A 70-some friend of mine is about to spend a week in a northwoods cabin, without internet, and is a bit anxious about how she will spend her time. She "knows" she can read and walk and all that stuff, and that we all used to live without the internet, but is still not sure she and her husband can spend a week together so intensely.
At least I don't watch TV.
6 Nations, Munster rugby. No interest in TV otherwise, though I think i might need to curb my use of YouTube. Rabbit holes!
I do watch the shorts everyday!
Game 2 of the SCF was a classic. What a game. Some incredible goals. Unfortunately, the Oilers lost in double overtime. It's tied 1-1 now, seems like it's gonna be one helluva series !
Even if you're not a hockey fan you might enjoy the first 15 seconds of this clip. WHAT A MOVE. WHAT A GOAL.

Best hockey players in the world.
I'm getting drunk on all the beers I'm getting.
I never could get into beer. Probably the only alcoholic beverages I can stand are margaritas since they're sweet. More of a caffeine man myself.
I love a good lager. Sweet drinks are nice here and there, but I can't pound a bunch of them without starting to feel sick, whereas with beer...
Air quality index has dropped to 5, meaning "moderate risk." Still looks pretty hazy out there, but I think I'll be able to leave the windows open overnight and get some cool air in here.

It gives one pause, to realize we live in a world in which I can order hand-harvested flaky sea salt from the Westfjords of Iceland, and have it delivered to my doorstep the next day.
Following on something I read today - We fear more being undead than dead.
If my consciousness ceased to exist, I guess it wouldn't make any difference to me, who would no longer be there to perceive anything. However, I suppose I could be embarrassed in advance, imagining my zombie ass staggering around all gross and nude with my naughty bits flopping about.
They found interred bodies tens of thousands of years old with stones placed on tops of them - to keep them from raising from the dead?
I'm always reminded of something Groucho Marx once said about TV: "I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set I go into the other room and read a book."
Was it a bovine skull?
I'm not surprised. Life is tiring enough without undeath to give it that extra element of exhaustion. No wonder zombies groan all the time; they thought they could just lie back in the coffin and get some rest, but they still have to get up in the morning and go to work.
But do you think they can get identity papers? Hell, no. Ever tried filling out paperwork when you're dead? "Place of residence? Graveyard! Occupation? Decomposition specialist!" It's an uphill struggle from the word go.
Nah, it was to enable them to get some peace and quiet for once. You'd be amazed how many necromancers come by to have a rummage.
Of course, some of them are bound to be either incompetent or having only very basic materials. For instance:
"I summon and conjure thee by means of this Bald-headed Broom of Art wot I borrowed from my neighbour Nigel! See how I scatter the Dusty Fluff of Necromancy in thy honour! Come unto us, O Wise Ug of Antiquity, and reveal unto us the Secret Knowledge such as no man may know wot of!"
If I was a zombie, I wouldn't mind rising, just to see what all the fuss was about.
