Go touch grass and redwoods.

Nostriches weren’t always a thing. I settled on pronouncing it like the Latin word noster (pater noster, liber noster, etc) because I was familiar with it and it means “our”, which seemed appropriate. The other way just makes me think of nostrils.

Beautiful day on the West Coast.

This is old tech, but interesting... https://piql.com/ I like digital paper storage, but this might be a step up.

Fun fact, the terms optimize and optimization are almost never found in literature before 1950.

That sounds amazing.

Nice! Not to diminish what you're doing, just curious what level of scratch are you starting from? I've soaked corn to make hominy, but never attempted masa.

My wife always keeps tabs on Dick Van Dyke because we want him to make it to 100 in December. Keep dancing folks! https://youtu.be/LxAD5lCuA1k

The family and I had a wonderful evening out yesterday with a friend from church. We sat in the back courtyard of a small local brewery and enjoyed some food and drinks with the pups. The weather was perfect and later we walked all around our small, but lately modernized downtown. Lots of people were out, business was good, but it wasn't crowded. The community was alive and healthy. Evenings like these make me glad I never put down roots in some remote place. This morning we're having a baby shower and saying farewell to a friend heading off to medical school. Community is so important.
