WSJ: I Tried the Robot That’s Coming to Live With You. It’s Still Part Human.
The 5-foot-6-inch robot shuffled to the dishwasher, pulled the door handle and slid a fork—tines up, naturally—into the silverware holder. Then it grabbed a towel to wipe the counter. Later, it folded my sweater and fetched a bottle of water from the fridge.
Don’t try living in a science fiction future, it’s a sham.
I might have heard that there was a major Pinocchio movie out in 2022. There were actually two major Pinocchio movies released that year.
There is just no way to make this look good. Unless I get a tape worm from Sparky or deer wasting disease, I will remain a fat guy.1
It helps to say that I am famine resistant, but the photos don’t lie. I could phony them up like the fat-arsed social media girls, but that defeats the purpose of having a record of our workout progress.
This is a nice way to start the day.
When I finished my shave and shower, I found that Sparky had gotten up and out. He starts the day by taking a nap by the fire, and I start the day seeing him taking a nap by the fire. Everybody wins.

WSJ: Margaret Atwood on the Lessons She Learned as a Young Girl
Anyone who thinks that females are perfect, that girls are nicer, that every sadistic thing girls and women do is the fault of “the patriarchy,” has either forgotten a lot or never been a 9-year-old girl at school.
My cosmopolitan niece, dressed in lilac in the photo, was once chastised by Margaret Atwood for not being nice enough.
CNN: Former Vice President Dick Cheney dies at 84 years old.
I’m not one to celebrate somebody’s death. Cheney seems like he pissed everybody off, so others will be posting snarky articles about him in a couple of days.
A few years ago, I listened to Cheney’s memoir, In my Time.
Appreciate the little things and take photos of the mundane. That’s what we miss when circumstances change.
We have a nice little routine. Sparky probably wakes up first, but he doesn’t get out of bed because he has the electric blanket he received last Christmas. It’s just a $15 heating pad, but it’s pretty nice for a dog.
Sparky got pretty salty when I told him that the truck is gone. He really likes car rides, and he thought they were over.
