Irene delivered lunch yesterday. Chicago dog + chili cheese Coney. I lost track of how many times I’ve had this combo. 4 dollars total, premium beef. Sonic is the current fast food menu champion.
Magic vs Lakers, thanks to Joey. Lakers got crushed. Magic won us all a free taco with 10+ three-pointers. Best halftime show ever: costume quick change magicians. I’ve always wanted to see them and now I know that the performance does not use camera or stage tricks.
Breakfast from apartment staff on my way out of the gate
7:45 this morning. Legit windshield wiper-scraping ice that took ten minutes to melt.
The Promise of America; Herbert Ryman, 1982. Six or seven feet wide, so much to view.
Cruising on a Disney river
Freeze week
Universal closed one of its remaining Disney-style rides. The whole experience is immortalized in HD. It’s a shame prosumer equipment wasn’t available before Disney axed Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride and Figment. Think of everything else that history has lost to the slow innovation of the lens.
It’s normal to not see any alligators between October and February, but it’s been so unusually warm that this monster was spotted on a Christmas hike. There was a slightly smaller one that dipped into the water, and they were both very active. Fattest gator I’ve ever seen in the wild. Scale: six or eight of me bundled together and over twelve feet long. The other holes are old alligator dens.
A Martin County Christmas Eve
From Sunday. The biggest company party so far. 3000 people in the building and in three huge tents on the backlot. So many food stations. It was the only cold night of the season. Great Christmas party.
