psipsyWhen I was out in Phoenix a few months ago, I wanted to make another visit to Ojos Locos but ended up going to Twin Peaks. Then I came to find out that while Ojos Locos doesn't go any further east than Texas, Twin Peaks does have a presence in PA. We used to have Hooters and Tilted Kilt but most of them around here closed. The Hooters nearby closed because the people running that particular location decided they didn't have to pay taxes, and that didn't work out too well for them. Can't have nice things around here.
I hereby declare that nerding out in Akihabara is a valid reason to visit Japan and if someone doesn't like that they can pay for my flight to see something else there. Though my next trip is also going to coincide with M3 and the associated CD feeding frenzy.
Last year I started phasing out the 10TB drives that had been in use in my server since 2017, replacing two of them with 20TB, with another two 10TB still in use. I could wait for a sale on the new ones. If I have to, I can get a replacement from Microcenter on short notice.
Each year on a Saturday in the middle of September, there's a local street festival. The best part is how it's literally 2 blocks from where I live. There's a local brewery that had a tent in the middle of the street, so I had some beer. Right there in the middle of the street. And it was great. I also bought a pie. I didn't want to be carrying around a pie the whole time, and I didn't have to. I was able to take it back to the house, and went back to the festival.
Something I noticed about this micro-brewery was that they had constructed a new building, instead of using the very vintage, if not historic, brick building right next door that was available for lease. I can only imagine that they did consider that building, only to find the lease payments were too high or the building needed too much work or both. Meanwhile there is another super-local brewery that did move into another old building, but was able to make it nice.
This Friday: Another Covid shot scheduled. This will be #6.
