Jared

Thanks I'm on Vyvanse now

Oh and this was a few years ago. They may have improved their product since.

I bought a poncho before switching to a suit.

1. My regular rain jacket (which is super cute anyway)

2. Black rain pants (wide feet with zipper so you can put on with shoes; elastic binding of some sort around the lower leg)

3. Shoe covers

4. A helmet with a visor

Takes 3 mins, waterproof

And lastly, the water repelling qualities of the material faded after a season. Now, dampness seeps through after some time. Could probably maintain annually with one of those water proofing sprays, if you can tolerate the aerosolized micro plastics.

It does a decent job protecting your legs, but beneath your knees can still be susceptible to wind driven rain from the sides or from just moving quickly. Anticipate some water getting on your feet if there's moderate rain.

It's difficult to wear a backpack with this. You can wear one underneath, but it's a little difficult to wrap the hood's belt around you and your backpack.

I have one of these and liked it alright for drizzly rain. The thumb loops are essential to keep rain off your knees, but sometimes your hands end up exposed after a gust.

You definitely need to use the strap to keep the back down, but it's easy.

A half consumed milkshake, you can see caramel streaks and whipped cream. It looks delicious.

Sweet corn milk shake with peanut butter and caramel sauce.

It's a peanut butter cap'n crunch shake. It's so good.

I gave my order and then

"Got it. Jared, right? Yeah! You've been here like 50 times."

People are saying incredible things these days

Queer hope core at solid pink disco. Nice.

Absolutely zero challenge from the NPR journalist when the guy said "genocide and ethnic cleansing accusations are completely false and unsubstantiated."

Incredible.

Guy on NPR says that the shooting is because "people use the words genocide and ethnic cleansing, which radicalizes people."

I actually think it's more to do with the fact that Israel & the US are doing genocide and ethnic cleansing.

Good and decent people outside my office building today

Problem is though, I'm supposed to be tearing down drywall, not perusing a queer artifact. This must be how Boromir felt.

Several life magazines from the 70s. Headlines read "the year in pictures 1971" and "the marriage experiment"

Rediscovered tonight: a short-lost treasure of uncertain provenance.

I have no precise recollection of how I came to have these, but I do remember what I found in them once.

Somewhere in these pages (from 50-odd years ago) is a story about queers taking their liberties.

I told him I wasn't sure it was a good idea to take a test, on account of all the different drugs I take.

I got diagnosed with ADHD and picked a doc who would manage meds with me like a fine tune mechanic. After a couple months of work, he rx'd me some classic ADHD meds to try.

Wonder if I picked a too-by-the-book guy tho -- he asked for a drug test! Never heard of that before...

Flowers on a pawpaw tree in early spring

Closeup of a pawpaw tree flower, dark cherry red petals of a flower that opens facing the ground.

I grew suspicious of my neighbor's tree last fall. This spring, its flowers confirmed it: this is a pawpaw tree.

That means I can grow a pawpaw tree!

A redbud tree in a park at a farmers market. It has clusters of vibrant flowers and a few green leaves

Clusters of redbud flowers burst from branches

Beautiful weather at the farmer's market. Feels like today's the turning point of seasons in Chicago, a palpable sense of momentum toward summer.

My favorite tree in this park is a redbud, an early bloomer whose flowers come before its leaves. One of the heralds of spring.

Leaves arriving today!
