Oh Laura. I'm so sorry.
Sheryl, I'm sorry that Mr. S.' birthday ended in the ER.
Much ~ma and health to all.
Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...

Coding and Sleeping
We have a new dog. He's a coonhound named 'Benzo'. Not sure if he's going to work out or not. He's really afraid of everything which is making training difficult. We're still in the shelter's trial period so we'll see how it goes.
Nothing really interesting going on otherwise. Saw Pacific Rim for the first time over the weekend and I found it really entertaining, just a slick, fun movie that doesn't take itself too seriously. I also got a chance to take a look at a Ford Maverick (literally just a look at one, not get in it) and it seems like the bed is big enough to be a useful little truck. The backseat looks tighter than I'd like, though I didn't get a good look at the interior. Might see if I can manage a test drive at some point and look into ordering one if I like it.
Still finding politics pretty depressing, especially SCOTUS.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Beware the turn radius. My C-Max has a 19'3" turn radius, and it can be difficult to get into a parking space.
test drive
Go for it! Could be fun, and doesn't commit you to anything

I love Pacific Rim. It's one of my comfort movies.

I still haven't seen Pacific Rim. One of these days.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Thanks to Tom Scola, whenever I wonder what to have for lunch, I realize the answer is burrito. Sadly, I almost never have a burrito.
Today I went with greek salad instead of the free ice cream available to me. It is too hot to wait in line!

I made JZ a greek salad for lunch yesterday, augmented with leftovers from the Greek restaurant we went to over the weekend, so Tiropita (baked filo triangles with cheese inside) and some fancy Greek dips (one Feta & Cream cheese, and one made with fish roe that was basically a little umami bomb).
