It’s me, right?

Companies advertising specials for folks being affected by the shutdown of the federal government rub me the wrong way.

Moar Art Bell Plz

Art Bell has resurrected his radio [1] show for Sirius. On channel 104 you can find Dark Matter [2] Monday nights from 2200 – 0200 EDT. It’s also rebroadcast weeknights from 0200 – 0600 EDT.

Preemptive

Someone needs to revoke my ability to comment anywhere on the Net for the next several hours. Due to the foul mood I’ve got going, the probability I would troll for an argument on the Internet is rapidly approaching 100%. And lo, the current opportunities for this kind of empty catharsis are many.

Brew Day

After a too long hiatus, I’m firing up the boil kettle today. On tap: Counciltucky Pale Ale [1]. Now to track down all of the equipment, fill a propane tank, and crush some grain. [1] https://www.evernote.com/shard/s228/sh/85826236-0ddf-4d8c-95cc-bc7adb2ec95b/af2a069759d809ceeed8cc4b3321306f
