Looks like #Pikapods has a new #Todoist alternative, #Vikunja. Have been wanting a self-hosted task manager for ages, might check it out.
Although I have moved a lot of my stuff off of Pikapods to my own VPS or home server, I still like being able to try things easily via Pikapods without the struggle of initial setup.

"Somewhere in La Mancha, in a place whose name I do not care to remember, a gentleman lived not long ago, one of those who has a lance and ancient shield on a shelf and keeps a skinny nag and a greyhound for racing."
-- First sentence of Cervantes, *Don Quixote*

Finished *The Pearl* this morning. Loved it, and was especially smitten with his adventures in leitmotif: music of the pearl, music of the family, music of evil.
Replace the pearl with a ring and it has me thinking about Das Rheingold. Steinbeck used music a lot in *Cannery Row*, too, esp. classical references.
My first reading was ages ago. Definitely didn't remember that.
Apparently you can see the Steinbeck's personal music collection at the link, which is cool. Very eclectic! No Ring cycle in sight though. 😆

Absolutely loving the new Aesop Rock & Homeboy Sandman (aka LICE) EP, "Miami Lice: Season Four"
https://aesoprockhomeboysandman.bandcamp.com/album/miami-lice-season-four
I'm not a huge Homeboy Sandman fan but he works really well with Aesop. Production on this one is great.

The way you say the world is what you get.
What's more, you haven't time to change or choose.
The words swim out to pin you in their netBefore you guess you're in the TV set,
Lit up and sizzling in unfriendly news.
The mind's machine--and you invented it--Grinds out the formulae you have to fit,
The ritual syllables you need to use
To charm the world and not be crushed by it.This cluttered motorway, that screaming jet,
Those crouching skeletons whose eyes accuse;
O see and say them, make yourself forgetThe world is vaster than the alphabet,
And profligate, and meaner than the muse.
A bauble in the universe? Or shit?Whichever way, you say the world you get.
Though what there is is always there to lose.
No crimson name redeems the poisoned rose.
The absolute's irrelevant. And yet . . .-- Anne Stevenson, "Saying the World"

A few more sprouts over the last two days, including the PEPPERS:
* Siam basil
* Broccoli di cicco
* brussels catskills
* chard, burpee rhubarb
* peppers, fresno chili hot
- Peppers, korean beauty (3/6)
- peppers, midnight dreams
- Peppers, shishito
- peppers, thai hot
- spinach, nobel
- black simpson lettuce
- romaine cimarronAnd one lone seedling of delphinium.
The peppers really did all come up, at once, all in the space of a day. I don't know why but I find them very humorous that way.
Feeling like things are already getting leggy. Adding a fan to our shelves today to possibly help.

If you're a roots/Americana music sort of person -- or if you just plain love #fiddle and #banjo, no matter the setting -- you might enjoy this record:
Joseph Decosimo - Fiery Gizzard
https://josephdecosimo.bandcamp.com/album/fiery-gizzard
Voice really reminds me of Sam Amidon. Most of it is very low-key, quieter playing. Very skillful, very warm.
