Made a batch of boiled peanuts tonight. So good. Y’all are likely familiar with roasted peanuts, but in the South, we boil them. You don’t really need a recipe… Green (raw) peanuts. A copious amount of salt. Boil for a few hours. Enjoy.

With the July 4 holiday falling on a Tuesday, pretty much everyone at the office took Monday off. Except me. I’m holding down the fort tomorrow…

Made the jump to using the Tiny Theme. Still a lot of CSS tinkering to do, but happy so far. Added my fish logo to the top, updated the color scheme and switched some of the headers to one of the typefaces I designed. Thanks @Mtt for such great work on this theme.

Just took a walk on the trails behind our house for the first time in a couple of months. It’s a little tougher walk with Columbia, SC heat and humidity…

Happy Bobby Bonilla Day! ⚾️

I’ve been trying to go to bed earlier. The result is that I am simply waking up earlier, which isn’t necessarily helpful.

On a road trip from Columbia to Durham yesterday, I drove on five different interstates… I-26 > I-20 > I-77 > I-85 > I-40.

While on a roadtrip to Asheville, NC this weekend, I was looking for what electric cars I’d see along the way. This weekend, in addition to a bunch of Teslas, I spotted two Rivian SUVs, a Kia EV6, a few Chevy Bolts and a Polestar 2. It’s the first time I’ve seen a Rivian R1S in person. Looked sharp.

I moved out of my cube today for a new office slightly closer to campus. And while I love my new office – the natural light is wonderful – I’m a little sad to see the old cube go. It’s amazing how a place can become so meaningful over time. Even a simple beige cube.
