The ongoing saga of a programmer who doesn't live in Boston, nor does he even like Boston, but yet named his weblog/journal “The Boston Diaries.”
Go figure.
The Honey Hole building is coverned in murals. On one side of the building is this bit of mural:
![[A larger than life little girl standing on a step ladder, back to the viewer, looking into a hole, with some bees buzzing around her] If I didn't know better, these “honey bees” look more like “killer hornets.”](/2021/06/17/honeyhole2.jpg "If I didn't know better, these “honey bees” look more like “killer hornets.”")
And on the other side of that wall (inside the restaurant) is this mural:
![[A larger than life face of a little girl, staring at a bee on the end of her nose, with honey combs puring out honey all around] There is nothing worse than a bee hive in the walls—you hear all this buzzing yet no bees can be seen, driving one mad. Please don't ask me how I know this—oh god, I'm getting flashbacks!](/2021/06/17/Honeyhole1.jpg "There is nothing worse than a bee hive in the walls—you hear all this buzzing yet no bees can be seen, driving one mad. Please don't ask me how I know this—oh God, I'm getting flashbacks!")
It's a neat concept, but it cuts a bit too close to home for me.

You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent links to that entry only. The format for the links are simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are interested in, say 2000/08/01, so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that important.
