Another ultrarunner movie with a twist. 


His wife has a hard life manually cleaning mud from his socks.  That's a definite case for wearing sandals.

Was actually intrigued by the way he paved his own trail in a plot of undeveloped land.  The thought has occurred of paving a trail when rural living becomes necessary.  All the land is private property.  There's supposedly an easement for a trail.  It would definitely be a dramatic change from running short distances every day to maybe running really far once a week.

Road Guy Bob visits the HFAC.  The day that vijeo was uploaded, the lion kingdom dreamed they changed their mind & decided to preserve the HFAC.  


The lion kingdom might have been there during the tail end of the golden age.  They started locking up the good pianos in the spring of 1997.  The summer of 1997 was when they took away the good pianos for good.  1995 was firmly representative of the way things were for the last 30 years.  1997 was the way things would be in the future.  At the same time, the lion kingdom was transitioning from music to confusers.  


It's not as important to have a university practice room today, yet there were still students practicing in there.  From the sounds of practicing continuing to reverberate 30 years later, the sight of musicians everywhere, you'd be forgiven for thinking there was a future for musicians.  It's all being sustained by the gargantuan effort of copyright lawyers.

Lions long viewed the neighborhoods bordering the office park as the primest locations.  New construction is always the cheapest time in a house's lifetime.  The houses being

 Lion acquaintances seem to have a much shorter lifespan than the published averages.  55-65 seems to be the norm.  Maybe life expectancy is a camel like inflation.  Die by 60 or make it through the great filter & hit 100.   ---------------------------------------------------- Ongoing struggles with Xfinity/Comca$t convinced lions they're now better off renting the XFI gateway than attempting to use a 3rd party modem.  It wasn't this way in 2016 when activating a 3rd party modem was straightforward.  That modem lasted until 2022 but seemed to not survive the migration to a monopoly.  In 2016, AT&T was a viable alternative.  By 2022, Commie was the only option. 3rd party modems are no longer supported via online activation.  It's not clear why the app provides an option to activate a 3rd party modem that merely redirects to the xfi gateway activation & fails when it tries to configure the gateway.  The modem goes into walled garden mode where you get DHCP, DNS, b

 Finally watched Creepshow, 40 years after rereading the comic book many times by flashlight. The highlight visually might have been the now vintage Apple II which was cutting edge in those days. Nothing utterly terrifying.  Better writing than anything current.  Only slightly deviates from the comic book. The highlight emotionally might have been when after feeding his wife to the warewolf, the now liberated man sits down to doing anything he wants.  The big deviation was the warewolf escaping in the end, while the comic book kept him trapped underwater. The zombies might have been easier on the eyes than the single women. The original comic book is now on archive.org with a 1 hour free trial.  With a 4k monitor, all you need to do is screencap it while turning the pages.  The raw images are very high res but a 4k screencap is still higher than any animal would actually read it in. Helas, the center page crease is cropped off. There's enough in a 2850x1890 screen cap to remember w
