    VW passed inspection today, but with the caveat that I’ll need to fix some rust by next year.

    $8 gas *in Boston* by Election Day. I’m pinning this.

    Built a pair of Corsi-Rosenthal boxes to deal with the smoke. Pepper hates fans, but she loves them. I guess the filters have a nice gentle intake breeze. (No photos yet despite it being #caturday.)

    Marathon Madness The car is loaded, the lights are charging, and I&amp;#39;m getting excited. Tomorrow I&amp;#39;ll be participating in the Midnight Marathon, a pirate ride of the annual Boston Marathon route. As the name implies, it sets off from Hopkinton at midnight. This year I&amp;#39;ll be entirely self propelled. It&amp;#39;s unofficial, completely disorganized, and a ton of fun. Last year was my first. http://notesfrommosquitohill.com/2026/04/18/marathon-madness/

    What a difference a day makes. Yesterday was gray &amp;amp; my mood matched. Today is sunny &amp;amp; warm. I am happily enjoying a few minutes on a park bench between appointments. The sun feels good and my view of a busy highway is still nice.

    Watching an old #Emergency! episode. Still love the show half a century later, and I keep noticing things on rewatch: 1. Pregnant woman accidentally shot in abdomen, unresponsive. No blood, everyone is calm, vitals are crap. This is a LEVEL ONE TRAUMA. In modern TV (The Pitt etc.) this would be a huge deal, with a rapid team response. On 1970&amp;#39;s TV? The words say bad things are afoot, but we see none of it. She survives, husband faints. Cue laughs. 1/N

    Got the utility trailer out of storage today. Was a bit upset to note it needs tires. It’s still new! Wait, bought it in 2018. Been to Indiana 3x, NYC twice, plus my local usage. In that time I’ve changed trucks, put new tires &amp;amp; a starter on the new one. Bought a car, wore it out, bought another. Ok, maybe not so new. Time is weird since the pandemic began. I guess I can buy some more tires.

    Hey #amazon, here&amp;#39;s a multi-million dollar idea: I would happily pay a small fee (call it a Shipping Charge) to have my package delivered by the competent carrier of my choice.

    Was feeling off today, missing Sammie. Just realized it’s been exactly eight months. The soul knows what the brain forgets.

    Town meeting tonight. I must force myself to sit here quietly and vote. Just Sit Here No matter how dumb it gets. I cannot fix people by myself. The goal is to simply emerge with a working budget. Everything else would be cake.

    RE: https://feistycricket.org/@mack505/116518975405682093 Huh. I won’t edit that b/c ppl have favorited it, but that’s quite the autocorrect mess. It wasn’t *that* late…

    Today is shaping up to be a maintenance day. Gym, some personal care, house cleaning, accounting…
