I let the flags get shamefully ratty this time around. Time to freshen up.

Assembling new flag poles

"Okay, then the... toppers? Toppers. These have a name. Are these finials? No, that's not right. What an idiot I am. What a fool."

*Googling 'finial' later out of curiosity*

"It
is a finial! I was right! What a genius I am! A generational intellect!"

I may be desensitized to certain types of risk due to living in a country where you can buy guns and groceries at the same store.

I have fallen in love with M. Bjoernstroem's channel. I was originally recommended his video about building a heated apron pad for his garage to keep the ice off. Come to find out he also basically runs Pajala Airport by himself. Throw in a few rock drilling and blasting videos and you've got a winning channel.

(Also, at least to my regrettably American sensibilities, he looks/sounds like a lost Koskela brother from Alan Wake)

Looking through my various registrar accounts and I was reminded of the time that a group of us were waiting on a Lyft in the parking lot outside Bay Area Maker Faire and one of my friends pulled out a pack of cigarettes and my other friend goes, "Oh, fuck yeah, cigarettes" and I thought that was so funny that I bought "fuckyeahcigarettes.com" from my phone right there. I held on to it for a bit and never knew what to put there. I ended up making it an alias for Philip Morris until it expired.

I also briefly owned "thesexnumber.com" and "theweednumber.com"

But I said nothing because eggs were kind of expensive.
