COVID-19 medical discussion
I got injected with something as part of the Pfizer trial today. I feel fairly meh. Hoping that's a sign I didn't get the placebo, but who knows.

Alright, where did you find one and do they have another? I should add that I really love my XDM and am on the fence with a hellcat.

Jason Isbell, Sturgill Simpson, Chris Stapleton, and Other Good Stuff
I think the "problem" with some of these guys and their songs is that they get very specific in their writing. If the scenario they're talking about hits close to home, then it hits like a ton of bricks. If not, then it's good but not great. The transcendent songs don't need it to hit so close to home to leave that kind of impact. My example for WCG is "Still Think About You", which hits me hard, but I can see how it wouldn't move the meter for many other people.

The Alamo
Texas is a state of mind. Texas is an obsession. Above all, Texas is a nation in every sense of the word. And there’s an opening convey of generalities. A Texan outside of Texas is a foreigner.

Yep. Just get a half dome of the appropriate size. It will last longer than you want it probably.

The city of Lubbock has exactly 2 snow plows. Fun fact.

The 30 Hour Workweek
I have to be honest, some days I wish I was an operator. Maybe most days. Production engineer here, so my life is pretty okay, but I completely own my unit's problems. Maybe more than I should.

What are the most depressing songs you like?
You know, just the contribution from someone who has had to deal with a divorce, estranged dad nearly dying and such plus a bunch of the previous songs.

French Resistance
On the International Spy Museum's Podcast, they interviewed the author of "The Saboteur: The Aristocrat Who Became France's Most Daring Anti-Nazi Commando". I haven't read it, but added it to the reading list. Seems like an interesting read.

Madison, Wisconsin
Wisconsin drivers drive slow as hell and look at you like you're the asshole when you want to go 85. That's all I've got. They might not be wrong on the asshole front, but be warned.

Hey Steel Shank!
Jesus christ. Look I love that place and go about every other month, but that's like hipster steel shank, which is no steel shank at all.
