Cheers governor Folks and then I am drinking about one third left, but it's late. It is late It's past my bedtime almost and so I don't want to drink caffeine so similarly to Ben I I'm going I'm going to put my caffeinated beverage down, but then it's only half coffee It's also half Roasted chicory root broth which I love to make as well. So it's like a half Calf, I guess you could call it. So it's like a warm Autumnal but my hands are on the old so warm because I have a hot plate in the kitchen that I have a small pan with water in it and when my hot coffee gets cold then I I mosey into the kitchen and set my cup down in the in the pan of simmering water so that when I went just Minutes ago to retrieve it It's all warm. I hold it in your hand, but you know red wine is also something to switch to And I may or may not if I think about you Ben when I'm done with the net I may for like half a glass of merlot and sip it in your honor and And I hope I have the presence of mind to what next time we run into each other and there's time for a conversation To pick your brain about being a journalist journalism You know, I'm reading a lot of Carl Hiaasen stories and he was a columnist and part of the investigative team for the Milwaukee Herald and Every time I just finished reading I wonder where the protagonist in a story is a journalist Jack Tiger was that was a Basket case which I don't know if you like reading about journalism, but I mean it's a novel It's a it's a sardonic Darkly hilarious Spy Entertainment is Graham Greenwood. I think Graham Greenwood called them entertainment instead of sounding serious sounding like a spy novel or Whatever anyway, and it was fun because the protagonist in In basket case is a journalist so it's kind of almost autobiographical Anyway, so I've got journalism on my brain lately been because I've been reading all this Carl Hiaasen but I even have a volume of his His first of three volumes of his columns so like they're like collected essays and it's the same sardonic tone he's an environmentalist and and the political columnist and and I miss the days of Civil political conversations. That's the problem with what's happening now It's just shouldn't be a fight or a shooting match. It should be an exchange of views like science. But anyway, oh And it's called the first I'm going to circumlocute I'm going to Not see the actual title of his first volumes of his collected essays or columns if you will But that it rhymes with kick-mass All right. Take care of Ben And I'm where to Jeff 86 MB whilst I'm doodling and making Jeff's name under Ben's name in my log more and more ornate Jeff You should see it.
