So, looking for gifts for my son, what is the best source for some alloy wheels? Reasonably priced, of course. He rides a fixie if that matters.

Those two tall buildings are the evil Comcast headquarters (left) and its Technology Center (right). The Four Seasons relocated to the top of the Technology Center. The views from the restaurant there are supposed to be fabulous. The lights of the neighborhood garden went on on Saturday during a neighborhood gathering. That big tree supports lots of birds. That, in turn, has attracted hawks from time to time. Within the last year I saw one try to catch a sparrow. Couldn't tell if he was successful or not.

I have now. Crazy is an understatement. I didn't even imagine octopi live in that part of the world. Most of my experience with them has been in southern Spain, so I guess I assumed they were relatively warm(er) water creatures. Wonder if the eagle tried to snag the octopus.

I've begun my winter weight loss program. It's just too bad that I like chocolate as much as I do. I'm eating a lot more grapefruits, and will soon leave the protein powder behind, consuming stinging nettes in its stead. Much, much cheaper, no Big Agri hormones, and still a complete protein. Whodathunkit?
At some point I would like to up my daily distance as well.

Octopi are badasses. There was an aquarium that wanted to release an octopus in to the same tank with some sharks. They were a little concerned for the safety of the octopus, but they figured it could hide from the sharks and stay safe.
Then the sharks started disappearing. The set up a camera and the octopus was, of course, snatchin' up the sharks for a late night snack.

Speaking of eagles, we haven’t seen a decent eagle post lately. Slacking.
