This morning’s project is cleaning dog nose prints off the windows. We have just one dog, but his nose sure gets around.
Desperate times call for desperate measures: Borrowed chromebooks from the kids’ schools so they would stop fighting for the household shared Apple tech when doing schoolwork.
Our kids (age 10 and 13) convinced us to order 24 whoopee cushions. Today they’re driving around town, dropping them in friends’ doors and mailboxes. Because everyone needs a little whoopee these days…
We’ll be feeling the economic impact of this long after the disease itself is forgotten. I’ll bet more Americans will die from the economic impact (lost health care, suicide, malnutrition, economic-driven violent crime) than of the disease. Crazy.
Our daughter caught on a security camera, using a Skip-It to release some of that housebound energy.
The pasteboard security hole has bugged me for years. My radar (now FB5520772) has been open four years, and I’ve discussed with Apple engineers at WWDC. I hope this post generates interest. www.mysk.blog/2020/03/1…
Our local elementary school’s annual pancake breakfast this morning was cancelled, so we had our own. Pancake with blueberry and chocolate chips, fresh whipped cream, and caramel.
Trying a poorly-planned sous vide brisket. My usual container was too small so using a giant storage bin. Expectations are low, but I’ll know more tomorrow.
I walked by this new sign today, which is about as Debbie Downer as a historical sign can be without representing any actual tragedy.
Happy Purim! In this holiday we celebrate our ancestors rebelling against a bad man by eating a cookie shaped like his hat.
While on a walk through the local cemetery today, I ran across this large and nifty hunk of a tree trunk. Roughly five feet thick. Must have been a heck of a tree.
My car has two digital clocks. Each must be set separately via different controls. Neither know anything about Daylight Savings Time. The car also has a cellular connection, GPS, and regularly-connected CarPlay, all of which provide precision clock data. Ah, technology…
Random thought to restructuring democracy: President gets elected roughly same as now. After two years (a probationary term) the country has a confidence vote: keep or ditch the president. Must pass with a supermajority (60 or 66%) of the popular vote. Passes, gets another 2-4 years. Fails, an election in two months and the sitting president isn’t permitted to run. Deals with the electoral/popular vote issue, and forces an attempt to expand their base.
Whoo-hoo! I won something from the home of @jamesdempsey on @theweeklyreview! www.theweeklyreview.fm/2020/03/0…
What makes me happy today? I figured out how to tilt my office window to clean the outer glass, and now I can see the outside without the dirt! Hooray!
