A Grab Bag Post

When one gets home from work to start a vacation, one puts on overalls and pours a Scotch. It’s just what one does.

I like Scotch. Scotchy Scotch Scotch. Here it goes down. Down into my belly.

::  Teevee show you should watch: The World According to Jeff Goldblum, on Disney Plus. It’s a series of light-hearted and fascinating mini-documentaries about mundane subjects, starring some actor named Jeff Goldblum.

::  Here’s a pretty good article about what there is to see and do in the Finger Lakes. It’s kind of a starter article, but as those go, it’s good.

::  An article about the Hardy Boys books and the ghostwriters who formed “Franklin W. Dixon”.

::  Seen locally: a large bobble-head of Bills quarterback Josh Allen. Which doesn’t look anything at all like Bills quarterback Josh Allen!

::  A recipe I might try: African sardine stew.

::  Finally, a photo I took of my street on a dark morning in early autumn, when the sky was gray and the streetlights weren’t off yet. One thing I like about the rise of LED technology is that the streetlights now cast old-school pools of light, like they used to in all the old noir films. I processed this photo through the Prisma app to get this effect.
