Life and stuff (zaibatsu), 06/25/2019
------------------------------------------------------------
It's been almost a month since I've posted on gopher. That's
a bit of a long stretch for me, based on the last couple
years of gopher habits. I haven't even taken time to *read*
on gopher...
But here I am, with a very tiny contribution. And, I took
some time to take a VF-1 tour through a long list of
Bongusta backlog. I didn't have time to read everything, but
it was nice to catch up a little bit.
In the meantime, I got a new used car to replace the one the
deer ruined, increased my insurance coverage a bit, got lots
of editing done on that book, met a few new people, mowed
the yard, survived a small flash flood without getting water
in the basement, caught my first fish in MO, and visited
every firework stand in a 15mile radius with my youngest.
The thing is, I could have easily been using gopher and
still done all of those things. Gopher is *simple*. It is
simple to participate, both in reading and in writing. There
is very little in the way, very little required. It's the
kind of tech behavior that doesn't suck away at life.
I hope everyone is doing well, and enjoying this time of
year, wherever you are!
