Bummer getting sick for a few days. At least I got better in time for the
Berlin concert.

I was walking this morning and noticed they put even more lights on one of the cranes at UW. There was just a tree at the top before, but now there are lights all the way across horizontally. It's kinda cute, because the two separate sections are lit with different strands. I didn't feel like trying to get a video, and remembered I had GifBoom on my phone, so here's what I managed to get.

Cute! Kinda hard to use, though. It's obvious that it was an iOS app and they didn't bother to do much when they converted to Android. The phone's shutter button doesn't do anything, so you have to press a button on the screen. Quite hard to do, even with my smartphone gloves because, while I can uncover my fingers, my thumbs stay covered. But the main challenge was blocking out a streetlight. That's a bit of my hand in the upper right.

I went onto my phone to grab the crane gif and realized I did a test the day I downloaded it.

I'm sure I posted it years ago. Here it is again.

I spotted a glimpse of this in a college acquaintance's FB photo and asked, what's that creepy face by the fireplace?

He said it's a bobblehead of his face and it's not creepy at all, so I said I'd need to

Or maybe just a pessimist. I was a few blocks from my place on this morning's walk and saw a guy in the street with a huge remote control car. Immediately, I thought, this is going to be annoying. Nothing had happened yet, but I knew.

I guess even just him being in the middle of the street was a start. Volunteer Park's just a few blocks away and there's a lot of road there that's always closed to cars. Of course, the park's not open that early, but whatever.

So anyway, I just got past him and was heading north, and the car zoomed past me. Yup, it was annoying. Surprisingly loud, which is super inconsiderate at 4:30am in a very dense residential neighborhood.

Once it was really far away, he tried to turn it around, hitting a car. And the car's alarm went off.

I knew it would be annoying.

I don't know why I never thought to before, but starting this year I'm saving all the holiday cat and dog pictures for Christmas day. Mostly I mention it in case you wonder why there aren't any the next few Saturdays.
