I’ve been on a cruise, largely disconnected from reality for the last week. Very nice to be cruising back to some extremely intriguing news.

Probably the right choice considering the lack of pedestrian access at the cruise ship terminal.

Jumped on the 8 at 11:20am or so. Two guys are trying to move some random furniture and a desk chair which is causing some shenanigans.
