Tue Feb 28 07:59:39 EST 2017 Slept from ten-thirty to six-thirty without waking. Rain today. High of fifty-four. If I knew about this as a kid, I had forgotten. http://he-man.wikia.com/wiki/Stinkor https://www.fastcodesign.com/1672873/why-this-vintage-he-man-action-figure-still-smells-bad-30-years-later > 28 years later, an original Stinkor action figure smells every bit as bad as he did in 1985. [...] He’s decidedly a D-list villain: in fact, he’s essentially just a repainted version of an original He-Man baddie named Mer-Man, wearing armor recycled from another action figure called Mekaneck, "the Heroic Human Periscope." [...] The writers on the Masters of the Universe cartoon show wanted nothing to do with him, refusing to write an episode about a character who was "a walking fart joke." [...] Stinkor’s odiferousness was accomplished by Mattel actually mixing patchoulli oil into the mold. Mattel did the same thing with Stinkor’s nemesis, Mossman, a repurposed Beast Man with scratchy green astroturf glued on who smelled like pine because it had similarly been baked in. Half hour walk at lunch. Overcast, but warm. It rained on me a little, but otherwise perfect walking weather.

Hey! Kate just texted me. I have a nephew! Jack Hardaway Patrick Waters. After work, another thirty minute walk. Saw a couple of Canada geese, a bunch of robins, and red-tailed hawk chasing some little bird through the woods behind Huntley. Many of the trees are heavy with buds. Read a couple of chapter of The Three Musketeers before bed. Funny. I can see why people say this is one of those books that's hard to put down. Breakfast: carrots, spinach, yogurt, coffee Lunch: nuts Dinner: pizza
