I never noticed A Touch of Texas, from Seven Days Leave (1942) playing in the background before! Of course by the time I typed that the song changed... #TheSet-Up #TCMParty

I've only ever learned one thing watching boxing-and it may be wrong. Don't bet against the fighter with longer reach. Isn't Ryan at least 6'3"? #TheSet-Up #TCMParty

#AdventOfCode day 12 #RStats

Time-poor today too as I'm off out again for the evening in a bit (this >social life< stuff is killing me!) so I only had time to finish off day 12, not to start on day 13, which puts me a full day behind. Will TRY to catch up tomoz.

day 12 code = ugly but it works :)
