Thursday miscellanea #393

Need something fun and free to do with the upcoming beautiful Sunday afternoon? Come to the Village of Providence Car Show! Looks like the biggest one yet, and there are always all kinds of cars for all kinds of tastes.
I love gorging on seafood when we go to the beach, but I’m definitely fine without it for a week or so after we get back.
Blade Runner 2049 is scheduled to be released one year from today. I hope it’s amazing. If it’s not, I shall cheerfully ignore it. (See also: Matrix sequels.)

It’s official: Josef Newgarden will drive for Team Penske in 2017. Pulling for a Penske driver will be a new thing for me, but I think I can do it. Congratulations, man!
Thoughts and prayers with everyone dealing with Hurricane Matthew right now. It’s a nasty one.
