  1. Not smoky. Asbestosy. The school district sent a message Wednesday night saying all schools were closed because of hazardous particles in the air. My kids’s schools are 3-4 miles up the road, and the schools said we’re fine, but they’re not going to have class on Monday because reasons.
  2. Cool little bike, but shipping to CA probably wouldn't make sense. Yeah, their bikes are about 25% lighter than other comparable sized bikes, and about 50% more than comparable sized bikes.
  3. It was in the middle of Covid. Not that I would do it. But I understand.
  4. Our school district left a VM at 630 AM saying all schools are closed for the day because there is asbestos in the air after a major fire in the area. https://ktla.com/news/local-news/asbestos-poor-air-following-historic-hangar-fire-orange-county/amp/ A little extra notice would have been nice.
  5. EZ. Crabs and shrimps. My wife loves crab and shrimp, but shellfish in general is a big meh for me.
  6. 2-0 in elementary school. More like I punched and ran the fuck away before they could chase me down. 0-0-1 in middle school. We got in a pretty good scuffle on the playground. I had him in a head lock and bloodied up his face. He left me with good scratch marks on my back.
  7. Honda-Ya is indeed kick-ass. Wife and I went there for our anniversary dinner. Over the years, we’ve tried pretty much everything on the menu and it’s all good. Nexr time you’re in this area, DM me and I’ll buy you a beer.
  8. Looking for bike recommendations for the kids: For the boy, a 24" bike that he can go on easy trails with me. Ideally with front shocks, but not a deal breaker. For the girl, she'll be primarily on pavement or hard packed soil and doesn't need shocks. Obviously aluminum frame for weight and ideally under $500.
  9. There are / were 2 massive world war II era blimp hangars in the city of Tustin where I live. One of them burned down yesterday. They've been along my commute for the past 8 years, and to have one of them gone just FUCKING SUCKS. Each hangar is / was 1000' long, 300' wide, and the equivalent to 17 stories tall. Read somewhere they you could play a football, soccer and basketball game in the hangar at the same time, that's how large they were. There's a lot of development around the hangars, and the reason for the fire is still unknown. I just hope it's not arson to make room for more development. https://apnews.com/article/historic-hangar-fire-california-8d278fbff167b680f44c169aa708db21

  11. My wife texted me to say she got a “market adjustment raise”. I should have gotten into pharmaceuticals instead of construction.
  12. Something something about getting out of your enemy's way when they are fucking things up themselves. Found this quote while unsuccessfully looking for the one above: If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. If sovereign and subject are in accord, put division between them. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected. James, Endrogon, Willis and Smith can learn a thing or two from the old general.
  13. Article in the BBC about Taiwan's readiness to defend against China... which is really bad. But the US is selling and giving arms to Taiwan, and will be training troops as well in the near future. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-67282107
  14. I dropped off the family to do a 5K run this morning. I figured I'd have time to get a coffee and some groceries, then walk over and cheer for them. I got there barely in time to see my son cross the finish line. Not bad for an 8 year old running his second 5K.
