tracker7I mowed the front yard this morning, and in a sane world, that would be the whole of my labors today.
I'm watching the Indy Grand Prix, and the cars now have windshields. I am not used to seeing this, and according to the commentary, it helps the aerodynamics, it makes the cockpit really hot - like, 130F on the drivers. If this is an experiment for this season, I'm looking forward to the driver evaluations at the end of the year.
There was a long aerial shot of downtown Indy just now, and while cancelling GenCon this year was the right decision, I am going to miss seeing my convention family. Next year, next year.
I've joked about the perspective I have from being a long-haul trucker's kid - long(ish) distances really aren't anything to me, that "unless I cross two state lines and a time zone, I've just gone out for a gallon of milk." I think it's time I started applying that brag to seeing friends. Two hours or less from me? Let's get together for dinner and a game, once it's safe to do so.
