Too bad to much time has passed since I took this picture and I can’t find a geotag for it. I have no idea where this was.

Teslas remind me of the man who runs their company. I haven’t gotten around to writing my screed about Elon Musk and I don’t think he deserves enough of my time to really screed it up, so here’s a short version. Basically, he occupies the same part of my brain that Donald Trump does. I think he bloviates, he’s a terrible person who doesn’t stick to his own standards, thinks much too highly of himself, and has no actual effect on my life other than annoying me.

I also hate how both men have hoards of people who think they are amazing and will not hear otherwise. Both dudes are in the way way back of the Amazing line. I’d actually put them in the Lesser Mediocre Realm.

There once was a time when I thought about Donald Trump about once per year. I’d like to go back to that frequency of thought. There was once a point (and not really that long ago) when I asked Matt, “Is there someone named Elon Musk?” because I wasn’t entirely sure.

Anyway, this chalk on wall summed up my mood.

The rains came torrentially while I was waiting for the MAunts to show up at the Rose City Cemetery. But luckily it tapered off so by the time we made it to the second cemetery the sun was out.

It’s still quite cold, though.

It is fierce, unceasing, and cold!

Reinforcing how much I like working from home, my first day back in the office wasn’t great. It rained on me both ways, so I was soaking wet. My coworker gave me an earful about how people ask too many questions when I was looking for conformation that I had the right desk, the mouse I brought didn’t work, my computer randomly shutdown midday and took about 15 minutes of work with it, and plus the general awkwardness of a first day, compounded by the fact that I have been working for the company for more than a year.

I stopped by Little Caesar’s on the way home.

A nice thing about my company is that they don’t require me to work in the office. I will try out a once weekly visit for six months and reevaluate.

Maybe the dude who has never had any children should keep his trap shut about the humanity that childrearing brings?

I’ve got a lot of opinions about raising children, but since I’ve not done that job, I keep my remarks to myself.

Just right here on this blog. And apparently the writer of the comic Sally Forth has also been reminiscing because the cat brought up the fact that PB Max needs to come back.

In googling, I found this copycat recipe.

I’m not sure who Patricia Johnston is, but she and Matt got a package today.

Number of times I’ve been asked if I’m changing my name: 4

Number of times Matt has been asked if he’s changing his name: 1

It’s the name of the beach house that MultCoLib employees can stay at. It’s also a greatly evocative word.

So evocative that some marketing company slapped it on their beverage. Harumph.

Here’s hoping it doesn’t become the next La Croix.

The pills on the right are the exact same pills as the ones on the left. But the pills on the right cost me more than $300, while the pills on the left cost me $60.

The pharmaceutical industry is causing real harm to the hard working people living in the United States. Healthcare (even for cats) is not affordable. And it could be. It very easily could be.
