2025 peppernuts! Banana for scale.

Large bowl of peppernut cookies with a banana next to it. The peppernuts look delicious, crunchy and spicy.

I used a circa 1999 "Breadman" brand bread machine toal another load of Italian herb bread. This time it came out perfect. The bread machine is so old there isn't a URL on the label, just an 800 number.

Feeling a little queasy after last night's Laphroaig indulgence. Got my people's traditional GI tract remedy on hand.

Biscuits and gravy, Range Cafe, Albuquerque NM. Gravy was good, but the biscuits were spectacular. I got really good ham with it too.

Perhaps the dumbest fortune I've ever found. Not a fortune per se, as it does not predict or advise about the future. Not pseudo-asian mysticism. Can't even append "between the sheets" and get something funny

Fortune from a fortune cookie,stained with soy sauce, reading: "Procrastination is the fear of success".

Tucson Rock and Mineral show, saw this Xiphactinus fossil on sale.

Fossil skull, gill cover and pectoral fin of a Cretaceous fish, Xiphactinus. A misspelled sign says it's "Xiphactunus", and gives a $39,000 asking price.

The fish within a fish Xiphactinus at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science is different than the famous Xiphactinus at the Sternberg Museum in Hays, KS

Has my first Inca Kola at Rosario's Peruvian restaurant, Longmont CO, today. Very much like a Dr Brown's cream soda. Thumbs Up!

Cook's Country French onion soup. Clearly a respin of Cook's Illustrated magazine French onion soup. They simplified cooking down the 5 pounds of onions, but the flavor is still there. No balsamic vinegar in this one.

Cook's Country slow cooker beef stew. The original recipe calls for too much beef if you ask me. Parsnips and thyme are what makes this stew great. Don't skimp on either.

A purely recursive mergesort on the same machines does not exhibit the performance drops. Performance is repeatable on all 3 machines.

Daily coding problem: write mergesort for a linked list, using O(1) extra space. I wrote an iterative mergesort. It has odd drops in performance on 3 different machines.
