Everything is horrible but today I discovered the gas station milkshake. There's a freezer full of these cups, you pick your flavor, put it in a special machine and then you have a pretty good milkshake

I leave on an international business trip tomorrow. I wasn't going to take pics of my sign or the protest I am going to because I didn't want them on my phone on my way back in. But fuck that. I am an American and I have the right to free speech and freedom of assembly

Made me think of one of my favorite pieces of art in my house, bought for small enough $ that I could do it on a whim while having a soli beer and dinner while on a business trip to Santa Cruz. Saw the art, got the artist's email, arranged to take delivery at my hotel before I left the next day

Then I wandered through the galleries at the Timken - a small but excellent (and free!) art museum and finished with an ice tea from Panama 66 while I waited for the bells at noon

Had a lovely morning in Balboa Park. The rose garden is in bloom, there was a food festival at the international houses (the House of Turkiye allowed me to indulge my love of potato fried in dough - I don't know what phyllo rolls filled with seasoned potatoes are called but they were delicious!)

I had lunch with a friend today and we went looking for transgender mouse memes and there aren't many yet. People need to get busy. This was the best we found

I was glad to see that my textbook from the time I had to take biochemistry with med students confirmed I was right in the basics - cyanide keeps oxygen from binding to the heme in cytochrome

Never really could explain why I felt I should keep my textbooks but I use them more than I thought I would to refresh my memory so I can explain something to one of my kids

It is hot here today so I took refuge for awhile in the Timken, a small art gallery that is free. They have a Kehinde Wiley portrait on display. It is displayed next to examples from some older great portrait painters, Ruebens and Rembrandt
