Lagovulin is "interesting" and distinctive stuff.  I picked up a bottle of Woodford rye whiskey.  The clerk asked me if I knew it was rye and not bourbon, which I appreciated.  I like their rye quite a lot, it is slightly different.

I like vanilla in whiskey and a touch in wine, but not beer.

Spring is springing around here, a lot of trees are coming out.  Tulips are all over.  It should be a nice time of year.
Winds has been blowing out of the North for two days.It has been sunny in the 30s but with the wind C-C-C-COLD

Currently working out of Ft Worth till mid April, essentially living with my girlfriend for the time being. Visited my 69 y/o father a few times, he's doing good. Ex wife's job will be letting her work from home so the school's in Phoenix getting cancelled aren't too much of an issue for us. 

Route I'm working with the RR is Ft Worth south to Temple, interesting city. Driven through quite a few times but never actually visited.

I wish. Unfortunately our tracks don't go through West. At about West's latitude our tracks are 28 miles to the west near Clifton.

A. I am confused by this, because at this start it's fact based and then end is misinformation based and I can't tell where one starts and the other ends (oh God is that the point?!)

B. By volume, there is a lot of misinformation, but that's because the volume of information in the internet is basically unfathomable. Just huge swaths of raw information. Shakespeare and Sartre, calculus and chemistry, huge chunks of most of the things you learned in elementary and high school are available. More news than has ever been available, live looks into things, the ability to communicate in unprecedented ways. Dynamic housing prices, the ability to procure and offer goods and services with ease. There's so much, we have trouble figuring out what we need to process.
But none of that is Twitter.
The critique is not that the internet is a disaster, but that social media is (are) a disaster.

DF:

IIRC, Temple has a nicely preserved AT&SF 4-6-2 "Pacific" steam locomotive on display.

I think Temple was a major RR hub at one point.  Is that the case today?

The conversation started with "the internet--specifically social media--is really good at spreading misinformation and mass hysteria, and pretty weak at spreading useful, fact-based information."

Social media is worse to be sure. It asks more of its consumers, and we are not so discerning.

I like OUR social media. As in, this site.

And.. I've got a slight fever. 99.8. F'ing awesome.

My partners and I just agreed on a conference call to become a work-from-home company for the time-being.

I'm cancelling next week's trip to Florida. 

Dammit.
