Father of kids that somehow turned out great. History buff, Chargers fan and Padres fan (so comfortable with tragedy). Occasionally lifts heavy metal objects, heavy being a relative term.

For work I do software, but old school desktop/DB type stuff.
I saw this woman in a walking boot working out at the gym. I mean if I have a hangnail I am skipping leg day.

Told a young woman her front passenger side tire was very low on air, so think I have achieved peak boomer. In my defense her tire was really low and it worried me.

I was married but I’m not married any more. Women don’t like the vehicle.

When my daughter was in college she volunteered at a suicide hotline. Then she worked at Americorp teaching reading at an under resourced school. Now she is a school psych at a bilingual school that is losing mental health grants. This administration has cut everything she has worked for.

It’s 9am TFT time here, and citizens are already gathering to protest Tariffs by the United States. Our plain clothes Officer Penguins are attempting to maintain calm, but unfortunately we keep losing them in the crowd.

@alanallport.bsky.social Britain at Bay finally popped to the top of my read stack. Excellent writing and analysis; I particularly enjoyed the first chapters. The background on the Arab revolt was eye opening for me. The context on Munich has me rethinking Chamberlain.

My sister loves plants and growing things. I am a history buff, particularly wwii. I found her a book on botanists in Leningrad saving seeds while besieged by the Nazis; it was the crossover story I was not expecting.
