My photo of the eclipse. As you can see, I was fitted with the best equipment to record this rare moment.
Down the street, visual chaos to complement road construction chaos.
Beautiful song. It has the correct amount of what I’m feeling these days–although, I’m not ready to fight yet.
The last couple of weekends have been nice. Nicer than the previous ones this year, at least. The sun has been up, which helps a lot.
We found a great currywurst place in the neighbourhood and I think I’m finally a fan. I mean, as much as you can be a fan of fried sausage, ketchup and curry powder… Unfortunately, I don’t have a picture yet.

I vaguely remember watching this film on TV all throughout my childhood. It was one of those movies that filled Sunday afternoon’s programming of one channel or the other—yes, we only had two TV channels back then.
We finally got to watching it properly last Friday night.
Considered by many as both the pinnacle of John Ford’s films and the unfailing inspiration to all other Western films, it has a spotless score of 100% Fresh on Rotten.
It’s also part of The American Film Institute list of films to watch, coming up at number 12.
