Also on my trip to London last week, I got to see several paintings by one of my favorite artists, #VanGogh.

The British Museum happened to be closed that day (a fire in the neighborhood the day before), so I decided spur of the moment to go to the National Gallery instead.

I'm really glad I did.

I happened to walk past it on a walking Beatles tour of Soho.

This map he created is an oft-used demonstration as an early example of a data visualization. (www.rcseng.ac.uk/library-and-...)

The outside of the pub named John Snow.

A replica of the water pump outside the pub.

In 1854 in Soho (London), there was an outbreak of cholera. A surgeon named John Snow identified the source as the contaminated public water pump on Broad Street by mapping the deaths from cholera nearby.

Last week I took pics of a pub named after him and a replica water pump in the same location.

And Nate's favorite, Taste of Athens, is an Italian restaurant in Nothing Hill.

I also saw Sam's restaurant this week (a Polish restaurant that's been in London for decades.)

I visited The Prince's Head pub in Richmond today, which is the exterior location filmed for #TedLasso.

We still out here trying to keep up the MOMentum! Had a great walk around Lake Miramar. I’ve met my physical goal but still short financial goal. If I raise $169 more I’ll meet my $1k goal. If I raise $224 I’ll have raised $10k since 2012. Link in bio. Thanks to all that have & all that will donate!

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Homer Simpson saying, "OH, I SEE. THEN EVERYTHING IS WRAPPED UP IN A NEAT LITTLE PACKAGE."

Stop calling MTG a "voice of reason." She's acting like any cult leader who's been pushed out from an internal power struggle. She's promoted Sandy Hook as a hoax and Jewish space-laser conspiracies. She is nothing less than a complete loon, whom no one should take seriously.

Rogue Ales abruptly closes Newport operations and restaurants; owes hundreds of thousands in rent and taxes Rogue Ales & Spirits abruptly shut its massive Newport operations and all of its restaurants Friday.

Sad for the people losing their jobs, but their management has apparently treated employees terribly for a long time, so I'm not surprised.

Screenshot of Google Opinion Rewards asking the question, "Do you reside in Florida?", and the options available to answer are, "Yes", "No", and "I don't know".

Google Surveys includes the option of "I don't know" when asking if you reside in Florida. I've gotten this question for many others states and they always just give the options for "Yes" and "No".

Bottles of The Bruery's Black Tuesday for sale in a refrigerated beer section.

I will say, The Bruery has come a very long way when you can find #BlackTuesday just sitting on the shelf at Whole Foods. The smaller bottles are ideal, too.

Once again, Google Location couldn't figure out what method of transportation I was using between two airports. Time in the air was 44 minutes (at about 300 MPH.)

@nanglish.bsky.social I think you missed an opportunity with, "A business man. With a business plan."

You could've added "A business canal" to play off the palindrome, "A man, a plan, a canal, Panama".

Great episode!
