🏀 I'm kind of excited for Team Canada's basketball team- four GU guys got tryout invites (Olynyk, Pangos, Clarke, and Wiltjer) and they have more NBA talent than ever before. Looking forward to seeing what they do at the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2019.

🛴 The Strong road construction that's been going on up on 5-Mile Prairie all summer is maddening. Makes driving around the already tricky to navigate neighborhoods a real challenge when you shut down the one unifying arterial. Glad I don't go that way often, but do enjoy the view.

The more I research Scuttlebutt/Manyverse the more I wish there was already an iOS version that could be my primary means of accessing the network. Instead trying to figure out which laptop I will use for now.

📺 32 Emmy nominations for the last season of Game of Thrones is absolutely preposterous. As is no nominations for Westworld. And Gwendoline Christie having to nominate herself despite doing some of the most deserved work in the final season is terrible, but fitting. Hope she wins!

Love it when I've updated my install setup policy right before configuring a bunch of new Macs only to learn there's a new software update out today that already makes my updated setup out of date.

🏀 Houston pairing Russell Westbrook with James Harden still seems crazy to me, but I guess the Chris Paul situation wasn't working so something had to give. OKC and their draft pick trove is interesting from a team reconstruction exercise; Presti is a great GM, but hope it hurts.

I could really go for a nap right now, but I'll probably just have some more coffee.

⚽ So far Belgium is looking superior in most facets of the game like I suspected they would, but England is still competing. (1-0)

🚴🏻 Experienced my first flat on my eBike tonight. Unfortunately it was the rear tire so that made for a maximum difficulty repair. Then I discovered there was a second staple and hole after I had patched and completely reassembled the bike- so I gave up and called for a ride.

The more I read about Nadine Woodward's conservative positions in her run for mayor of Spokane (particularly in regard to the homeless and local press), the more disgusted I am to see how Trump-like her tv personality with no experience candidacy is.
