cycling! after 15 years i am finally on a bike again. it is the best exercise. there is a huge 2500-acre park in a river valley right near my house with miles and miles of paved bike trails so i've been riding down there a lot

decorative garden suns, which also resemble inti, the ancient incan sun god. i just hung a huge one on my front porch and it looks awesome. there is a little hippie arts & crafts store in town and they have a bunch of handmade ones and others with trees and flowers and i want to get some of those.

building cairns. we removed a garden pond in our backyard because the previous owners didn't maintain it and it was just 4ft deep sludge. after we drained it and filled it in with dirt we had all these beautiful rocks of varying sizes leftover from the pond, and now we have about 25 or so little cairns and rock gardens throughout our yard. we collected some driftwood from the lake and built some natural sculptures with those too. it is nice to look at them. the cairns often collapse so it has been a continuous process to build new ones that are stacked in different ways.

what sort of soups?

I love making soups. The last batch I made was Potato/Leek/Onion/Celery/Carrot, but I have a big preference for Tomato Soup. Soup is amazing.

Just remembering the time last year when I spent hours making some homemade passata out of this beautiful batch of tomatoes. Then I fucked the lot up with some cheap, foul tasting chicken stock I'd picked up at the Asian supermarket. That was soul destroying. I don't bother pealing + sieving tomatoes any more, it wasn't worth the effort.

Listening to my music collection geographically.

On soup, can anyone recommend a good Clam Chowdah recipe? I perpetually dream about the stuff I had in Boston but have yet to try and make a batch up.

may i steer fellow soup enthusiasts to this thread: ≋post yr soups≋

cutting baleful timesuck websites from my life

expand on this one please

reading up on a certain profession's actual official code for a course i'm teaching, thinking of torturing the students by making them answer take-home exam questions about the code itself.

i thought this before, but it's super super clear after this (unrelated) readthru - the behavior of all these fbi agents and other govt officials in the news lately, documenting all their interactions, which could appear peculiar if you're viewing it through/without the relevant lens, watching a paranoid cable news network, etc., is utterly prosaic from the perspective of a profession with a high level of discipline, code enforcement, etc.
