peas.

Tonight we eat like 3 year old kings!

Over on the birdsite hellscape, suddenly I'm getting a lot of Dem aligned ads.
This after weeks of the most horrible ads I've ever seen. Don't know if this is from today's happy news or the near 100% blocks.
Now if the reasons for Twitter would just move to a better platform so I could kill my account.

😀

Sitting here realizing the way I mostly navigate my hard drive on Windows anymore is "show in system explorer' in either Github Desktop or Obsidian.
Don't know why that amuses me.

Happy Friday!

Having one of those days where the only way one knows the sun has set is the light that turns on at sunset turned on.
