Whew. Between two meetings, a job assessment a sudden aurora and an early bedtime for another meeting in the morning, I've gotten nothing at all done.

Aurora was nice, though. :)

For those of you unable to see the Northern Lights, just pop in a copy of Super Street Fighter II Turbo and choose the England Stage. You're all set!

Once in a lifetime event twice in a year? I'm there.

This hurt my head. IN A GOOD WAY!

Thoughts Before Bed

When I was very little, mirrors were magical portals into other worlds. Tilted mirrors at the shoe store were a way into a world that was mirror imaged. And two mirrors facing each other went into dark places....

So I keep forgetting to make my dinners for this week due to doing other things, so I've been raiding my emergency food since I need to burn it off.

First time I've ever seen one of these in a (civilian) MRE. Like a big thick cracker.

::sigh::

So there's a YouTube channel I watch about aviation stuff that I really like. The host explains things really well, calls out videos designed to panic you about flying, and is a good source of info.

He just did a video about a woman kicked off a plane for not using the flight attendant's pronouns.

While he defends the flight attendant, he does so from a policy point of view of "it's more efficient to let the passenger go than the flight attendant." But more telling, he says things like "made up pronouns" and "they decided to use pronouns that weren't the real ones" and various other "bogus pronouns."

Yeah, not watching anymore.

Threads is quickly becoming The Mansplaining Social Media Service.

I've never had faith in staying in one place long enough for it to be home. So when I moved in here, I saved every box and stored it, because I knew I would have to move out some day. Likely not because I wanted to.

It's out! IT'S OUT IT'S OUT IT'S OUT!

Apparently today is the day reassigned all airline approach patterns directly over my house. Kinda reminds me of the days when we lived on the flight path for Kelly AFB.

Spent the evening in the Arcade Time Capsule arcade and relived my Saturday Nights as a teen pumping quarters into Street Fighter II.

I've spent enough money on that game Capcom should just send me a HSF2T cabinet.

"Yeah, I can't do a dragon punch on this joystick."
"But, it's a great joystick."
"Oh, it is. I was barely able to do a dragon punch in the arcade, so it's perfect."
