If anyone out there is running a Meshtastic node, here's a QR for my channel. I'm testing a new install, trying to decide whether to add another node somewhere in my area to expand the mesh. If you can see this, say hello....

40 years ago this morning, I was 12 years old and sitting in front of my grandmother's TV. We had a snow day off school, and I was so excited that I got to watch the Shuttle take off.

That morning was, in many ways, my first experience with tragedy. I'd dealt with loss & grief. But this was bigger than that in ways that I didn't have words for. I can still remember the numbness and shock, how it felt in 12-year-old me.

Looking to grab food in the Zurich airport to eat at gate, saw a takeaway sushi place.

First roll I saw was an “Italian” roll that has freaking parsley on the outside of it.

Uh. I’ll pass. WTF Zurich?

Have not been overly impressed with the food in Geneva, with the exception of anything containing butterfat.
