Here’s something from an 11 year old blog post. (Folio.olio) I guess we were worried about paparazzi back then. But they might be useful these days too, to counter facial and body movement ID detection.

Sadly couldn't join myself (wife wasn't feeling good and wanted me to stay home and help parent while she napped) but my SAR team participated in a great inter-agency training this past weekend.
It's always nice to practice alongside volunteers from other teams that we work with on real incidents and get to know each other without the pressure of a real emergency.
One note: I half feel like there should be a CW on this post for mentioning law enforcement in a positiv…

The Last Living American White Male: A Novel of Obsolescence and Love
The title may make you uncomfortable. That was the point. For the past year, I have been living inside a grey city that exists only in my imagination, spending my days with a garbage man named Robert James Miller and an administrative processing unit named Alma.

"I may not know how to fix it, but I can throw a tantrum in the voice of a fast-talking, self-confident anglophone white male engineer.
that often gets results"

The man was also a “lawful gun owner” with a permit to carry the weapon, O’Hara said, adding that the victim’s name was known to police but would yet be released.

Some USA Olympic Hockey players playing for Canadian teams are in for a rough ride... and if you know enough about hockey and US players, you'll be able to guess who's on top of the shit list.
But this is the part that is actually important:

Beautiful weather. Great day to take down the Christmas lights before winter returns in full force.

Beautiful Numbness: The Book I Have Been Writing for Fifty Years
Every book has a birthday, but not every book has a conception date. Some books arrive late and fast, fully formed, demanding to be transcribed before they vanish. The Last Living American White Male was like that. Others accumulate across decades, assembling themselves in the background of a life, borrowing material from every stage and every failure and every standing ovation until the writer finally…
