Wish they made the Nissan Leaf in an AWD format. Front end is ugly but I can live with that. Too much trauma from upper Midwest winters to not have AWD though.

Watched White Noise on Netflix last night. Sort of a strange one, but I ended up googling one of the songs being played by a couple in the movie, Dean Wareham & Britta Phillips – The Cloud is Coming – [music.apple.com/us/album/…](https://music.apple.com/us/album/the-cloud-is-coming/1658424556?i=1658424577)

Quick outing today to shake off the lethargy, and Annie’s first hike as a walker!

I started going to the gym a couple months ago to improve my mental health. My times are not at all impressive, but they are slowly improving. When I was a teenager (half a life ago) I used to run a 5K in the 17s. One of my goals this year is to run a 5K in under 30 minutes.

Not sure how I ended up following mostly programmers, maybe they’re overrepresented on the indie web?
-
Sometimes I look at professional musicians who have small children and just wonder “how?”
-
My wife made the mistake of telling me the song to which she lost her virginity. There’s no limit to the fun you can have with this info. Having her parents over for dinner? Play the song! Celebrating Mother’s Day? Pregnancy photos set to the tune of the song!
-
I’ve noticed that the cuter my 1-year-old daughter gets, the more people say she looks like my wife. Not sure how I should feel about this given that when she was a bald headed roly poly she was apparently my twin.

Fun fact: my dog will eat almost
anything but will not eat a pretzel if her life depended on it. Makes me seriously question whether I should eat them! -
I ended up leaving the Urbanists.Social Mastodon instance. Even though I’m an urban planner by professions and a vocal advocate for transit, complete streets, etc., it’s completely overrun by cyclists.

Not sure where they get their artillery, but Aloha, OR sounds like a war torn country. Happy new year.

Wondering if I’ve got kidney stones or if it’s just gas 😳
-
Not that I would ever even consider buying a Tesla, but I used to at least think they looked kind of cool, like 5 years ago. But lately I’ve been thinking they just look so dated in their design. KIA’s recent offerings look a lot better to me.

My first guitar (1995). Japanese made Lotus strat. My mom’s taste in home decor was also *chef’s kiss*. 🎸
-
Wife just realized her paychecks haven’t included the raise she got back in September. And this is why I handle the finances folks.
-
Tried watching His Dark Materials last night with Shar and was absolutely bored out of my mind. Having a dry spell with shows capturing my interest.

Do we know how large the Micro.blog community is?

Conversation with my 3-year-old son:
“Dad, can we get a lollipop after my shot?”
“Yeah, we can stop at 7-Eleven afterwords”
“Is 7-Eleven a name because I thought that was when they were open?”
-
Several times now, I’ve written and posted updates with Gluon and the posts have just disappeared into the ether, never to be seen again.

People can be so small, lying for personal gain. I had a falling out with a long-time friend this year and found out our relationship was discussed on their (extremely obscure) podcast. If only their listeners knew what I know about them. Meh.

Is there no way to know who follows your Micro.blog?

Seems to be about a 20-30 minute delay before replies to Mastodon accounts from Micro.blog become visible on Mastodon itself.
