@bachophile Given the past few years, that might not be a bad thing. 😕

I was surprised to read that only 2,000 were built.

Please… I’m trying to eat breakfast.

Apologies - I forgot that it's breakfast time on the West Coast.

Might be problematic this time of year.

As much as I dislike abortion, I am opposed to the Texas law. It's a horrible precedent and akin to 'Nice little career you have there. Shame if something should happen to it'. It's not the business of a state legislature to set up civil suits to enforce a societal goal.

So many docs don't look at the chart patient they have in front of them.

And this too.

Do not like. It may be more effective, but at what cost? There’s no real end to how technology can be used to enforce and detect human behavior. I have long feared a world where choices are dictated by the surety of detection.

For that matter, how did you weather the Cape during the storm?

I haven’t seen it yet though my neighbor says it’s good. Cape was fine, here at least.

Going home tomorrow

Gorgeous. How’s it feel?

It's wonderful. No slippage at all.

That's nice, the FAA is there to help.

Yeah, but at what cost to both society and their message?

@mik said in Feeding Felix:

Animals have very accurate senses of time.

And very accurate senses of routine.

For our kids the routine is...

George showers and then feeds. When I go to shower, Boris is sitting at the door, waiting for me.

At about 2:30 PM, Boris hops on the chair by my desk, knowing it's time for a brushing and a treat.

At 7:30 PM, Maggie knows that it's time for her nightly treat.
