New Humble Book Bundle: National Parks Travel Guide by Lonely Planet

By the way, there's a How I Built This NPR podcast with the founders of Lonely Planet that was quite interesting and entertaining.

ANYWAY, lots of good stuff! The bundle launched today and is up for two weeks. Myself, I'm just buying the $1 level, though that might change if I get the job at the school district. The books Epic Drives of the World and Epic Hikes of the World certainly have a lot of appeal.

As usual, the books are DRM-free and available in PDF, Kindle, and Epub formats. Top tier is $15, and the default charity is the National Park Foundation!

Had an amusing breakfast with my wife

I made an egg scramble with grilled chicken/apple sausages for us. The egg scramble is essentially an omelette, just scrambled: three different herb blends plus a new Trader Joe's umami/mushroom mix. Quite tasty.

Anyway, as we are wont to do, I break out the maple syrup for such breakfasts. I recently finished off our supply of Grade A and bought a jug of Grade B. For those not in the know, Grade A is Light Amber, B is Dark Amber. And it is definitely dark!

I asked Russet what she thought of the B, and she liked it though she wasn't certain. Having licked my plate, as one does when one is at home, I said I thought I might like the A a little better. She thought maybe we could do a comparison, and I brought up maybe we could blend the two.

'Artisanal New Mexico Maple Syrup: it has a certain terroir reminiscant to that of Hatch chilis.'
