I put out a Costco Cheeto to see how he liked it. I did not expect him to react like this.

Where the hell did this come from?
Yesterday evening, Sparky and I sat out in the cool damp for a while. It was so pleasant, I thought about getting out my pipe.

Yeah, a cookie, a little trophy, or something for being so meticulous.
Well, not me, because I blew the smoke detector deadline by 7 months, but the prospect of some recognition would have been motivational.

I had a brain wave and checked Amazon to see when I bought the last set of smoke detectors. That’s not bad, I’m only 7 months late. The old smoke detectors are testing okay so I wasn’t in peril. That’s better than I’d expected.
I also scheduled an email to be sent to myself in 2036 to change the smoke detectors.
I am on fire today.
Sparky doesn’t understand why I keep tethering him outside for a few minutes as I test each new install.

Sparky didn’t want to talk this morning, and thought we should spend the time in quiet contemplation. I think he just took a nap.
Minneapolis Public Schools offering E-learning through Feb. 12 due to ICE shooting
MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – School district officials announced Wednesday night they were canceling classes for the rest of the week out of an abundance of caution due to safety concerns around the city in the aftermath of Good’s death.

Trump has everybody all wee-wee’ed up. For some reason, a million people are taking to the streets in Iran, so the government shut down the electrical grid and internet. Elon Musk turned the internet back on using satellites so the protestors can get back to social media. I wish them all well, but I’ve got my own problems.

Max has potential.
Sparky likes him because, “He is not good with small animals or chickens.” He says Max sounds like a sensible fella.

A woman died yesterday after interfering with federal ICE officers. I won’t post a link because you have already decided whether or not you are in favor a civil war in America.
