Thursday miscellanea #479

  • There is apparently an insidious and ubiquitous song about baby sharks. I’ve never heard it.
  • For all of the joking I do about such things, I actually did damage my entire week on Monday morning with a stupid mistake. I’m back to about 80% now. It’s been an important opportunity for reflection. As much progress as I’ve made, I’ve still got considerable work to do on choosing my reaction. I’ll blog about it after it fades a little more.
  • All of our vehicles are now caught up on recalls stemming from the Takata airbag debacle. My visit to the Nissan dealership was mostly satisfactory, though there are now fresh, avoidable, small-but-noticeable wounds on my interior trim. My car is a ten-year-old Versa so I’m not terribly bothered, but we’d be having an unpleasant conversation over a two-year-old Maxima.
  • I’ve no idea why, but Amazon and Facebook have decided that the inline ad for me is “bone expander kit for dental implantologists.”
  • Remember when Florida-Tennessee was the big game of the early season? Funny thing is, it still might be the closest SEC game Saturday…
  • As of early this week, I’ve gotten all of the prizes there are to get in my wellness program for the year. Guess I’ll be unhealthy until the new year starts! Ha, ha!
  • A colleague told me last week that Mango’s has moved out of its horribly awkward east-facing plaza location near Five Guys and into the old Beauregard’s location, next to GigaParts. (And there’s a lunch buffet!) Definitely I’ll check that out soon.
