My Now page features this photo this week, but it was too good not to share more widely. This is from my morning walk in the local greenbelt in #HendersonvilleTN, near #Nashville

Time for a new #introduction:
Hi, I'm Michael and I’m on a #jobsearch.
For the past ten years I’ve been a full stack #webDeveloper for a company in #Nashville that sells #prepping supplies.
They went from a startup to a well-established brand, then the economy started collapsing.
I love working with #vue and #nuxt, but I’m great with #react and pretty much any modern #js framework.
Open to #remoteWork in the US and local in-office work in the #nashvilleTN area.

Freelance is (in this case) another word for "unemployed"
but I'm staying busy

@Naureckas Conservative Rage Against (?) the Machine should place their job ad 
in Branson, #Missouri. It’s the conservative (fake) version of #Nashville.
Just trying to help.

@benroyce He should run the ad in Branson, #Missouri , aka ‘Conservative (Fake) #Nashville.’
One of the super insightful people we heard on Friday afternoon at an AES event.

Abner Jay claimed not to know his own birthday, but he did on one occasion describe himself as "25 years older then you think."

"...out of all the creatures on earth...every creature on earth has sex lives except one creature, and that's a mule. That's why a mule's face is so long. When you see a man or woman with a long face, they ain't hittin' on nothin'! Look how long my face done got since my woman been gone. And the longer my woman be gone, the longer my face gon' get." -Abner Jay

Here's the title track, "The Backbone Of America Is A Mule And Cotton" in its entirety. It's the only original song on the album, but gives you a pretty good glimpse at Jay's personality.

Feeling really lucky to have come across this artifact. Traditional songs have, by definition, been done to death, but Jay's renditions are entrancing. His rendition of How Great Thou Art nearly brought this atheist to tears.
The Wikipedia article on the man reveals so much more you'd never know from looking at his own autobiography and notes. Take a look if you've got a few minutes to learn some American history nobody's trying to teach you.

Some of Jay's recordings were complied for release in 2009 for an edition called "True Story of Abner Jay." The release includes a two-page autobiography by Jay. It's good reading.
Here's a thoughtful review with some excerpts and whatnot

On the back cover are what I assume to be Jay's own notes

Just found this at the thrift for $2, and subsequently went down the rabbit hole learning who Abner Jay was. Seems like he was a real character !

Despite being in introvert people burnout, went to a public meeting tonight to give feedback on a redesign proposal for the East Bank of the Cumberland River. If you live in Nashville and think it’s a bad idea to put a 6-lane road thru the middle of a new neighborhood, please check this out and give your feedback: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/EastBankBoulevard #Nashville

A little cooler today at 15C/59F for a 14.4km/8.9mi walk. I lingered at 9'14" per km and a moderately light 100 BPM (66%). Sheesh, I know people who have a resting heart rate of 100 BPM.
Last day for the Brooks Ghost shoes. Nice cushioning, light-weight, but the fit was horrible. Back to the Hoka Bondis.
