Public transit should be improved to the point where you can get from any point A in a metropolitan area to any point B in a reasonable amount of time without being forced to drive anywhere.

#Epiphone Dot Deluxe Flametop + #StewMac Parsons Street pickups + #Stringjoy Signature 11-50 strings = blues tone for days. Easily the nicest-looking guitar I’ve ever owned. It sounds just as good as it looks.

If in a country there are more people involved in denying people healthcare than there are in providing healthcare, there is something fundamentally wrong with that country.

Saying “going a mile a minute” to mean very fast is dated. That’s only 60 MPH, less than the interstate speed limit in most states. (I guess it made sense when the fastest way to get from point A to point B was a train pulled by a steam locomotive.)

I grossly overestimated the amount of traffic there’d be on the road this morning. Got to work 40 minutes early.

Personally, I think all systems of religious and spiritual belief are absurd and I’m not obligated to respect any of them.
But that’s just me. Nobody, and I repeat, *nobody* deserves to be persecuted for their religious beliefs (like what the US government has been doing to Muslims since 9/11).

I used to kid around and say don’t eat too much turkey. But the way I see it now, Thanksgiving only comes once a year, so eat as much turkey as you want! 🦃
Have a happy and healthy #Thanksgiving, everyone.

Decided to make the GUI version of my #Java Lights Out clone #accessible as well. It now has a toggle-able monochrome mode.

One of my #Java projects is a terminal-mode clone of the old Tiger Electronics "Lights Out 2000" puzzle game. It depends on red and green lights, which I later realized would present a problem to color-blind players. So I made the game more #accessible and added a monochrome mode.

I've said this before, but it's definitely worth repeating...

Downside: When I moved, I had to leave my model trains behind.
Upside: The largest model train display in the US is right up the road from my new place.

I find it ironic that despite the word "vanilla" having come to refer to something that's plain and not fancy, vanilla is the second-most expensive flavoring on the planet. (Saffron is the most expensive.)

I have to say, Branchburg’s tap water is pretty good. North Brunswick’s tasted like it came out of a YMCA pool!

I’d like to give a heartfelt thanks to every veteran who fought for my right to complain about the government as much as I do. (Given the current regime, those complaints are 100% warranted.)
Thank you all for your service.

My new place has wood flooring, as opposed to the carpet I had in the old house. This means better acoustics… musician’s delight. Time to disturb the neighbors! 🎸 🎶
