My apartment complex (185 units) is going to conduct a 'preventative maintenance inspection' tomorrow and Thursday, but I think they're just trying to identify the units that reek of weed and see if they can find any other lease violations.

My place currently smells like homemade biscuits and chicken/green chili stew.

I enjoyed Ted Chiang's Exhalation so much and just finished Stories of Your Life.
So, not very scary, but a few of the stories are kind of uncomfortable to read.
The novella that the film Arrival was (VERY) loosely based on is included.

Also, I'm finishing up Chuck Tingle's Camp Damascus - which is pretty scary.

I'm already a big fan of #GBBS new host Alison Hammond.
She brings a cheery and funny personality.
Plus, it's VERY nice to finally have a POC in the show.
Tbh, Noel and Matt together were sometimes a bit too much.

Today is #NationalCoffeeDay.
Coincidentally - first use of my new Krupps coffee maker and I am now grinding whole beans for the first time in many years (Peet's Major Dickason's blend).
Also, the awesome Jasmine Crockett in the above video is *MY* Rep. in Congress. She helps balance some of the Cruz/Cornyn/Abbott stench/taint.

My opening word really came through for a change.
Every light was green on my way home from the airport this morning.
Maybe I should buy a lottery ticket.

Yes! His anger is righteous and often funny.
I read his novel The Revisionaries last year - Interesting & complicated - much like him.
