I should just carry around fresh cilantro and queso fresco to make everything better. Put it on my pasta. Put it on my tacos. Put it on my sad bank account. Put it on your grouchy uncle. Put it on the 2026 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid Woodland. Put it on the yard. Everywhere. It makes everything better.

We gotta bring back this color scheme. Even my junior high was purple and teal (and grey, all the way) in the '90s, man. It looked good.

Oh, good grief. THE WHOLE POINT OF A NATURAL SPACE LIKE A NATIONAL PARK IS TO GET AWAY FROM THINGS LIKE BASEBALL STADIUMS.

"TOOT BEEP HONK TOOT BEEP" down the side of the car cracked me up the entire weekend this car was running: pittalk.org/rally/full-s... Its bumper was labelled "BUMPA," too. Put more silly stuff on your hoon-cars, folks.

Ha, I just noticed that my FP (that's Fisher-Price class) Solo National Tour win was on the birthday of my first Fisher-Price Puffalump: www.autocrossrank.com/drivers/6692 (I didn't realize single-entry classes got wins! I just wanted to run the Porschelump in FP for the bit since it fit there.)

Abolish and prosecute ICE. Nothing short of that is going to cut it anymore. Austin is a pretty safe city when we don't have unmarked feds side-swiping cars out of seemingly nowhere.

I forgot to eat food today beyond a couple of meat sticks and a Thunderbird bar. The Mexican joint by the airport says they have enchiladas suizas. Let's attempt this.
A note to self posted from Jardin Corona in Austin to find good enchiladas suizas in Connecticut.

I might not starve to death after all, folks. I can have chips again.
Mazatlan's chips and BEAN DIP??? The salsa is watery and disappointing, but this bean dip is fabulous.

That's not how the engine should sit. Also, at least one axle has ceased to be. (Mazda3 1-2 in Stock FWD, though. It pulled the full Colin Chapman by breaking after the finish.)

Four words: Mount Washington Party Cabin. www.instagram.com/p/DdRKdIbjnX... I am full of good ideas. A well-preserved cottage and a caged Evo would, in fact, fix a lot of things. Also, it's adorable. Did I mention it's adorable? Don't change a thing.

If you move next to a race track and then complain about the noise or it being a "nuisance," you are a bunghole, full stop. I'm extremely here for the idea of a "right to race" law that'd shield tracks from frivolous nuisance lawsuits from bungholes. youtu.be/TClqZ3_VYNI?...

This deep-dive into unexpectedly punchy dijon mustard is FASCINATING. It's so much like wine! There are so many variables that affect production, and, well...I guess we may have to start getting used to spicier mustard. www.thestar.com/business/why...
thestar.com
My jar of mustard was so spicy it made my eyes water and sent me on an obsessive quest to find out why
The mustard was the same brand I buy every time, Maille Dijon Originale, but it was much, much stronger than usual.
