Another bumblebee busy collecting pollen.

Bevcomm is the Internet provider for our cabin and I met with the tech yesterday to help with the site assessment for installing fiber! It is likely still a year away, but we will be getting a massive jump from DSL with speed choices up to 1 Gbps! I’ll be upgrading the network in preparation. ⚡️

Wild milestone.

Apple, an American tech giant, surpassed $3trn in market value for the first time since January 2022, when it briefly became the first publicly listed company to do so. Shares in the iPhone-maker subsequently slipped back, but they have increased in value by almost 50% this year, despite two consecutive quarters of declining revenues. The firm is now worth $500bn more than Microsoft, a tech rival. — Economist Espresso, July 1, 2023

$3 trillion? 💰💰💰

Bumble Bee busy harvesting pollen in the yard this morning. 🐝

This video short from Minneapolis artist Matt Semke (catswilleatyou) is incredible. The music is haunting.

Happy Tau Day everyone! 🤓

I didn’t realize that Athletic Brewing had so many unique NA beers if you ordered direct. I got my first variety shipment today. The Tropical Sour was great. Will definitely be ordering direct more.

Ominous.

We grabbed this final family selfie as we were leaving the floor of the Taylor Swift show at 11:21:50 PM.

We had to wind through a fairly long winding walkway, and then luckily they let us back into the stadium so we didn’t have to go out into the pouring rain. We also found a merch table!

I looked down at the floor, 28 min 39 sec after the first picture, at 11:50:29 PM.

The tear down crew is fast!

On Saturday afternoon we had no big plans for the night. We were going to make dinner for Tammy’s folks and visit, but that was it. The night before my brother-in-law Hector had got a last minute ticket to go to the Taylor Swift show. His report was glowing, and Hector has been to a lot of shows. Tammy threw out the idea that we should see about last minute tickets.

At 6:24pm I grabbed four floor tickets (FLOOR A9, ROW 9) on SeatGeek and at 6:29pm Ticketmaster transferred them to my account. We were at Tammy’s folks house, and Tayler goes on stage at 7:50pm. We needed to stop at home too.

YOLO! 🤩

Tasty morning waffles for Graduation Party from YOUniverse Foodie Waffles!

The decision to not get dinner before this show and get food here, in hindsight, was very consequential. ☹️

Guy gave me his hat while waiting in line for pizza at Somerset Amphitheater. Said he bought it today and it was too big for him. Fit me good. Is this typical in Wisconsin? 🤩

I have never seen such slow and long lines for food at an event. Outlaw Music Festival 2023, Somerset Amphitheater — food trucks are not fast enough for a massive concert crowd.
