08: hate-listening to Bro Country - A song about a kid being force-fed nuggets and made to pray to supplicate himself to a medieval deity. Also, gathering more bluestone.

10: relentless rain at the cabin - I have to shut down the dock in the rain. I also leave the cabin much earlier than usual and get stuck in traffic.
