I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Well, that sucks, Gud. I guess it's good that you could swap out the hard drives and not lose data, but it'll be a nuisance to deal with.

One of my coworkers ordered a 20-lot of eclipse glasses on Amazon for her 4-person family and shared the extras around the office. I got a pair from her. I'm sure that Monday everyone will be out in the quad trying to get good sight-lines. Things are looking up for the local forecast, too.

And hey, eclipses foretell the fall of rulers, so we can be hopeful on that front, too.

Well, I'd been thinking of upgrading my computer anyhow. One of the reasons I was thinking about it was some odd instability issues, so I kinda knew it was coming. I do a daily backup so data loss isn't much of an issue. Important stuff gets backed up immediately.

That reminds me that I need to write my congressperson and demand the impeachment of Trump. It won't do any good, but, you know, the damage he's doing is getting so damn big.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I continue to be surprised that my mother doesn't object to what I'm doing with my hair.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Don't mothers usually object to whatever you're doing with your hair?

Not mine, apparently!

I think what you are doing with your hair is awesome. My total lack of knowledge about your hair should in no way undermine that statement.

My hair is pretty awesome.

Bad: I had a different physical therapist yesterday who had me do different exercises, and today my quads are crying for mercy.

Good: Just put on the first episode of The Defenders. I hope Jessica Jones sneers at everyone a lot.
