Today’s Quote:
Questions are a burden to others; answers a prison for oneself.

Got both cars emissions tested so I can renew my plates. Both passed. Got home and wrote a big fat check to the BMV to get my plates renewed. So now everything is ducky.
Andy Sylvester has a River of Reading I think you will Like
I’m putting in a good word for Andy Sylvester’s Reading List which is a “river” of RSS feeds And...Gulf of Many Names
First time I changed my main blog theme in years. Changed to the “Ink” theme which has links that really stand out in a different color which I like. I might try others but first I’ll try this one for a few days. There are so many good themes it’s hard to chose.
They all float down here.
Republicans want to put Trump’s ugly mug on Mount Rushmore. Can we just make the face out of fiberglass and bolt it on? That would save a lot of money. I thought Trump was supposed to save the government money? This reminds me of Chairman Mao and cult of personality.
This might tie Musk up for awhile trying to come up with a plausible explanation for what happened to the dosh, that will fly with investors.
Are we sure that Trump is not an escaped huge umpa loompa?
We’ve been wondering what happened to the Epstein Files. Mass cover-up?
No I did not find any political/politics webrings when I looked.
Now is the time of monsters.

One thing I prefer on websites is for the linked text to really stand out. I want it to be obvious compared to the regular text. I just rejected a theme which looked really good but you could only just barely see the linked text.
I just saw a minimalist blog theme named “Plain HTML” and it is, down to the black Times New Roman type on white background, blue links that change to purpleish once you have visited. This is fantastically good, the way the Web was when I got my first dialup connection.
I liked Mozilla better when they had a dragon/monster as a logo/mascot. Just saying.

I really like Paper Mate Sharpwriter #2 mechanical pencils. Disposable so it’s not the end of the world if you lose it. No sharpener needed. Okay that’s enough stationary and pen porn for one day.
Cool, there is going to be a grassy knoll float in the parade.
I’ve grown to like Markdown for writing blog posts. The one limitation I see is the lack of a strike-through. Strike through is often very useful in getting just the right amount of snark in a post.
Every year, back comes Spring, with nasty little birds yapping their fool heads off and the ground all mucked up with plants.

AP says Amtrak CEO abruptly resigns from the nation’s passenger railroad
In other news: I see AP is now showing ads asking for donations to keep AP reporting the news. This is how far we have sunk.
I’m hearing giant snails are invading New York City. I’m trying to see the down side.
