Strange to see my house like this, but pleased to see so much progress being made.
March 2024 Renovation Progress
Wind Spinner Nostalgia
Brought some of my wind spinners over to the rental so it feels a little bit more like home while I wait for the house to be renovated. They were being surrounded by bamboo and weeds that I’m unable to fully tend to for now, so I might as well enjoy them in the interim.
This is what the Wellfleet backyard roughly looks like these days:

Smoking Uptick in Movies and Shows…AGAIN
Trying to enjoy yet another sci-fi series (3 Body Problem) and there is CONSTANT smoking in the 2024 scenes. How many tobacco executives produced this? It’s disgusting, distracting, unrealistic and of course like in the Avatar movie, these are PhD’s smoking? What does that tell us? There’s nothing redeemable or necessary about these characters smoking of course. It’s all product placement. Tobacco truthteller organizations have noticed a huge uptick in smoking in movies and shows. It’s intentionally put in there as it always has been by one industry trying to sell poison. We need to make this outrage public. It was very easy to find an article on this: https://mashable.com/article/3-body-problem-smoking
Rowing in the Rain with a Rainbow
We actually had a full rainbow on this day, which you can see in two of these pictures if you look carefully.
Fogbow Alert
Thursday night practice had some excitement with a very cool fogbow, which I just learned is a type of rainbow.
Rest your Furry Heads
After a long neighborhood walk yesterday on the tandem, look how these two rested on my lap.
Our Own Tour Eiffel
Wednesday night row included a shot of la Tour Eiffel avec Mount Diablo in the background.
Snoopy and Bonnie Kayaking at Dan Foley
Videos of Bonnie’s first time at Dan Foley Park and Lake Chabot for a kayak ride. I’ll forgive her for falling asleep. I guess the rocking was soothing to her. Snoopy’s a veteran and jumped up on the kayak when I got in.
