Had one of the best sleeps I’ve had in the past week. I discovered how to open the window in the bedroom. I think it made a great deal of difference to have fresh air through the night.
That was as satisfying a football beatdown as I’ve ever seen. And if it’s any consolation to Bills fans, they would have lost to the Eagles as well.
Not very invested in this Superbowl, but will watch. Rooting for the Eagles against the Kansas City Referees. No interest in the halftime show. The First Felon will find some way to ruin the experience.
Over the span of two days I’ve completed a redesign and integration of all three of my blogs. I am not a coder or designer, but all in all I am pleased with the results. Without the work of @mtt and @lmika I’m not sure it would look this nice (IMO) or function this well.
Spending the day planning the rest of the vacation. Not what I wanted to do, but the sooner it gets done, the better. Then I can work around our joint trips for podcast production and moto riding.
Replacement for my bricked Garmin Zumo XT arrived today. Currently doing all the updates. I hope to get it mounted on the bike and working tomorrow.
Morning Walk Sunday Feb. 2, 2025 9:45AM 1.82 miles. Weather: Sunny, 60°. Groundhog’s Day is not a thing here. Today I need to pull a few things together for the coming month. What’s great is that I will be able to do that outside, as the weather is turning warmer this week and becoming comfortable to sit in the shade. Watched Conclave last night. Not too impressed. The “payoff” ending rang hollow.
Pet Peeve of the Day: the incessant barrage of requests for reviews of items I’ve purchased online. I am not your free marketing department.
Morning Walk 9:45 AM MST 1.84 miles. Weather: 45°, sunny. I think the sense of discovery and adventure around the neighborhood is gone. I continue to fight the urge to leave the pavement and head east into the adjoining desert, since it appears to be private property. 🌵
Currently reading: Wanderlust by Rebecca Solnit 📚
I like walking because it is slow, and I suspect that the mind, like the feet, works at about three miles an hour. If this is so, then modern life is moving faster than the speed of thought, or thoughtfulness.

Finished reading: A Walk in the Park by Kevin Fedarko 📚 Enjoyable book with humor, drama, history, and mystery concerning Grand Canyon National Park. Should be visiting there during this vacation.
The past two days AML and I have been exploring the region by car. Yesterday we drove out to Chiricahua National Monument, and today we took in Saguaro National Park. More to come!
