I had to look it up before I believed it. My first response was 'oh yeah, the insurance co is going to buy that.'

Apparently, dry hay has a potential spontaneous ignition point of only 130F (55C). But that's not direct ignition. The hay emits a gas when heated which can spontaneously combust.

I think that's extremely weird given normal office paper doesn't flame out until well over 400F (over 200C)

I watch more cable news than I'll ever admit to so take this for what it's worth.

I keep seeing cobalt blue clothing, especially neck ties, everywhere. It also happens to be my fave color so either it's some sort of twisted confirmation bias or I'm the only here who's actually real - you know, like a brain in a vat. Very unappetizing.

Cobalt blue got trendy a few years ago. 2019? 2018? I don't know. Wish it would crawl back into obscurity where it belongs. Kind of an eyesore. Needs more yellow mixed in.

(my favorite search engine informs me the fashion industry has been pushing it hard for a year now. )

NEF. Ah, boomers going off as I type. Guess the weather apps are correct for a change.

It looks like I'm going to have to craft a little camera prophylactic for the porch cam - with a tiny little hole for its *ahem* antenna.

Some water has infiltrated the housing and now, every morning, it's all froggy and shit and sometimes takes all day to clear up.

Overheard "Fuck you Microsoft" from the IT dept. As someone that used to work in IT, I echo that sentiment.

If all the FUs to MS over the years were as thin as paper and stacked up, they'd probably have reached the moon by now

New Weber Grill arriving this morning. Last one was good for twenty years (would have been longer if I was still able to source the rusted out burners). New deck, new grill - time to have family over again for cookouts! All this is helping us throw off the remaining 'covid' doldrums.

@Ajay - That's f'ing fantastic my dude. I love hearing things like this. Hazah!

As I've gotten older, I seem to have developed a very, very shallow arch in my feet. I don't have a lot of childhood memories, at least of which I'm aware, but one is being at some boardwalk on the Jersey shore, stopping to rest with mom and grams, looking at my feet and they were solid black. The memory is probably corrupted, but I have little down that both feet were evenly dark across each sole.

That was about 50 years ago.

I've not really checked since then, so this discovery was . . . let's say, unexpected.

Of course I'm pleased and while unexpected, there was a somewhat logical reason. I can feel my arches touching the ground when walking. What I don't feel, at least not such that it rises to the level of consciousness (unless I inquire), is the difference in pressure.

Hence the description as "a very, very shallow arch."

Last day shift. Going to be nice sleeping in tomorrow.
