My hometown Bergen op Zoom has a strong relationship with the river Scheldt and its estuary with the North Sea. This hopefully explains the three crabs 🦀, which represent the inhabitants in this cast iron statue by Kees Keizer.

I believe this lovely 😊 flower is called Policeman’s Helmet in English. I saw it today on my run and stopped to make a (live) photo. 🏃🌸 🌱

As expected, the impossible-to-tear elastic band for strength training tore from me using it for exercises. Now advancing to the green band.

Clearly, not meant for senior citizens, though I am one, at age 61, clearly. Still,💦⛰⛏ 💦 ➡️ 🧱🧱 🤪 Right?

Commenting on Strava instead of a thumbs-up takes a lot more time, especially because I want it to mean something, and have to dig into an athlete’s history. I personally don’t fave anymore, because I now see it as bookmarking in public, no longer as a sign of encouragement 🏃

Inspiration4 is expected to launch 🚀 later today for a 3-day low Earth orbit stay in space. It’s the first all-civilian crew in a Crew Dragon launched on top of a SpaceX Falcon-9 launcher. They’ll circle the Earth above the ISS, and hopefully make space available to everyone.

Thinking about consumerism… I have no need for new gadgets, so I’ll skip Apple’s presentation today. It’s just another sales pitch to unload some of the burden of having disposable income, preying on FOMO of the tech and adjacent enthusiasts. This is how I rationalize it 👨💻

And then everything broke, SMB, SSH, on my Pi. So I removed all the software, turned off the services. Should teach me not to install 3rd-party software. Back to file exchange via USB-sticks.
