I'm thoroughly enjoying Abbot Elementary. I also watched one of my guilty pleasure movies last night, Sleeping With Other People.

I just finished watching "The Glory" on Netflix.

It's a great revenge story; I think maybe it's possible I like it so much because it's very satisfying to see bullies get their comeuppance.

I had my fair share of bullies growing up; but the bullying in the show would definitely be classified as school violence.

It is in Korean; I recommend watching it subbed and not dubbed.

There's good rockhounding in Virginia if you're willing to drive a bit. You can find garnet, amazonite, amethyst, blue quartz, turquoise, unakite, prehnite and much more. There are some old mines that will seasonally be open to the public and are usually great for kids. Lucky Lake is one that's not too far that should open in the spring. But you can also Google rockhounding maps of Virginia to get suggestions on where to find different rocks. It's not as simple as looking in the back yard but it can make for a fun getaway.

Favorite recent shows are probably "Severance" and "House of the Dragons". Watching last of us and it's pretty awesome so far.

There were a few startups that attempted such a thing, but insane insurance rates killed all of them that I'm aware of. To the best of my knowledge, nothing like that exists around here.

That said; do you really need the lift? I do 90%+ of the work on my cars, and a simple floor jack and 4 jack stand have never let me down. I even fully rebuilt the entire front suspension/drivetrain on my Silverado early in pandemic without a lift. What are you working on?

I've been rewatching the west wing. I always enjoy the early simpsons and king of the hill. Movie wise, I saw She Said and thought it was a good movie.

I'm really enjoying The Last of Us. Has started deviating from the game just enough to keep me on my toes.

Dropping my old dog off for dental surgery today. Cue ball of nerves for the entire day!
