Had a video call with a company SVP who had unexpected positive things to say about me. A pleasant surprise to tee me up for the weekend.

Spent the evening talking to a gentleman who I thought was a normie ("Those damn Democrats") but who then told me his favorite part of history was understanding the German perspective on WWII.
I don't know what's going on anymore.

A good root beer and a cigar are an underrated combination.

I got the talk that everyone is an individual and you can't judge someone like Kamala Harris because she's a black woman. I didn't even ask. I stared intently and sipped my beer and let out a grunt now and again.

2024-08-02 19:52:39

The view from my table right now. Got talked at by super boomer (a stranger) for an hour but I hid my power level and I’m at peace again.

Weather is always a concern here. It'd be good for May through maybe the first part of October. In the neighborhood where I grew up, which was built in the 50s, lots of houses had clothes lines in the back yard. I don't see that much anymore.

I started coughing a bit a few weeks ago, and after a little reading, I decided I had allergies. I started taking loratadine, which is an antihistamine and hence anti inflammatory. It’s been two weeks, and now the joint pain I’ve had is very reduced, and my stomach has been behaving more normally. I also feel like the fatigue and brain fog I’ve had has been reduced. I thought all of those things were symptoms of being older, but now I’m starting to think I have some autoimmune problem, albeit relatively mild.
