Work from home buddy is helping me break a big technical problem into little technical problems. She recommends focusing on the minimal tasks needed to get something working in production… and checking the current state… of her food bowl.

Morning hike was more exciting than expected.
Guy on dirt bike: Just so you know there’s a fire up a head off the trail. Don’t worry. It’s been called in.
Us: How far ahead?
Guy: From here? Oh, maybe 200 feet or so….

Husband: I don’t think that’s a vase. It’s an ice tea pitcher.
Me: I’m a ruby programmer. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck then it is a duck.

We spent the week of Christmas in the mountains. That involved listening to a lot of roof avalanches. Here’s the before it fell and after we dug out pictures. Aka, you don’t want to be standing under one of these. I now understand why A frames are a good choice since they direct the snow away!

Not sure if I want to laugh or cry. It thinks I’m a man in his early 20s that is deeply obsessed with French. (I did ask it to help tutor me in French a few times.)

This is Apricot. @dougwig.bsky.social is her human. Her personality is best described as purr purr murder. She loves attention and the other cats but can’t help herself and eventually pounces on anything near her. Lilly has never forgiven Apricot for existing but Apricot still adores her.

This is Lilly. I am her human. If I raise my voice she has been known to run over and smack/claw my leg like Im a misbehaving child. When I come back from business trips she gives me back and sits on my husband. She is utterly sweet to me and sleeps in my lap but can be a terror to the other cats

This is Gracie. She is shy with strangers but adores her people and fellow cats. When she wants attention it is an order and not a request. You need a doubled over blanket to be safe from her happy paws but the loud purrs make it worth it. She has a heart of gold!
