Sparky is exhausted. Just before this photo was taken, he was sleeping with his eyes closed. It’s noon, but Sparky doesn’t intend to move.
I am tempted to sit in the chair next to him, and put on my socks. If I do that, Sparky will feel obliged to come over and ask to get on my lap. He is so tired, I don’t know if he would do it. I’m not going to try because he needs his sleep.
Flying Taxis Officially Lift Off – But Only In China, Thank Biden’s FAA
China has approved the use of large drones as commercial taxis. A passenger gets in the cabin, mashes a button, and the drone flies to the destination. It’s completely automatic.
The article sarcastically thanks the FAA under President Biden for not approving this technology in the US. The FAA should sincerely be thanked for their caution.
Yesterday was log-splitting day. Joe has a side gig selling firewood, so he occasionally buys a log truck. He has the equipment to handle logs, but occasionally recruits some helpers.
Eugene Daniels is a weirdo who managed to become an MSNBC reporter. That’s fine, none of my business.
Actor Richard Chamberlain just passed away at 90 years old.
Chamberlain was trying to be an American Peter O’Toole. He was a little much. Chamberlain started out as the lead character in a medical drama, Dr. Kildare, in 1961, then bounced around doing TV movies and being a guest star on other TV shows. He kind of settled on mini-series.
He seemed kind of cheesy, so I knew what he was in, but don’t recall ever watching any of it.
This is the photo that was going to be used for Sneezy, but it deserves it’s own post.
For some reason, I didn’t see this photo when posting Sparky shakes off his disappointment.
