Tally from supper: two umbrellas broken, three fingers with a hot dog stick sized burn mark, and 9 hot dogs consumed.

All things considered I’d call that a win. πŸ†


I agree with Gruber: Patreon should call Apple’s bluff.

Me thinking I’ll have a nice chill Friday catching up from a couple days off.
