Inside The Perimeter

While rooting through a bookcase yesterday I found a book I meant to read earlier in the month. The book, “Christmas in Plains: Memories” written by Jimmy Carter, turned out to be a signed copy as well. A quick search on eBay revealed that I was not the only one with such an item, and that the going (non-selling) rate for these seems to be about $40; not a lot, so I think that I will keep this copy and read it next December.

You won’t believe my Wordle outcome today, but it’s true.

I wanted to watch Christmas Day NFL, but of course those games were on a subscription service (Netflix). So now I say “Fuck the NFL. You can’t keep your commercial-laden broadcasts!”. Bah! Humbug!

Merry Christmas, friends. I don’t know how widespread this blog spreads messages these days, but if you are reading this, and celebrate the holiday, I sincerely hope you have a great day.

One of the nice things to learn when pretending to be a farmer is what plants can survive freezing temperatures. The other night I picked some Chinese cabbage and baby bok choy to add to the meal of frozen dumplings and Chinese noodles that I made for dinner. I still have some of these greens in WLF to eat before they go bad.

I received an email about next year’s Bo Bikes Bama. In this email it said that the 2025 rendition will be the last one. I’ve ridden Bo Bikes Bama once, and was signed up for it in 2020 when it got cancelled along with everything else in the world. It’s usually scheduled the weekend following BRAG STU, but due to that being held early this year because of Easter, there will be more separation so I may have to try to sign up for its final ride.

Because I wasn’t paying I ate at Little Alley Steak in Buckhead last night. The meal was a gift from one of my friends for helping him out. What people pay for food is obscene to me. Don’t get me wrong, everything I ate, my entree was the pork chop because I couldn’t wrap my head around paying $60+ for a steak with no accompanying sides, was delicious. I am noting all of this for future Paulie, who will never again have stepped foot inside this restaurant, and will try to remember its name.

I baked a pillowy loaf of white bread yesterday. Except for some unusual spots which arose during baking the result rose properly tastes delicious.

I watched Home Alone last night. Every time I watch a movie made pre 9/11 that has an airport scene I miss freedom.

I have to admit that I lost patience with Connections this morning and essentially quit by picking random tiles for my final two guesses.
