#301

Quit drinking coffee today. Been planning to for awhile, and now it's happening. The attendant headache has been more or less held at bay throughout the waking hours by naps, careful hydration, and pills. 

Don't have much more beyond that, because my brain is behaving more or less like a poorly fried egg. We'll try again tomorrow.

Suppose the only things of value or interest to say today are as follows:

• Was gonna buy a bicycle today, any whatever Huffy or Mongoose off the wall at the box store would have fit the bill. I didn't, though, because petition-signature-seekers in the parking lot made me so upset that I couldn't concentrate on anything. Maybe it's for the best, I don't know. 
• The Shield of Achilles is a good book so far.
• Speaking of books, I ordered a couple, published by the Santa Fe Institute. I'm excited for them. They come tomorrow. They are also concerned with history. Other stuff, too.

Alright! I'll try to do better than that tomorrow, but that was a monumental effort considering how I feel today.

Peace!
