Made it home safe from Nova Scotia this afternoon. Great vacation with the fam, drove 2222 km exploring a large part of the mainland parts. Really enjoyed all the time there.

We just watched a 30minute episode of Jeopardy and Ken Jennings was hosting. Through the whole broadcast he didn’t blink once when on camera. I think perhaps he is in fact a robot.

Just finished Silo on AppleTV+ and I can’t recommend it highly enough I really enjoyed it. I read the book it was based on as well and remember enjoying it but at this point it was so long ago I don’t recall places where the stories diverged. I would say it’s worth picking up AppleTV to check it out
