France vs. USA has been as exciting as I hoped in the first 19 minutes. Both sides are flying up the field on the attack. US leads 1-0 off a brilliant Rapinoe free kick, but it’s going to take multiple goals to win this one.

Started watching the new Das Boot show on Hulu last night based on the TV Talk Machine podcast recommendation. It’s a pretty compelling look at Nazi life at a U-Boat base (and underwater)- I’ve already watched the first couple episodes and will probably watch more tonight.

Discovered that Lime has removed all the hubs around GU’s campus this morning. Not entirely surprised because there has been a ton of unsupervised underage usage during the team basketball camps this week. Unfortunate given all the hubs that are also out of service for Hoopfest.

I’m pretty sure my grandma (Granny Gilman) was doing emoji as far back as 40 years ago, but here’s some physical evidence from 1997!

We’ve got a thunderstorm on the way, but apparently Spokane’s Doppler radar is down for maintenance through next week. It’s totally calm here at the moment though so pretty weird not to know how far off the rain is.

Watched The Damned United this afternoon and it was a really good lesson on hubris, obsession, and redemption. I knew of the book it was based on, but didn’t know the full history behind it or about the coaching friendship/partnership that was the emotional core of the story.

Finally completed my long running eBike build project and it is as fast and awesome as I had hoped. After some shorter rides I expect to do my first commute speed run tomorrow evening if the weather allows (thunderstorms are forecast for the afternoon).

Huge penalty goal for Megan Rapinoe puts the USA up 2-1 with 76 minutes to go.

Super gross giveaway goal by a careless USWNT defense, but the shot itself was stellar.

My favorite part about The LEGO Movie 2 is the extremely catchy, amusingly meta pop music (Catchy Song gave me the biggest grin) and the fact that it goes full-on musical.
