NOTES FROM LIFE, ETC.

1. Had a very late (~ 1400 / 2 PM MST) breakfast at The Daily Grind [4360-A Cutler Ave NE, Albuquerque, NM] — ∅14.28 was the bill^[1].

   I ordered a Build Your Own Omelet with ham, bacon, sausage, green chile, onions, and cheese. It came with home fries (potato cubes) and toast (I ordered the “Rustic,” which seemed to be rye bread).

   I would recommend The Daily Grind to friends and family.

2. After brunch at The Daily Grind, I went next door to Calibers [4340 Cutler Ave NE, Albuquerque, NM], looking for a replacement holster for my Glock 17, and possibly trading in my G17 for something with mounting rails for a light or laser, and able to accept a red-dot sight.
3. I walked 5,062 steps today.
