              I still haven’t gone through the pickleball stage of late middle aged white folk yet. Puzzles and then finally bingo are even further out.

              Only non-witches get due process.

                  Only NY and Philly are in the top 20 today. Only those and Boston and Baltimore are in the top 100.

                        The population of Portsmouth, NH hasn't changed all that much, 4k to 22k

                        Nantucket 4k to 14k (winter pop, up to 80k in the summer)

                              I remember when that guy died, maybe 15 years go, and reading his obituary.

                              Extraordinary bad luck? Or extraordinary good luck? Or some of each?

                                From a Nate Silver newsletter.

                                Somewhat surprised by the magnitude of the blip around the Rodney King incident and subsequent riots. But then again I was living in Mexico and the internet wasn’t really part of our lives back then.

                                      Janet has this puzzle mat that rolls up or something. Luna, the supernaturally good cat, never would bother it. Stella, on the other hand, lives to do that which is forbidden.
