walkitoutI walked with M., but no indoor visit.
I walked with R.
I lost a ton of time today to a series of rabbit holes; I already posted about Dreamstar Lines (I did do some laundry, so it wasn’t a complete loss, and the Pixel tablet and stand arrived and I got it partly set up, so there’s that, too). One of the rabbit holes involved the Galactic Starcruiser rumors; late in January, Disney pulled a permit to hire some awning company in Sanford to do general construction and this led to a bunch of sites spinning a bunch of theories about what was next. No one knows — literally, probably, I would imagine things are still in flux generally — but I went and looked at the website of the awning company and specifically the commercial gallery and they do, among other things, awnings for rectangular block buildings of the hotel type, where every single fucking window needs some kind of awning above it because Florida. The Galactic Starcruiser did not need those because no one inside was looking outside. I think the rumors suggesting maybe Disney will repurpose the Starcuiser building as office space is pretty plausible. I hope they reuse the interiors in future restaurants, shows, rides, on Disney Cruises, etc.
Next up! I read some stuff about NightJet and ODD selling its sleeper cars but R. found some stuff about ODD newer sleeper cars.

I have skimmed but not read it yet.
