FYI gonna take a couple more days off, everybody.

I’ve been on the lake on a borrowed stand-up paddleboard several times this long vacation week, and loved it. This morning was perfect weather, compared with my first trip a few days ago when it was so windy. I’m a believer; ordered my own board today!

For lots of reasons we look forward to our first big monsoon storm of the year, and it arrived yesterday – a heavy hours-long rain that made this spray of daisies and other annual wildflowers even more brilliant.

Happy Friday. Listen to some fucking Japandroids. https://japandroids.com/

My school district has released its plan for the coming year and it includes a set of options that still need so much discussion and development. And in a sign of how impoverished we are for civic infrastructure, the town hall to discuss this plan will be held on … Facebook.

I hear it’s Micro.blog happy hour. Or, if it wasn’t, well it is now. This is Chateau Americana, a Trappist style pale ale from one of my town’s many fine microbreweries, Wanderlust Brewing Co.

Enjoying my coffee while finishing up some ink sampling. I love these oranges. I think the Noodler’s Habanero might be my favorite, but that Fuyu-gaki is lovely and vibrant.

I love the way the light falls in this corner of the living room.
