Thursday miscellanea #570

• This already-historic presidency now holds another distinction: Donald Trump is the first President of the United States to be impeached twice. Kids, if you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything.
• Huntsville has won the competition to be the home of Space Command headquarters. This is excellent news, though there is grousing.
• Congratulations to the Alabama Crimson Tide football team on its 18th national championship! With the outcome of the game never being in doubt past the middle of the second quarter, it was even relaxing. Over the past 12 seasons, Alabama has won half of the national titles. We are currently enjoying the greatest college football dynasty ever, and it’s not close.
• I was pumped about the third season of Cobra Kai, and I watched the first episode within a day or two of its release, but I haven’t been back to it. I binged the first two seasons in a day and a half. Maybe I don’t want to watch it any other way.
• I had a marvelous Zoom call with my old friend and first technical writing boss Amy last night. We hadn’t spoken in far too long. I told her I thought frequently of getting some nice paper and composing a handwritten letter to her, then laughed at such a thought considering how quickly my hand hurt today when I had to handwrite something much shorter.
• With the rescheduling of St. Petersburg, the IndyCar season opener is now the Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama at Barber Motorsports Park!
• We’re supposed to flirt with 60 ºF next week, though in conjunction with rain. Then, snow is back in the forecast the following week.
