Who would have thought a year ago that I would be married today and that my wife and I would own our home?
We just paid the first mortgage payment and there is a weird feeling of joy.
That rather than paying rent to someone, I am paying on my own property.
Sort of liberating.
One of my favorites, to be sure.
A new species of ancient beaver that was rediscovered by researchers in The University of Texas at Austin’s fossil collections has been named after Buc-ee’s, a Texas-based chain of popular travel centers known for its cartoon beaver mascot.
Today, I thought I would just do a quick dump of the news stories I found interesting and added via Instapaper.
Coffee and lower prostate cancer
US West pollution was mostly caused by wildfires. Shocking. I know.
Exawatt class lasers – I picked this story because it has the word laser in it. Duh.
This is a small fraction of what I read but they are good stories, nevertheless.
Well,
This week was not as bad as the previous week. There were still issues. Overall, no one got hurt.
Now…for the general news.
I was able to finish a big project for a friend of mine. This wasn’t incredibly complicated but part of it took a whole bunch of time.
Remarkably enough, it is NOT a good pool day. Pool water is kind of cold and it is overcast.
I still have some remaining tasks left as far as pointing my other websites over here. I’d like to keep the idea of posting the book I am currently listening to but I want a way to do it that is more transportable than a WordPress Plugin that adds to a database and doesn’t move with the website.
My domestic Saturday list has been completed.
Did I mention it was not a good pool day?
Update: I was able to get about 2 hours of good pool time today. Unfortunately, I’ve learned of two deaths that were announced while I was in the pool. Regis Philbin and Peter Green (co-founder of Fleetwood Mac) both passed away today.
