Slept from one to nine-thirty.
High of forty and rain today.
Goals:
- Work on blog comment system
A bit.
- Play Nintendo
- Go to bed before midnight
No!
Vacuumed.
Bought stock.
Twenty-minute walk in the late afternoon.
A dim and dark day.
Still, nice to have rain instead of snow this deep into December.
Got Jake's Christmas card in the mail, with this kids on it.
They're growing up — must be close to ten.
His kids probably have heard my name, but certainly couldn't pick me out of a line-up.
Funny.
Got me thinking about dad and Dick McQueen.
They were close friends, but I met dick probably less than half-a-dozen times throught the years.

> John Vaillant's _The Tiger_ is part natural history, part Russian history and part thriller; it tells a gripping and gory story of what it's like to stalk -- and be stalked by -- the largest species of cat still walking the Earth.

Learned about this years ago, and the story stuck with me.
Surprised no one's ever made a Jaws-style movie about it.
Oh, Sonny Chiba made a movie about it in 1990: Rimeinzu: Utsukushiki yuusha-tachi ("Yellow Fangs").

In 2016!
What about a D&D adventure with a brown bear that has a regeneration mutation?
Played some Firewatch on the Switch.
It makes me wonder what Gayle Verbunker, from Western, is doing today.
She wanted to be a park ranger.
(Oh, shit, she's on Facebook and lives in Novi.
I guess it's good I set facebook.com to 127.0.0.1 in `/etc/hosts`, since I'm a couple beers in now.)
I wish you could jump or climb a little in this game.
Fuck, the Julia storyline is sad.
The interface if frustrating.
<Teens: They are drunk>
Hah.
Talked to Jake on the phone for a couple hours.
Firewatch is a pretty great game.
