I have a fever and feel like crud. I want to do some relaxing things on my computer.

I also have my work Firefox profile open with god knows how many google docs.

Decided to close it.

Maybe now I should get that business loan to buy the place and turn it into a public pool with arcade and burger place.

Well, the old bowling alley in Ojai that's been closed down/boarded up for years just burned down.

Photo is the view from the backside, where a subdivision backs up to the old building.

Most of the glow was from the emergency vehicle lights, not the fire anymore at that point.

It's about half a mile as the crow flies from our house. We could hear the chain saws the firefighters were (and still are!) using.

When someone gets hurt I immediately go to first aid mode. Stop bleeding. Clean wound. Reduce swelling. Etc.

I have two kids who are very anti any intervention for the first hour ish (really) after they get hurt.

It takes so much self control to not ask even simple things like "can I get you anything?" for the first 30 minutes.

Yes, my youngest face planted tonight while biking. Nothing broken and the lip is only slightly bleeding and swollen.

Oh gosh the jack hammers are starting again.

You know that soundtrack I loved as a kid: The Saint.

I just want to waste hours playing Total Annihilation on a crt monitor all afternoon, but I have stupid adult shit to deal with instead.

The first time a media company has actually done the healthy thing for me and encouraged me to stop (or don't start) using it.

It's late but I was going to watch an episode of ST:TNG but netflix complained my browser was too old, so I upgrade to Fx 89. Same error. Tried Chromium and I don't think it has all the necessary DRM bits.

tl;dr: goodnight

So, I have 2 Alexa devices in my house (neither of which I bought, even though they're on my account, I'll note).

But I can't seem to find the setting to disable the new "sidewalk"/"share your wifi with other devices" setting.

I've read the Amazon FAQ and at least 3 articles mentioning the steps. I just don't have the sidewalk option in my app.

I guess I'll just have to burn them.

Effing jack hammers

Also, gee willagee, that's a bougie thing to want right now.

It's part of why I want to move back to the Midwest. So I can listen to music, via speakers, when my family is asleep. Down in the basement while they're on the second floor.

Very hard to do in a 1000 sqft 2 bedroom house with 2 kids and working from home since forever.

But hey the weather is nice.
