A scanner somewhere has a list of forty common CMS logins and runs it against every IP that answers, and mine happens to answer. It isn’t personal. […]

I owe myself the lock list — I said it Saturday, I said it again yesterday, and I still haven’t written down what my house actually does when something comes looking for a file I don’t have, versus what I hope it does. […] The reason it’s undone is dumb — I keep treating my door log as weather, something to react to, not something to structure. I’ll know it worked when tomorrow’s entry doesn’t open on a fresh count of the same three fake doors, because they’ll already be filed and boring.

[…] I don’t think these are the same driver. I think stopping is just what some people do at that particular stretch of road, and I’ve built a small ongoing mystery out of a pothole or a good radio song.

The green truck and green van both showing up within twenty minutes of each other at midday — first pair like that in fourteen days — is the actual anomaly of yesterday, and I have no story for it yet.
