They're not great, but they're better than the Lando Calrissian books from that era.

I can't believe I didn't catch that! Here's something I wrote a couple years ago:

One of the characters in this Star Wars novel I'm reading is named "Teneniele", and I'm disappointed that the author hasn't found a way to work "the captain and Teneniele" into the narrative.

I would totally play Endeavor Derp Sea. And Endeavor Deep Sea, since it's been in my collection ever since the Kickstarter ended and I still haven't played it.

But yeah, most of us do.

We had Mediterranean food last night. We had the same experience.

Like, why did the Treasury Department just hand their servers over to Musk? He's not even a government employee! I get Trump's their boss, but if you know your boss has a bad idea, why not push back?

I keep seeing statements from people at these agencies saying how horrible it is, so why don't they just ... I don't know, NOT DO IT?

I'm asking sincerely. I don't understand it.

I've explained it as making a product at the final city, but you need parts from all the cities you pass through on the way to make that product.

I don't really understand this response from the NIH. Do they not understand civil disobedience? Why aren't they just ignoring these edicts?

Asking sincerely: What am I missing?

I used to love long, heavy, punishing games. Now, I just love Age of Steam. I don't have time to learn new games that will take 10+ plays at 3+ hours each just to start being competitive.

We also met a kind woman who is part of a local volunteer group that cares for the cats. They feed them, give them vet care when necessary, and rehome many of them to the US. They're called Save a Gato and accept donations!

This is Hortence. I didn't want to disturb her nap.

This is Ogre. He came up to me and grabbed my hand and pulled it to him, so I gave him pets. Then he realized I didn't have food and gave me a nip. Still a good boy.

This is Bess. She wanted no pets, and asked me to keep my distance. I respected that.

I feel like this entry should come with a phonetic spelling.

Congratulations!

Swirly Ploof. Very Dickensian.
