TIL about George Appel, a convicted murderer executed by electric chair in 1928, who's last words were "Well, gentlemen, you are about the see a baked Appel". A tip of the hat to you, sir.

Oct 24, 2020, 10:44 PM -04:00 Things I Learned In Lockdown
While it's perhaps inaccurate to call the current Covid-19 crisis "unprecedented" (given that the Spanish Flu outbreak in 1918 led to many of the same measures), I think it's reasonable to say that it's unprecedented in my lifetime - and I'm not exactly young.
Accordingly, in these heady times, I don't think it's uncommon to discover a thing or two about yourself. Hell, introspection is almost inevitable, given the circumstances.
In that vein, this is my "Things I Learned In Lockdown" post. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

Sep 22, 2020, 7:52 PM -04:00 I'm not entirely sure that I am. I've fried thick slices so they develop a crust. The result is tasty enough, but not great.
