Update on my grandmother. She didn't want to eat 2 days ago and has slept more, but has since been eating chicken soup that my mother made for her. She ate her normal lunch today and a cookie, which I think is a good sign. O2 levels are good and no fever. This is all coming from staff, so I hope it is true. 15/20 of the residents are confirmed and 2 have passed away. Thank you for all of the prayers, I hope that she continues to recover!

@Citizenzibb@fosstodon.org You ever mess around with BSD, or did you find it a little too much like self flagellation?

My Gotennas arrived today! Glad to say pairing with a couple phones was a cinch. First test on range through a wooded neighborhood(one was in a house)...disappointing. I was only able to reach about 2000' from inside my truck. I will try a real line of sight test soon, but I hear people regularly get 20 miles through air.

My grandmother, Rachel, tested positive for Covid-19 today. At 92, I hope she can make a quick recovery. She has been such a good and positive influence in many lives, especially mine. Please pray for a good outcome.

"If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men. Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, 'Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.' Therefore 'If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing so, you will heap coals of fire on his head.' Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."
-Romans 12:18-21

Think I went a little overboard and purchased a few things related to emergency communication.

And an 8 pack of goTennas. I'll let you know how they work.

Do you folks remember that period of time when Covid19 had just begun to hit the States and we still joked about how it could impact things? Then it became real. I'm getting the same vibe these days about civil unrest following the election. Talk to your family and friends NOW and make plans in the event that things get crazy for a while.

I love architecture along with the feelings and tones it can create. I heard one of my favorite buildings, the Burroughs-Wellcome Building, is up for demolition. The first time I saw it glinting in the setting sun, I thought I had slipped into Blade Runner. Wish I could tour it before it goes.

Here is the location, check out the 3D if you can.

At a restaurant with a friend recently.
Hostess: "Hello, what's your name?"
Friend: "Nguyen."
Hostess: "No, your server will take your order once you're seated. WHAT NAME IS YOUR PARTY UNDER?"
🤦‍♂️

My little girl is growing up...

A ray of light in my personal catacombs.
