Strange World was fun. The family dynamics were amusing and wholesome despite the inevitable generational friction, and true to its name, the setting was really unique and cool.

Three and a half hours until midnight, and people are already setting off fireworks in the distance. Weird and a little annoying.

After last week's arctic blast and a nice white Christmas, we're closing out 2022 in Spokane with temperatures well above freezing and so much rain. Flooding is going to be a real issue.

Top Gun: Maverick was pretty entertaining. I'm glad Val Kilmer was still able to participate in spite of his real-life health issues.

Survived my last-minute errands drive into town today. Had to pull over a couple of minutes into the drive to scrape the ice off because my windshield wipers and defrost couldn't keep up with the freezing rain at first. Rest of the trip was uneventful and thankfully, traffic was lighter than usual.

Busy day with the family! Entertained the cousins for a while in the middle of the day, and we've still got to prep for tomorrow's Christmas Eve gathering with most of my wife's side of the family.

Looks like it's -12° F outside right now and windchill brings it closer to -20° F for any exposed humans. Very happy to be working from home today.

Got in a solid half hour of indoor cycling after work for the second day in a row. Felt pretty good and got a good sweat going.

Family is off running some errands this afternoon. Super weird to be at home all by myself for a change.

Twitter is now banning links to virtually all social media. What a complete and utter meltdown from Elmo.

Time to work on the front gutter again. The heating cable I ordered arrived yesterday.

I hope we start seeing major media outlets running their own Mastodon instances for their journalists.

I am curious to see how the lighting works at night. It doesn't look like it has light poles, so I guess it's integrated into the railing?

Rebuilt Don Kardong Bridge near Gonzaga, Riverfront Park reopens Friday for Centennial Trail users
I'm simultaneously really happy that the Don Kardong bridge has been renovated and sad that it's lost the purely decorative triangle trusses that previously gave it so much character. It feels purely utilitarian now, which is just kind of a bummer.📺 DEC 16 2022 14:45
I need to get caught up on Mythic Quest season 3. On a tangential note, I really need to maintain a list of shows/movies I'd like to watch in the near future. I waste way too much time deciding what I want to watch when I actually have time to watch something.
