Now I want to see it. I've read all kinds of things about octopi since it was decided they were intelligent. All I have to do is figure out netflix or something since you can't rent movies anymore.

I could make a long list. But I with everything I like, which includes stuff from several continents, if I were to have a last meal I'd take a cheeseburger. The absolute perfect cheeseburger, meat done the right way on a grill, toasted bun, all of that.

I get up every morning and there's this thing called the Soundhole. It's full of names that are obviously aliases or just made up by some robot and sometimes those names or that site show up on my email. It's never asked for money or personal information, but that makes me doubly suspicious. Those names are obviously after something, the place appears to know way to much about me.

Spockets was very funny in it's time. But imagine trying to air something like this now:

Reminds me of Dieter and the Sprockets. Beat me to it. Who is Cate Blanchett by the way?

I've heard you solo, Terry, singing about science. I thought it was great.
It's sunny now, but it sound like we'll have some thunderstorms tonight. I see my stupid-in-law called, I have't brought myself to call her back yet.

Time does two things. It flies, and it changes the way we approach things. One thing that remains stable, however, is that many things that happen today most likely won't be remembered a week or two from now.

Oh no! I loved that guy. Musically he lifted up so many people. And he was darned good.

Anyway, happy birthday, Doc! Stay safe this weekend during the winter storm.

The Donner family would have been familiar with this storm.

I loved that song the first time I heard it. I never put much credence into a music video, but that video nailed it. Now I Love the song that much more.

Vietnam

I was a kid in school. Vietnam was something that was just there. Like the weather report or waking up in the same bed to the same people. It was there when kids my age were born and there until we were 13 and around when boat people started joining us in school. It was constant chatter among adults, and Life Magazine along with its photos seemed to be everywhere. That Napalm girl, naked and fleeing with other children in absolute terror is my age. That's the photo that caught the attention of us kids. At nine we weren't able to grasp what was going on in Vietnam no matter how many times someone explained it. Nine year olds aren't built for that. But the facial expressions of kids the same age is something all children can understand. That photo explained a whole lot to us. And our collective hearts did a big thump.

There is a new blind student in my area who I became aware of this week. He is from the Marshall Islands. I spoke to a friend and colleague of mine who works in the agency north of me today as she has three Marshallese students. Funny thing. My new student and all three of hers have very similar visual diagnoses of having no eyes or having severely under-developed eyes. We both made note that the Bikini Atoll is a coral reef in the Marshall Islands. And that it doesn't take a whole lot of googling to discover that the radiation levels in that area are still considered unfit for life.

I have used an air fryer to soft boil eggs. Me too. And hard boiled. I love my air fryer.

I attended a Celebration of Life, yesterday for an old friend/coworker. I was hoped to see some of the people we used to work with, but didn't see any. Other than the family there were only 3 people I recognized I went to a Celebration of Life like that last summer. It was really a potluck with family and friends, people stood up and said great things about the guy. Besides me there was just one co-worker. John had been retired for 5 years and almost everyone else in his cohort had retired as well, leaving only a couple of us dinosaurs to remember who he was. But the celebration with his family was just a wonderful thing.
