SSAB - August 4, 2026

How ya feeling, Steve? Cat got you going?

Apartment negotiations continue… what will I settle for?

About those gyms, is there only one? No. Quite a few but no others with the actual workout equipment.

Any update on the Chinese work visa… NO!

What are the books you’re reading right now?

And Folklorama begins, the crowning glory of the city.
