Thursday miscellanea #448

Decided to base my Monday morning go-to-work decision on whether it looked likely I’d be involuntarily out Tuesday. I said it did, so I worked Monday, and took the holiday time Tuesday. Had enough to do remotely yesterday that I’m not all that behind. I love it when a plan comes together.
The boys are going to end up with a one-day week. Theirs was one of the few school systems still out today, instead of delayed. (Sounds less ridiculous when you consider that Ardmore is also included in “Limestone County Schools.”)
Our low for the entire weather event was 6.6º F. That’s as cold as I can recall it ever being here, at this house, since we moved in 17 years ago.
I remember telling you I was going to start Ozark. When was that? Oh, I see it was only about five months ago. Well, I didn’t, but I really am watching it now. I’m making friends with the treadmill, and compelling episodic television is about the best treadmill companion there is. Maybe I’ll even try something longer after I’m done with this (it’s only ten episodes so far).
Danica Patrick’s retirement plan is to run this year’s Daytona 500 and Indianapolis 500, and the hard part of the puzzle just fell into place. GoDaddy has announced it will sponsor her for both races. Finding a seat for her will be easy now. (Not that it was ever going to be particularly difficult.)
Now that I have saved a little bit of money for a laptop, I’m not sure I want to turn loose of it for that. Funny how that works. I’m still running this netbook with Lubuntu on it, and it’s a little slow, but it works fine. (And it actually has me thinking I may want to stay with Linux for a mobile rig. Repurposing a decent Chromebook is an intriguing option for such.)
Catch Arrival while it is available on Amazon Prime. Marvelously thoughtful and profound science fiction. Saintseester told me I would enjoy it. She was right.
