I was attempting to be too productive this morning, when his bowl slipped out of my hand. For breakfast, he gets a third of a cup of kibble and half of a hard boiled egg. Nothing very sticky.
Sparky’s poise and judgment surprised me again.
This is what happens when it’s midnight, and I want to have a beer and stay up.
We’ve had this conversation many times before.
When a project might be a good idea, it’s better for me to do it, then to worry about regretting it later. This project might be like that.
Vehicles will rust if they are parked on dirt as moisture comes up. The camper needs to be parked on the new asphalt, but the new asphalt needs to stay nice.

Bill Gates has to be our worst billionaire. He started the Gates Foundation to fix intractable problems so everyone would love him. He managed to jam himself into tough problems, screw things up, then move on to the next problem. Just unbearable.
MrBeast is trying something fun.
There always seems to be a construction project going on around here.
A couple of days ago, Sparky wanted to go out to talk to the construction guys to find out what they smelled like. That seemed like a good idea. I had some questions.

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.
