"The city orbits around eight million centers of the Universe,
And turns about the golden clock at the still point of this place.
Lift up your eyes from the moving hive and you will see
time circling under a vault of stars,
And know just when and where you are."
Grand Central by Billy Collins
And turns about the golden clock at the still point of this place.

It's been one hell of a ride, but after over 7-1/2 years my time at HashiCorp has come to an end. I have one week of well-earned time off; tune in on December 15th to hear about my next career adventure.

Since others have already mentioned Flagpole Sitta by Harvey Danger (and I am that one person who loves their entire catalog) I’ll submit the one hit from this criminally underrated album

This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

I often contemplate that the majority of land in the City of Ypsilanti, and the default if the city ever acquires more land, is R1 (single-family residential), and changing that would likely be a miracle.
City: We unanimously declare a climate emergency! We must make change no matter what the cost, humanity's survival depends on it!
Community: Can we put in a protected bike lane to get more people cycling.
City: No, we'll lose parking spots.

In the early 2000s I lived in Ames, Iowa, when the first (US or North American, I can’t remember exactly which) Barilla pasta factory opened on the edge of town.
I always bought Barilla pasta, support the local economy and all that.

My second favorite way to have pork, after a BLT:
Melt a stick of butter, put some herbs in it. Split a loaf of Italian bread lengthwise, put it cut side up in a baking dish.

I just made my most dad-coded midnight snack: braunschweiger[1] spread on a stalk of celery and some ranch dip on top.
[1] I haven’t had this in maybe two decades but suddenly craved it and made it for Thanksgiving.
