Thursday miscellanea #623

  • I enjoyed Better Call Saul, but only rarely over its run did I find it as engaging as Breaking Bad. I’ve been back through Breaking Bad, methodically and completely, twice, and have enjoyed it as background probably another complete viewing’s worth. I doubt I’ll ever watch Better Call Saul again.
  • Now I’m waiting for Animal Kingdom to wrap, and it’s about to. It’s a bag of Cheetos to Breaking Bad‘s steak, but I still want to finish it. (And they’re really good Cheetos.)
  • I missed that Tom Bearden died in February. He was quite a character. I wrote about him once on BoWilliams.com. God be with his family and friends.
  • We visited the Salt Factory Pub last night for dinner with friends. The company was excellent, the service was within tolerance, and I wish I’d found the food more notable. I had salmon, and we shared some Cajun egg rolls and fried calamari for appetizers. I thought my fillet was a little small for the money, but the quality was fine. I could eat there again. But the bar keeps getting higher around here, and in case you haven’t noticed, the average dinner check has shot up a lot. Just “fine” or “OK” doesn’t cut it anymore.
  • The SSD in Aaron’s two-year-old laptop is failing. I’m not impressed. The speed advantage over and lower power consumption than old-fashioned platters make them worth it and I get that, but in my experience the supposed edge in reliability isn’t there.
  • The last oval of the season is scheduled for 5 pm on Saturday at World Wide Technology Raceway (aka “Gateway”). It’s usually a pretty good race. Stay away rain!
  • No 90s are forecast through the end of the month. Enjoy.
