These days, the main things that I'm spending time on are programming, Tai Chi, and Nei Gong.

Attentive dogs.
It’s a little weird that the different United credit cards don’t give monotonically increasing benefits.
The story behind Amazing Grace (or at least a version of that story, e.g. as Arlo Guthrie tells it) is maybe a good metaphor for a positive vision of America.
Some days I wouldn’t mind having a Tom Lehrer song as an ear worm. A bit grim today, though…
Got woken up by this earthquake: https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/nc75337442/executive Didn’t feel strong enough to be scary.
We have a hummingbird nesting in our back yard! Also, it’s not clear from this picture but hummingbird nests are quite small.
I do like the Chuck Klosterman episodes of the Bill Simmons podcast.
So TSA agents are still at the scanner machines (while ICE agents are helping people get the bags onto trays efficiently) but ICE agents are actually speeding up the process as a whole, I’m fairly sure.
Just went through security at IAH; at first I was unimpressed by seeing groups of ICE agents standing around near the security line doing nothing, but when I made it further some are actually at the check ID / boarding pass stations.
I’m not used to Zelda dungeons being constructed quite like Jabu-Jabu in Ocarina.
