Hi, everyone!
I found another horrendous tennis trophy! Here’s Casper Ruud with his prize at the San Diego Open earlier this week.

Ramble of the Day
A question for a Friday: What’s your preferred internet activity so you can zone out for a few minutes? (For example, something like viewing Zillow listings, playing snake on Google, or visiting this website.)
Currently, what I like to do is do a Google image search of random cities I haven’t been to. I do it to get the most basic feel of a place, especially if I’m reading or hearing about it in any way. I know it’s no way to get a comprehensive idea of a city, but I’m trying to suppress my inner travel bug at the moment. Having an idea of a city’s skyline and some of its architectural features goes a long way for me if, for example, I’m reading an article about that place.
I have very briefly considered expanding this search to YouTube, but also decided that may make this a longer hobby than the few minutes I need to give my brain a break.
tl;dr: What’s your preferred way to zone out on the internet for a few minutes? For me, it’s looking up random cities on Google images.
