Mostly here to read your posts and post dog photos. My posts only represent the views of said dog. And she only cares about pets, walks, & rides in her Rivian R1S.

I also do stuff in the cloud at AWS & help others do stuff in AWS. But views here=🐩’s.

I’m enjoying my local UPS guy’s progressively less-blurry pics of his truck interior/knee/leg for the “delivery” photos over the past week.
First there was a blurry lower leg, beneath a portion of a blurry steering wheel. Second there was more steering wheel with only a portion of a calf beneath, in the sunlight. Third there was a clear right knee, partially sunlit, below a steering wheel Fourth there is another right knee next to a water bottle in a cup holder. We all know hydration is important.

Wet walk earlier today
A light brown standard poodle sitting and looking happily at the camera. The fur atop her head and running down the sides through her ears is a bit droopy and wet.

Interoperability

xkcd.com/3105/
4-panel comic. (1) PERSON WITH BLACK HAT: Compatibility and interoperability are so important. (2) [Black hat shows diagram to two people] BLACK HAT: For example, most subway rails are 143.5cm apart. But many roller coasters use a narrower 110cm gauge. (3) BLACK HAT: For the last few years, our company has been quietly retrofitting roller coasters to use 143.5cm tracks. (4) BLACK HAT: Soon, we can begin Phase 2. PERSON 2: Maybe interoperability is actually bad. BLACK HAT: If you listen to the destination announcement while boarding, you’ll be fine.

Time to go outside.
A standard poodle sits by a door, looking up at the camera, waiting. She is tan and furry, except for her snout, which is cut short. She wears a big red and white striped bow beneath her collar.

Feels like an early April Fools joke… will Rivian show up on the 1st or on the 2nd? Only the technician really knows.
Screenshot of a chat with Rivian with a reminder for a mobile service appointment on 4/1/2025, even though the appointment is, according to a previous chat message, for 4/2/2025. Screenshot of me asking if my appointment is for 4/1 or 4/2. Rivian replies that the appointment is 4/1.

The last time we in Louisiana had snow like this was the 1960s, according to state climatologist Jay Grymes.

The Martin Luther King Jr memorial, pictured at night from below, showing the man standing, arms crossed, holding a scroll in his right hand “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” “True peace is not merely the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice.” “I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant.” Norway, 1964

“I doubt if any other book or books will ever grasp my interest as much...Each time I finish a reading I immediately feel as if I hadn’t read them for weeks and I am lonely for them — lonely for the characters within the books, the tremendously vivid descriptions, the whole essence."
