Me talking to kids about ‘puters.

I've been going through The Long Earth series lately. I'm enjoying it and feels like old sci-fi, but it does seem as though it's lacking something. The premise is so excellent and a little bit of James S. A. Corey's character development might round it out. It's the kind of story that might work really well(maybe better) as a TV series.

In 1924 Oscar Mayer sold the first pre-sliced bacon.

So today I found out that @mary uses the Voice (à la Dune) on Heidi. She speaks for/through her lovey, Buddy the Sloth and it's like witchcraft. Pretty sure the neighbors know we're nuts.😂

Nope.

Ugh, just found a windscorpion in the house. I had to look up what it was. Nature is full of all sorts of lovely creatures.

Finding some real gems while pruning clothes. Never mentioned that I used to work for the ATF.

@eureka Hey, love your work! I've been thinking about making canvas tents lately and wanted to try a small one. My wife used to run a tack shop and, even though she did a bit of sewing, it's not her thing. Can you recommend any machines/reference materials that would be needed for these kind of stitches? I've had about an hour of experience on a small machine.

Tell me what you think. I made an clothing outline to categorize every article of clothing (84!) that I should "need" in my current lifestyle/climate. If it doesn't fit here, it gets removed from the house. Did I miss anything obvious? Just tired of my wardrobe being some nebulous thing.

How do you like my Librem 5 case? Kinda sad I’ve been using this for a few months now.

Stove Top Stuffing. It's not just for Thanksgiving! It falls right in the Venn diagram of cheap, healthy(ish), easy, quick, shelf stable, and delicious.

What Adelle thought she was going to do...

Some flora at The Outpost today. Thistle Ridge is getting out of control.

😂 I'm just looking at tents and some of these ads!

Anyone ever been to the Khan Shatyr? Even though it was a one-off, the idea looks ripe for mass production. A "small" 30 person tent would be slick. There is something similar at the Lighthouse ArtSpace in Denver.

Wouldn’t it be wild if Titan didn’t fail on its own, but rather was snagged by a squid or whale?

Got a book yesterday. I really don’t have time for this stuff, but it looks fun and is interesting and beautiful. I try to fill the library with things that might pique Heidi’s interest, should she ever stumble upon them.

Adelle and my mom having fun! Mom tried to convince Bunny, the old mule, that running was fun and that she had a chance!
