BEAUTIFUL weather has found its way into Indiana somehow. I went for a run this morning in just shorts and Tshirt, and it was great! Beat my fastest starting mile by a bit.

Also, I think I was a good Samaritan, as I saw a cop sitting in the middle of the street after a hill, in a speed trap before construction. So while I ran down the street, I looked at drivers and Pointed down while mouthing "slow down". Surprisingly I think most got the picture (they were going 55+ though so who knows). Many waved at me or nodded. I hope they got the picture. On the way back down the road I wasn't able to signal them however, and I saw one fall victim to the trap.

Also doing 3 projects! My history one on the Soldiers and Sailors Monument, going well (due next Wednesday!)! My CS252 one on making a Resistance Web App, and I am 70% done with backend (due in a week). Lastly, my semester long group project where we are making a Social Media App aimed at hikers. That one is due next Friday! Crunch time people!

Captain America Civil War reviews are looking great, very excited! I wonder if it will shape civil war memory in any way. Or if they will be nonpolitical.

Lastly, I have been thinking about making the monday/friday threads sort by best again. They used to pull in around 300 comments, but now are pulling 100~. They Wondering Wednesday thread (sorted by best) is pulling in a lot, and that is remarkable because its a specific topic. I know we may not be in the golden age of Badhistory anymore (last july we were hitting 600k a month, now its 400k), but I am interested in seeing how we can boost community conversations and traffic. Or maybe it was just the summer bulge. We will see!
