Super-fast, super-cheap, super-good. I even chatted with the cook about comic books.
I do love this little Southern city.
Update — tried to befriend a feisty sparrow on the way home today. But they’re fickle about who they mix with.
Everyone: “34”
Gen X: “In a row?”

So I finally located that cache of shorts in storage that I was looking for. Now I can finally dress for the hot weather. Sorry about my blinding white legs, Roanoke.
How white are they? Let’s just say I hope you didn’t throw out your eclipse-viewing glasses.
I shared a meme about “Highlander” (1986) on Tuesday, and my girlfriend told me that she had never seen the movie. I conscientiously informed her that is absolutely the greatest film ever made.
Okay … it isn’t exactly the greatest film ever made. Among other things, it portrays an Egyptian (Sean Connery) with a Scottish accent and a Scotsman (Christopher Lambert) who has a … French accent?
It’s still a damned enjoyable movie though. (And it is sacred amongst a lot of 80’s kids, including me.) Hell, I might have to watch it again just for the wicked-cool establishing shots of 1980’s New York.

Shirley Jackson’s response to a critic is peach perfect.

Pro tip — if you clean your house without your glasses on, it takes half the time, because most stuff looks clean enough already.
I swear this works.
Again the skies incur my spite —
I still can’t see the northern lights!
Damn the sparing heavens and their promises of green!
First a hidden eclipse and now the northern lights unseen!

Pro tip — if you missed the opportunity to celebrate “Star Wars” Day yesterday, May 5th is Cinco de Cryo.
