Thursday miscellanea #497

Palm is back, with a phone for your phone. Now I would love a smartphone that ran a modern PalmOS, but this just seems silly.
I’ve been wandering since I finished The Americans. I watched the first Narcos, but it was just OK. I’ve watched the first two Sneaky Petes. I may stay with that one.
I’d never done any brake work myself before last night. I replaced the front pads and rotors on Lea’s van and saved us most of $200, best I can tell. Took me two hours, but it’ll only take me one next time.
Area chronicler and raconteur Kelly Kazek has written a piece documenting that some people find “ma’am” and “sir” offensive. These some people are ridiculous and wrong, and should not be indulged in this nonsense whatsoever.
Argued with Sebastian Bach a little bit on Twitter this week about whether the current Kiss tour is fraudulent. (Of course it is, but he didn’t see it that way.)
My first IndyCar race with the no-longer-Verizon-exclusive app and NBC Sports Gold was pretty great. Congratulations to Josef Newgarden on a great drive at St. Petersburg.
Briefly chilly again behind this stormy Thursday. May flirt with a freeze before warming back up. It is still March, kids.
