Sleep 0430 to 1030. 30 min nap. (6-1/2 hours)

• I was thinking, since baseball gambling odds are +/- (e.g. +126 = bet $100 to win $126, -149 = bet $149 to win $100) and it only matters if your team wins or losses, then why doesn't football and basketball do the same thing? At least for that common gambling use case it would make point shaving less likely or weird plays that ruin the spread.

Sleep 0330 to 1330. (10 hours)

• Girl by Moonlight is finally in the USA and ready to ship so final PDFs have been released to backers.

Sleep 0415 to 1145. (7-1/2 hours)

• Bundle of Holding: Flying Circus ($13) - Apocalypse Engine RPG that combines WWI fighter planes and a fantasy world. The bundle is the RPG core book + three supplements with high-altitude rules and lots of aircraft (I guess each aircraft is a separate character play book).

Sleep 0615 to 1345. (7-1/2 hours)

• Problem is getting people to go to exact Discord thread so they can post submissions for an event. I can get a link to that goes to the thread assuming you are registered on the target Discord. Invite links can go to a Discord channel but not a thread (from mobile Twitch client it goes to Discord app but not anywhere in particular).
• Don't see a way around it. Currently our help command has thread link and goes on to say if link doesn't work try to register with our !discord, which implies you need to type!discord to get invite link. It's just that people are very bad about following instructions.

Sleep 0345 to 1215. 30m nap. (9 hours)

• Candlestick Chronicles podcasts now often (always?) have a promotion to a podcast tacked on at the end so it's an extra 20m to 30m of an actual other podcast. Not sure if it's the same podcast all the time or different ones from their network. One time I listened for a minute it was some financial podcast.

Sleep 0115 to 0715. (6 hours)

• Left about 1030 to go pick up Dave S.
• Stop at Tracy Starbucks. There is a Fish and Chips place in the same building but I was kind of full.
• Stop at Manteca Chevron. I think gas was $6.10 per gallon though other places were up to $1 less.
• Stop at The Haps Boba Tea & Bites in Twain Harte. Kind of a nice place in a small woodland town.
• Picked up Dave S at the Sonora Pass Trailhead (38.329350, -119.635070) and at over 7k feet high I was out of breath walking 100 yards. I got there about half an hour before Dave S so pretty good timing especially since there is no cell connection in that area.
• Went 10 miles and stopped at Kennedy Meadows Resort & Pack Station. Restaurant opens at 1700 (we got there at 1600). We had a drink at the bar then decided to drive back to Dave S's place for dinner. He bought a bunch of junk food since he was a bit starving.
• After getting back to Pleasant Hill at 2030 we went to Taqueria Los Gallos Express (in Concord) which is open late (tried Tom's Crab Shack but it was closed early today).

Sleep 2330 to 0430. 0915 to 1100. (6-3/4 hours)

• C3 and Steph in Legoland (San Diego, CA) today and this weekend.
• Novel Writing Game Tools presents these solo and group journaling games as tools for writers. Makes it less interesting but probably not my genre of games anyway.
