Most of today was about cleaning up the patio for spring/summer, so the heat was welcome while spraying down the tiles (spouse did the spraying, I did the go-fering). Once we get the Thermacell mosquito repeller, it'll be perfect to just hang out there for the next several months and do some grilling. Other things to note today:

• Watson is alright but also definitely a corny medical procedural. Due to being set in Pittsburgh, we checked out the far more intense (and good!) The Pitt. Only got a couple episodes in for The Pitt but am looking forward to watching more soon.

• Also, due to watching through Mythbusters lately, checked out White Rabbit Project. I liked the Build Team but the way they set up the show is really weird and underwhelming. Wouldn't recommend due to disappointment. Did learn about the really cool story of a hot air balloon escape from East Germany, so not a total loss.

• Today is National Gummi Bear Day apparently - here's a video about their history:

• Another one of today's unique designation is Morse Code Day - if you've never learned it, here's a chart for the International Morse Code alphabet for reference to get started with:

Happy Sunday and here's to hoping for a decent week. - A.B. 4/27/25
