What made me happy today?

What song was it? Not that I will probably recognize it -- nearly all my rock and pop musical knowledge stopped around 1980, except, I guess, the Traveling Wilburys.

Tennessee by Arrested Development. I had a clear memory of the band playing on "In Living Color" back in the day. Finding the video, got me to the band, which got me to the song.

Eta: I'm one of those people who become obsessed by songs and will stop at nothing till I get to them.

So, I was in a shopping mall's food court earlier today, trying to order some food, when a woman cut in front of me to complain that they didn't have a men's room and a women's room.

Apparently, due to a change of policy, the mall decided not to call them that because it would look discriminatory against gender-fluid people. Good. So now, all bathrooms are simply called that: bathrooms.

But this lady wouldn't have it. No, no, no, no. There must be a clear division. Either men's room or women's room. Nothing in between.

I looked up an appropriate image on my phone and showed her this:

Sadly, it made her clutch her pearls, shout that we were all going to hell, and storm out.

The clerk asked me what the image was. I showed it to him. I got a high-five and (very) small discount. All in all, a nice day.

Everybody clapped

I'm happy my daughter is going to have my wife and I over for breakfast this morning for a father's day celebration with her little ones, they live within a short golf cart ride here on the farm.

Actually yesterday. Climbing nearly half a mile of steep stone steps to reach the "Balanced Rock" at Wisconsin's Devil's Lake.

I just got back my grades for the year. I'm not thrilled with them but considering I went to university for a week or two and did the rest from home because of all the bullcrap that happened, I can take it.

My average grade for the year comes down to 77.9%. I wanted something like 90% but alas... I can live with it.

I'm just happy the exam board didn't become suspicious of my attendance. I was low key worried that they would question me about it, but it never happened.

Now all of that stuff is behind me. I don't want to see university related things until October!

As a history nerd, this video made me very happy.

Don't miss the post-credits little dance.

If you're interested, I would very much recommend Dr Ian Mortimer's Time Traveller's Guides to Britain (i.e. in the Middle Ages, in the Elizabethan Age, during the Restoration, and during the Regency). They are fascinating. They go not only into clothing, but also into food, law, travel (and how you would travel, and why), literature, poetry, where to stay, and much more. Highly recommended!
