Oh, the wind and the rain…

This morning I was running for the bus and the driver saw me down a side street and kindly stopped and waited for me. Thank you, operator!

Solstice at last, now the long wait for Spring 🌞

Had to spend most of yesterday being the grumpy old developer who says “I don’t think you did quite enough testing before that merge…”

I didn’t get to “vote” but not only should that guy not run the bird app, he shouldn’t own it or any other company.

Cleaning day 🧹🏠

Only two weeks until the Dark Sky app stops working, making a valuable spot available on my first home screen. I don’t yet know what I will move there…

At least it’s not snow ☔️

Ordered four more Covid tests from USPS, available again today.

This has been a week and it’s not even Friday yet.

With the Discovery Channel takeover at HBO, most of the SF shows I was watching are now gone. Time to catch up with the few remaining and cancel.
