An errand took us near Industry City on Saturday. So, we stopped by for lunch and poked around some of the shops. That is where we met the Audio Diver pictured here.
I softened my YouTube ban in the last couple weeks by not totally blocking it on my computer. Unsurprisingly, I started slipping back into old ways. There are so many “interesting” things to click on in YouTube. Go there to watch something specific; the next thing you know, it’s midnight and you’re watching 35 minute clips about running an all sourdough bakery in Arizona.
My new strategy involves following the few channels I really care about with RSS. That lets me watch their new videos without being tempted by the constant stream of related or “you might also like” stuff they serve up.

Yeah, it was a raid. The masked, government thugs have added the sale of knockoff bags and watches to the long list if violent crimes for which they disappear people (like standing, walking, etc.).
