Fitness gadget makers haven't figure out how to distinguish human gaits from the usual house pet gaits?

@Mik said: Good news on his progress and that his mental acuity is pretty darn good. It’s a marathon. How are you holding up? I’m always concerned with the caregivers. Thanks for thinking of me! I'm doing well. Everything is manageable at this point. Mr wtg is getting stronger so helping him transfer between his wheelchair and recliner is less taxing physically than it was. Plus I'm in better shape! It also helps that I'm a planner and have previous experience with caregiving. I just figure out how to play the cards we've been dealt. It would be much harder if we still had a dog or had other responsibilities. We met a man who was in acute rehab at the same time Mr wtg was there. The guy and his wife in their early 60s and both still working. Just bought a new house in January. I'm not sure she's prepared for what to do when he comes home. I also find it easier to deal with Mr wtg's physical limitations; taking care of my Mom who had dementia was much more challenging, emotionally at least. We've always been homebodies, so having to stay close to home a lot isn't that difficult. I plan a lot around his day rehab so I can do shopping and errands. And we have a couple of people who can come over and stay with him if I have to go out. The garden is my refuge. When things seem a bit overwhelming, I remember this: Link to video

The inside is like a labyrinth. No rhyme or reason. No privacy. The outside isn't great. The only good thing is the privacy and views from the top floors but they messed that up by connecting different bedrooms on different levels to the outside patio. Shouldn't the owner of a house like this have a private balcony?

Palatial and free.

So Canvas is back online for many schools — but not mine! They are saying they won’t bring it back until they finish some third-party verification that it’s safe. I mean, that’s certainly the smart thing to do, but everything is in limbo in the meantime. Not only finals, but I’m teaching a summer session class, which starts on Tuesday and it’s all hilt in since Canvas…

There's a country in Asia that eats them fertilized, put into the ground, and left to rot. I would starve to death first.

I have pulled the first tick off me already this spring. But I have a hunch that it may not be as bad this year for us, seeing how we did not have as much snow as usual, and we hovered around 0F for many days. Fingers crossed.

That's nice.

Shout out to Tampa.

Here we go again.

The thing with San Marzano tomatoes is not the variety but the location - the volcanic soils around Vesuvius. If they weren't grown there the designation is pretty meaningless. I use Cento San Marzano tomatoes regularly and find them a fine product. Many chefs agree. This lawsuit strikes me as just a competitor trying to tarnish the frontrunner.

Could be great. What is the catch?
