Pearl Jam came out with a new album today. It's titled Dark Matter.
I'm not featuring a song from that album because I haven't listened to it yet.
So here's a couple of songs from Yield that I'm very fond of.
This blog will host my ramblings about life. To be a bit more specific, I'll probably focus on these subjects: music, sports, food, the everyday beauty of life, and the comedy/tragedy/absurdity of our existence. That about covers it.

There's an extensive article in The New York Times about carbon-capture technologies that are being backed my large conglomerates. It's titled, "Can We Engineer Our Way Out of the Climate Crisis?"
The short answer is No. But you can mash the link and read for the various opinions on these ventures.
Here's a noteworthy statement about these moves:

Based on this article in The Washington Post, "Cancun, Cabo, or Puerto Vallarta: Which Mexico Resort Is Best for You," if we go to Mexico again, I'm thinking Vallarta is place to be.
Man, I'm usually more productive on my blog during spring break, but that trend hasn't been the case this year.
Regardless, here's the opening track on Document, R.E.M.'s commercial breakthrough album.
I've been on a Noah Kahan kick lately.
So here's "Northern Attitude."
This is a variation of a recipe I got from The Washington Post. It's damn good.

Jackson Browne is such a great musician and songwriter. I got turned on to his stuff again after watching him perform on Austin City Limits.
Also, I think this would be a good tune to play after an umpire makes a bad call.
On Valentines Day, YouGov had its three daily questions focus on love and relationships and such.
The first question was, "Throughout your life, how many people have you been in love with?" Here's how the percentages broke down when I took the survey:
