I can't wait until my new more powerful ipad-using glasses arrive.  This is incredible. It is exactly 9 am and I didn't turn on the light and feed the goldfish and one of them swam over to the side of the tank near where I'm sitting and splashed water on me...They're as bad as the dog.

I have walking around glasses, using a saw glasses and using an ipad glasses. I've abandoned trying to see my phone so I just leave it in a desk drawer with the sound muted and don't return any of my calls.

Politically the only thing I'm not really happy about is the Medicaid thing. Cutting benefits is a really bad way to balance the budget. Especially considering we spend five times more than any other country on Earth on the military. However I'm well aware that paying medical costs for illegal aliens isn't going to help anything. But by the same token I think if they are already in this country we have a moral responsibility to pay for their medical care if they can't. But I sure believe we can cut down on the number of people coming into the country illegally.

I believe they want to bring it back to pre covid enhancements. Back to income based subsidies.

It's really amazing that the same idiots crowing about Trump "subverting democracy" are the ones demanding that public policy be decided by childish mob tantrum and rioting simply because they lost the lawfully executed electoral process. Once again...we are all sick of the hate.

I appreciate telescopes the way some guys ogle over guns. They don't necessarily shoot them, they just marvel at the way they are built and the way they function. I have the same appreciation for compasses - with the magnetic needle that points north and for analogue weather instruments.  They're beautiful and simple and they represent an age of discovery of the natural world.

The young cats go berserk for catnip. They get really possessive of it and roll around acting crazy. But Gus has zero interest. He was feral.
Has nothing to do with feral. If they were fixed before they started mating they usually show no interest.

They're all fixed. Gus is just too dignified.

Saw this guy on YouTube try to stop a 30 ton spool that had fallen off a truck by running up to it and trying to stop it by spreading his arms and pushing back against it. Flattening him literally like a pancake. Like watching a bugs Bunny cartoon.
