    Some books I love

    I haven't produced much content lately. Just not feeling "pony." Been working on some space opera I might post to Royal Road or Amazon or something someday.

    In light of my recent lack of content, have some of my favorite books:

    Me: What did you learn in school today?

    Kid: We learned about "SPQR" in ancient Rome.

    Me: Romanes eunt domes!

    Wife: What?

    Me: Don't worry about it.

    Bibliophilia across generations

    Kid: Daddy, I want to go to Barnes and Noble, please.
    Me: Sure. Why?
    Kid: I want to read the first book in the "Warrior Cats" series.
    Me: Reading is always encouraged in the house. Get in the car.

    Kid: Finished! Can we order the next few books in the series?
    Me: <pride>

Ikr its gotten so much worse. Cant find anything good on a good sale. Even the steam sales kinda bad rn, not much I want has a higher than 30% discount anymore.

I only bought something today because it was for my sister's wedding gift registry, and Amazon is where they were selling it. Normally I never use them because they treat their workers so terribly. I'll gladly wait a few extra days for an order from Target under normal circumstances.

I got an Instant Pot from prime day a few years ago. Never been able to replicate that.

I have feet like a yeti and only Amazon carries extra-extra-extra-for realsies EXTRA-wide shoes.

I prefer B&H for cameras and gear, usually.

I did find a really good deal on an inverter generator. 8750 watts, list price is $1500, for $845. Pretty happy with that. Other than that picked up a couple other things and a gift card deal, but nothing to get too excited about.
