Animals eat other animals. Works as designed.

I was going to try an Impossible burger until I read the nutrition facts. It’s at least as bad for you as beef.

I don’t have bears yet, but they’ve been seen in the county. We have coyotes, but it seems they aren’t true coyotes, but a cross between coyotes and wolves - coy wolves. It makes sense because they are bigger that western coyotes. I see them trotting down the walking trails sometimes.

Oh, and a Bechstein.

I cannot say I have ever wanted a used jet liner. I'm really more of a yacht or Gulfstream guy.

You don't see nearly as many people driving the $100 beaters my brothers and I drove as young'uns. And as PD says, cars are much better and safer today.

The birds were not eating much with the cicadas here. Now that they are fading, they're chowing down at the feeders.

If you want goldfinches, WTG, feed this stuff. Pricey but the finches LOVE it. We have 6 pair.

No need to look for aliens. They're here already.

FUBAR with Ahhnold. Very funny.

The Waterfront

Finished Mobland. Great crime show.

The Bear

We use the Dawn grease cutter stuff for cleaning the stovetop. Works a treat. The Dawn dish soap works fine for what I use it for - cleaning the nonstick frying pans and anything that is not dishwasher safe. But none of that requires much power.

May we all live believing we’ve changed our worlds for the better.

Make this. You'll thank me later. I just used ground chipotle and some adobo spice instead of the can. also breasts instead of thighs. Also sauteed instead of firing up the grill for two little chix breasts. Still delicious. Marinated for three hours.

I don't know if you've ever dealt with dementia or not, but I have several times. One of the worst aspects is trying to connect to the person, somehow, anyhow. There is still a lot of them hiding in there, and I've seen them struggle and suffer because they seem to be aware that they can't quite get there. Anything that brings that out is a blessing.

What a great idea.

I’ve used that technique for years.

Yeah, but you had a really good run in this industry, as did I. I’m not making quite the hourly I did full time, but at 2.5 years with this client I’m loving it. Keeps me involved, my mind challenged and I get more respect for my work ethic than I ever did anywhere else.

Good piece from Haaretz.

I think it more likely he cannot find the job he wants. I think technical writers are probably in more jeopardy than computer scientists and developers. I get several solicitations a week.

If a guy with his credentials can’t find work there’s something more going on. Rose Hulman is a top school.

I have a Fitbit my daughter gifted me. It’s nice and I wear it to check heart rate if I’m changing my exercise routine. But it’s nice I know what it will be I don’t wear it and my phone counts steps.
