So, I broke down and bought an M5 MacBook Air today. Here’s the deal:

Costco has the 10CPU/10GPU 16GB/1TB model for $1149 (price good until 7/12). They will be selling at that price until out of stock. I bought the last one at my location.

From Apple that model is $1599.

Seemed a no brainer.


Tonight’s culture…


Marched in a 4th of July Parade with The Mayor and then picked up some books at that neighborhood’s bookshop for a family book club situation we’re planning.


Cocktail, Cocktail, Mocktail.


I get to knock an item off my bucket list today. It’s not a huge one but I’m super excited about it.


Update: Cherry tree fully picked now.

So. Many. Cherries.

Everyone I know with trees are reporting a bumper crop this year.

For the record: This is the video that made Beatrix a big Alan Cumming fan. When he asked her how she knew his work and she told him he said, “Yeah, that is a really good bootleg!”


Did I mention that after hosting around 200 people for her grad open house, Beatrix went to an event celebrating the film Sweet Land and met Alan Cumming.? Well, that happened.


This very very seewious like for real will stand up in court indictment amounts to, “They organized in order to exercise their constitutional rights while calling themselves silly names and believing things we don’t agree with and we don’t like it.”


Just so people are aware, suspected ice vehicles all over the Twin Cities this morning, at least 10 arrest that I am aware of. All active peaceful observers. These cases will likely be thrown out, but that’s not the point. The point is to hassle, intimidate and scare
