foggy and gloomy outside this morning. Goth girls rejoice.

one of my favorite shows on OPB has always been Oregon Experience. Over the years they have had some great episode. Recently their schedule has been sporatic and now it looks like they have changed from an hour to 20-30 minutes and from straight documentary style to more of a infotainment format. boooooo. #pdx #obp :stag:

i don't need them but if i wanted heated seats for my volvo i would go to a junkyard and pull them out of a 960 and put them in my 940... which is already wired for heated seats. soon... you'll need a subscription in order to get heated seats in your car. fuck that.

getting timers for my outdoor lights was a good idea. getting analog, manual timers with cheap motors in them was a bad idea. after 3 years of dealing with that bullshit... having to microadjust for coastal sunrises and sunsets at 45 degrees north... that was not the move. plus daylight savings and power outages and shit. i was about to replace one that broke and was like fuck that. i spent the extra $9/ea for the digital astronomical timers with dst and battery back up. set it and forget it.
i grew up in a time when the Who where huge. massive. i like a few of their songs but i've never really been a fan. not really my scene. but. i have pulse. and the first 5 songs on live at leeds is some of the best rock n roll you'll ever hear. the best. i could give a shit about the rest of the record. but yeah. the first 5 songs. dig it.

beatles, hendrix, doors & zeppelin. kiss. that's my classic rock pantheon. ppl are always surprised to find the stones/who omitted. i'm always surprised that ppl are surprised.

if you know basketball history then you know what's happening in #pdx with the #trailblazers and the arena is the same shit that happened in Seattle and why the sonics are the okc thunder now. if you love the blazers... better get to some games. my bet is they're gone by the 28-29 season.
one of my favorite de la tracks. dave and pos come with the hot fire and then shortie no mas (aka i am shortie i be 4'11) drops BARS. dope. #phatbeatz

watching this braves game reminds me why i stopped watching baseball on tv. so boring. especially since the braves can't seem to get out of this fucking inning. omg. it's like watching paint dry.

@golgaloth@writing.exchange i'm not sure if you picked up on it or not but that picture is from a Japanese audiophile store... and the Japanese are nothing if not DEAD SERIOUS about audiophile shit... so i'm not sure how this is received over there vs. over here in the states where obviously for most discerning folks this is snake oil of the highest order.
anyway... i get my cables from the caucus mountains where the OFC is hand woven in small batches by vestal virgins wearing white gloves. 😜
it must be way easier to get a gun through security at the white house correspondents dinner than i had imagined. 🙄

Wildfire smoke often overwhelms local ocean breezes when stronger offshore atmospheric winds push the smoke seaward from inland fires.
Additionally, an atmospheric inversion layer—where a blanket of warm air traps cooler air below—can clamp down on the coast, holding smoke near ground level and preventing daytime sea breezes from blowing it away.
