    This ruins a lot of classic "they promised us flying cars" jokes. On the plus side, we can move on to some really great "flies like a car, drives like a plane" jokes.

    Update: some Googlers have chimed in and it looks like the ad portion was appended by my carrier to Google's 2FA message.

    Replying to @chrismlacy

    Amazing how hyper-localized the heat wave is. Looks like Bainbridge is reporting 79°F where 10 miles to the east Redmond is already at 104°. We're in Seattle and I'm reading 86°.

    A return-to-normal milestone: a majority in my Seattle neighborhood keeping their masks down while walking and not reflexively pulling them up when passing. Timing makes sense; we’re 5 weeks to the day since all adults became eligible.

    This Reddit thread on the Golden Gate Bridge reminds of the day I realized it was within walking distance of where we lived, so I just got up and walked there and walked across it and back. Took the afternoon but it was awesome.

    On the drive home, my kiddo wanted to hear guitar music. So I played him a broad sampling of Derek Trucks, Joe Pass, Van Halen, Joe Satriani, Jeff Beck, Jimi Hendrix. And finished with John McLaughlin (my fav) on Miles Davis' _Right Off_. And now he wants to play the trumpet.

    I just googled [best mountain bike for beginners] and the first link was full of more technical jargon than a ML paper, and the top recommendation had a starting price of $2999. Now googling [best walking shoes for beginners].

    You know what’s interesting? When this President makes a huge claim about the national response to this major health crisis I just sort of… believe it. Like, no expectation of lies or deceit. Just big news, delivered clearly and accurately, we cheer, and end of news cycle.

    President Biden says the United States will have enough COVID-19 for every adult in the country by the end of May.
