I don’t have much to say today, but allow me to present you with these two pieces of information, nonetheless:

1. That it is John Ronald Reuel Tolkien’s 132nd birthday; and
2. That I have been filling my hours with Far Cry 5 when I haven’t been reading lately, and I have just acquired a pet, to wit, an enormous grizzly bear named Cheeseburger. The game lets you pet him when you aren’t siccing him on cultists. I am content.
