@KWShepherd knitted together an incredible show with Bobby Rush's old delta blues, his own blues rock and then bringing them together in the encore. I had a fantastic time at the @uptowntheaterkc

@Adkron Next step, "I submitted a PR to fix a bug in your software today." Which I think would be icing on the cake!

Taken with Pixel 9 Pro in North Central Missouri over the weekend. @GooglePixel_US

@dukeness You watched both?

Cool temp in St Louis this morning has me craving "kuchen". Family recipe of sweet dough covered with cinnamon, brown sugar and heavy cream

This is where they store extinguishers, hoses, and flame.

@dukeness Some context, Bourbon is the name of the town. Still funny! Reminds me of the fried chicken, beer, ammo store that was in Rolla, MO when I was attending college.

@Adkron Real estate near the ma-bell switching office would have been higher if everyone else knew my modem was getting the high speeds it was.

When the liquid soap dispenser has to be slammed repeatedly to get ALMOST enough soap to wash your hands... That is the last responsible moment to refill it. Anytime earlier is just crazy.

When all else fails, RTFM. (My @kinesisergo Advantage Pro had started treating caps lock like an extra page down key - program+shift+F10)

Reducing cyclomatic complexity means little if you don't abstract it to remove it from the complexity under test. Look deeper than parking logic in another private method.

[James Wilson @jwmach1]

Changing the sample service response to make the test easier does NOT mean the ACTUAL service response will be handled correctly by our client. (Inherited source code) #tdd
